Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Live-Action)

[Ben]

Yep, Disney even posted it.

Wow. That’s abysmal.

[EricJ]

Fan rumors about whether the project would quietly disappear during strike delays were all over the Internet, and could swear we already had one about Disney officially dropping foot-mouthed Rachel Ziegler, now that they were going back to square one.

But no--Because studios, once they invest a lot of money in a project they've told themselves can do no wrong, like to sink into denial when early audience reaction suggests they DID do wrong...And they comfort themselves by telling themselves it must have just been those impish lil' fanboys again, stubbornly nitpicking some minor problem that can be quickly fixed in post over the weekend without too much money, in time for the release date.
Which, in this case, would be: "Oh, I see! Disney fans were just too upset about the 'No Dwarves' thing! They just wanted it to be more in the Magical Pixie-Dust Disney Legacy Family Tradition! "

(Well-llll...I won't lie, that was PART of it.)

[Randall]

So, the new Sneak Peek.... Am I the only one feeling slightly more optimistic now? Can this be salvaged?

[Ben]

Uh…no. Not as bad as it could have been, but that’s now either not Snow White at all, or too slavishly tied to it. And someone didn’t get the memo that the Wicked Queen is *not* Maleficent…!

[Randall]

Ironically, Jolie was NOT made green for Maleficent.

I think this has gone from being maybe the worst thing ever to maybe being better than live action Pinocchio.

Yeah. I know.

[Ben]

(Shudder!)

"But, hey, it’s not as bad as Pinocchio, right!?"

[Farerb]

Her skin isn't green. It was the lighting in that particular shot:

[Ben]

Just want to point out that I never said she was green, but that, clearly, there has been a mixup with Maleficent, most probably from Gadot wanting to appear more like Jolie because, well, that’s the same character, right?

And it annoys me that the point on her cowl isn’t centered to her nose, between her eyebrows properly. I mean, they go to all these great lengths to make elaborate costumes with opulent designs…and then don’t fit them right!

[Farerb]

You just know that when this movie flops the headlines are going to be "Disney's Folly".

[Ben]

Sadly, however appropriate, I don’t think people are that clever or knowledgeable anymore…
