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?

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?

[life-in-toontown]

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 🤔

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

[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.

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

[tadc-fangirlandofothers]

These are the movies I like but everyone hates

And the movies I hate but everyone loves

Please reminder that these are my opinions and please do not bash it. This is how I really feel about these movies. If you have questions on why these are my opinions, I will be glad to answer just please be respectful.

The new percy jackson show is good for launching the hopefully successful careers of three brilliant young actors and i think thats neat. but man it looks like shit

[ben-the-hyena]

Twitter and Tumblr about completely changing Ariel's ethnia and race in the live action adaptation : "die mad, fiction is fiction, and her origins don't matter in the storyline anyway, who cares where Ariel is from as long as she sings ? Anyone arguing is a racist because life is literally black and white and so are opinions on adaptations, color washing doesn't exist you're just a bigot"

Twitter and Tumblr now that Disney casted an actress who is more native Hawaiian than they ever will be but is not "dark enough" for playing Nani therefore "not a real Hawaiian and white washing" despite she is not white

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

GET OFF HER, leave her alone

[hahahax30]

Rachel zegler has me wanting to bang my head repeatedly against a wall until I start bleeding to death

Just saw the latest Percy Jackson Episode 6. IMAGINE a live action Emily Windsnap looking like the very last scene of that episode (also the lotus casino reminds me of the M-drug)

What is Disney going to do when they run out of animated movies to release as live action.

[bridoesotherjunk]

Disney announcing they're going to do a live action remake of Moana

---you can't even lie and say this is about nostalgia anymore-- the movie is SEVEN years old. Who is the nostalgia for? The movie's still fresh! this is just an obvious desperate cash grab after things like Lightyear, Strange World, and Pinocchio all fucking BOMBED.

Absolutely pathetic
