I Hate How She Talks About Snow White

"People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it's like, yeah, it is − because it needed that. It's an 85-year-old cartoon, and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come. "

Let me tell you a little something's about that "85-year-old cartoon," miss Zegler.

It was the first-ever cel-animated feature-length full-color film. Ever. Ever. EVER. I'm worried that you're not hearing me. This movie was Disney inventing the modern animated film. Spirited Away, Into the Spider-Verse, Tangled, you don't get to have any of these without Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937.)

Speaking of what you wouldn't get without this movie, it includes anime as a genre. Not just in technique (because again, nobody animated more than shorts before this movie) but in style and story. Anime, as it is now, wouldn't exist without Osamu Tezuka, "The God of Manga," who wouldn't have pioneered anime storytelling in the 1940s without having watched and learned from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the 1930s. No "weeb" culture, no Princess Mononoke, no DragonBall Z, no My Hero Academia, no Demonslayer, and no Naruto without this "85-year-old cartoon."

It was praised, not just for its technical marvels, not just for its synchronized craft of sound and action, but primarily and enduringly because people felt like the characters were real. They felt more like they were watching something true to life than they did watching silent, live-action films with real actors and actresses. They couldn't believe that an animated character could make kids wet their pants as she flees, frightened, through the forest, or grown adults cry with grieving Dwarves. Consistently.

Walt Disney Studios was built on this movie. No no; you're not understanding me. Literally, the studio in Burbank, out of which has come legends of this craft of animated filmmaking, was literally built on the incredible, odds-defying, record-breaking profits of just Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, specifically.

Speaking of record-breaking profits, this movie is the highest-grossing animated film in history. Still. TO THIS DAY. And it was made during the Great Depression.

In fact, it made four times as much money than any other film, in any other genre, released during that time period. It was actually THE highest-grossing film of all time, in any genre, until nothing less than Gone With the Wind, herself, came along to take the throne.

It was the first-ever animated movie to be selected for the National Film Registry. Actually, it was one of the first movies, period, to ever go into the registry at all. You know what else is in the NFR? The original West Side Story, the remake of which is responsible for Rachel Ziegler's widespread fame.

Walt Disney sacrificed for this movie to be invented. Literally, he took out a mortgage on his house and screened the movie to banks for loans to finish paying for it, because everyone from the media to his own wife and brother told him he was crazy to make this movie. And you want to tell me it's just an 85-year-old cartoon that needs the most meaningless of updates, with your tender 8 years in the business?

Speaking of sacrifice, this movie employed over 750 people, and they worked immeasurable hours of overtime, and invented--literally invented--so many new techniques that are still used in filmmaking today, that Walt Disney, in a move that NO OTHER STUDIO IN HOLLYWOOD was doing in the 30's, put this in the opening credits: "My sincere appreciation to the members of my staff whose loyalty and creative endeavor made possible this production." Not the end credits, like movies love to do today as a virtue-signal. The opening credits.

It's legacy endures. Your little "85-year-old cartoon" sold more than 1 million DVD copies upon re-release. Just on its first day. The Beatles quoted Snow White in one of their songs. Legacy directors call it "the greatest film ever made." Everything from Rolling Stones to the American Film Institute call this move one of the most influential masterpieces of our culture. This movie doesn't need anything from anybody. This movie is a cultural juggernaut for America. It's a staple in the art of filmmaking--and art, in general. It is the foundation of the Walt Disney Company, of modern children's media in the West, and of modern adaptations of classical fairy tales in the West. When you think only in the base, low, mean terms of "race" and "progressivism" you start taking things that are actually worlds-away from being in your league to judge, and you relegate them to silly ignorant phrases like "85-year-old cartoon" to explain why what you're doing is somehow better.

Sit down and be humble. Who the heck are you?

I'm so sick of these live action remakes. "This one actually looks good!" no it doesn't??

Where are the vibrant colors? why is Stitch so pale? why does he looks like a french bulldog? why is his animation so stiff and not good at all? Why is the pacing so weird? This looks terrible.

my brother has been learning about chinese history in school and he's learned about china being conquered by the mongols and i shit you not he said "the ONE thing mulan 2 got right"

[saveme-storybrooke-potc]

yes she DOES hate snow white. shitting on a character from a movie you've only seen once in your life and just repeating things you hear on the internet from those women who like to complain about everything IS hating on a character

[pickypickypeak]

I’m Wishing, Snow White 1937: Make a wish into the well, that's all you have to do / And if you hear it echoing / Your wish will soon come true

Waiting on a Wish, Snow White 2025: They say all you have to do / To make your wish come true / Is let it echo, echo, echo, echo / Your voice will carry through / And bring that dream to you / Just like an echo, echo, echo

SO PERFECT

The way some people are talking about Rachel Zegler one would assume she did something truly horrible and despicable. These people are talking about her as if she personally broke into their house and murdered their entire family. There are so many celebrities, influencers and otherwise famous people who have done worse things and only get a fraction of the hate or nothing at all.

Hey look it’s Simba, I mean Nala, I mean Mufasa, I mean Kiara, I mean…

Man, if only there was an easier way to be able to tell the characters apart…like 2D animation or something 🤔

If they wanted to make another adaption of How to Train Your Dragon, why not just do a book accurate adaption instead of a shot for shot live action remake of an animated masterpiece?

[screenshotsonpinterest]

Thing that has happened to me three times now:

I have to defend a live action remake that I don’t want or think we need because the studio casts a talented, beautiful young actress of color and everyone’s acting like she shot a baby because she doesn’t look like her animated counterpart

[artist-issues]

Me to Greta Gerwig, Rachel Zegler, and everyone involved in Snow White (2024):

GET OFF HER, leave her alone

Just saw a picture of "live action" Stitch and it ruined my day

[madam-o]

I had no real opinion on the LA remake of Lilo & Stitch but then I saw the trailer and now I honestly kinda hate it. I just don't think every animated classic needs a photorealistic cg "live action" reshoot that waters down what made the original film great while simultaneously making all the characters uglier and less expressive. The reason animated classics are classics lies in the word "animated". Animation is a magical process that creates art that is unique because of the format.

Can we stop doing this now? Please?

[steph-anie723]

the human centipede having a higher imdb rating than the new snow white is crazy actually

[demadogs]

the reason im so hot and sexy is because ive never watched a single live action remake and i never will

[hegodamask]

Also! Really interesting that Andor has been getting all the hype this week. Meanwhile, Skeleton Crew comes out in...3 weeks? And it doesn't seem to be getting much attention at all.
