To no one’s surprise, Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of “Snow White” is shaping up to be yet another left-wing, woke attempt to right the perceived wrongs of the original.
“Snow White” was Disney’s first feature film, and it contained elements that do not fare well with the Left’s sensibilities almost a century later. Critics accuse the original film of being misogynistic since Snow White cleans and cooks for seven men, and promotes sexual assault when the prince kisses a sleeping Snow White without consent.
The film’s lead actresses, Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, who portray Snow White and the Evil Queen, respectively, have not been shy about how the upcoming movie will change and penalize the 1937 classic for not holding up to 2023’s woke standards.
“[Snow White] is not going to be saved by the prince. She’s the proactive one and she’s the one who sets the terms. [This] is what makes it so relevant to where we are today,” said Gadot in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
