Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs arrived in theaters way back in 1937 and was key in putting Walt Disney on the map. A wave of what have become beloved animated classics soon followed, including Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo (and that was in the following three or four years alone).
Inevitably, there are elements of movies like these that haven't aged well but, as we saw in The Little Mermaid, a few tweaks here and there can fix those. For some reason, Disney has deemed Snow White particularly problematic, hence why Marc Webb's upcoming live-action movie is looking to fix much of what wasn't broken.
Both the Seven Dwarfs and The Prince are out of the remake, and comments from lead star Rachel Zegler have only served to make the backlash worse.
Now, we have additional details (via Toonado.com) on "The Bandits," including the fact Snow White's new love interest is not a Prince, but Jonathan, a member of a group that's clearly akin to Robin Hood's Merry Men.
The comment bound to send the internet into a frenzy, however, comes when we learn "Snow White herself is an independent, liberal socialist." In this version of the classic tale, it sounds like she and these Bandits will lead a revolution against the Evil Queen.
That's probably not what many Disney fans were hoping for from a live-action Snow White.
In terms of confirmed cast members, the movie stars Zegler as Snow White, Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman, Martin Klebba as Grumpy, and Andrew Burnap as Jonathan.
Webb helms the reboot from a screenplay by Barbie scribe Greta Gerwig and playwright Erin Cressida Wilson. While there have been talks of a release date delay, Snow White is currently scheduled to release on March 22, 2024.
