MovieMan89 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 WHY would they release that!?!?? Literally worse than OG Sonic, what the actual fuck. Disney is not dumb to be unaware this movie already has an uphill battle with toxicity, I swear that 100% feels like they’re purposely trying to sabotage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just CGI dwarfes. 7 minutes ago, Krissykins said: Lol that looks like … Snow White. Some people on twitter had their knickers in a twist for nothing. I've been saying it's dumb to freak out before Disney's posted anything publicly but I'm very skeptical about this because of the statements didn't make in the past. These are just too unambiguously coded as "7 dwarves from Snow White's 7 dwarves" to be afraid of embracing this status. Disney pretty explicitly said they weren't doing "7 Dwarves" (even if they were unclear about the replacement) and their PR strategy for the UK tabloid pictures was to pretend the pictures were fake. Disney quite easily could have said something like "these are CGI creatures so you can't pretend this represents what you'll see in the film" which would be an easy thing to sell an inherently sympathetic press.

Hatebox Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 A fitting finale for the depravity that is Disney’s live action remakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontofan Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Make sense As much people like to deny it on here the negative aura on this film went quite mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I believe that Little Mermaid box office scared Disney. They are going to fix the new Snow White movie and make it as close to the original as possible. Prove me wrong Disney. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of selling the film like this https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/rachel-zegler-playing-snow-white-challenging-reveals-connected/story?id=97944193 It's being defined by "Disney thinks it's shameful/bigoted to depict fantasy dwarves" or old Disney movies have "love stor[ies] with a guy who literally stalks [Snow White]" Both of which are both pretty poor selling points and pretty negatively framed towards the core audience they're trying to court. For its visual flaws, it's worth more than a thousand words to convey what the film is going to be.

WittyUsername Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 God, this whole thing is a train wreck, and that delay is just going to fuel the conspiracy that they’re going to replace Rachel Zegler. If nothing else, one would hope this whole mess will finally kill the trend of Disney live action remakes, but let’s be honest, that’s unlikely. They’ll just make a live action Frozen.

Just don't give those sad, self-pitying folks with way too much free time on their hands what they want (attention). Simple as that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The CGI dwarves look rough but with an extra year of post production, they could look at least decent. I do wonder why Gal Gadot's Evil Queen hasn't been shown yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 It’s never a good idea to release nightmare fuel looking CGI for your tentpole, especially in this day and age.

Or will it be like when Top Gun: Maverick got delayed: The Asylum still put out their knockoff version in 2020 anyway, and when TGM finally came out in 2022, they'd gone and made a second fighter pilot mockbuster (Top Gunner: Danger Zone). That first image just makes me think Disney traded one backlash for another. Edited October 27, 2023 by BoxOfficeFangrl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, by that logic og sonic wasn’t “bad” either, just a “stylistic choice.” They chose poorly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if they were gonna release a pic, they could've easily released one with both Zegler and Gadot instead It's a trial balloon shot to see if this is what folks want. I'm sure it's literally the only CGI done so far with the dwarves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Also, I feel like this CGI portrayal of whatever it is they’re calling them seems like some kind of weird caricature of dwarfism that is more offensive than any casting of real dwarf actors to play them in live action could have ever been.

Jonwo Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I suspect the final render will be like the CGI characters in Tintin where it looks like the 1937 Dwarves but in CGI. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
