Unnamed Commentator

So I would say that if I'm charting it, the first controversy actually stems from comments made by very popular, very beloved actor Peter Dinklage, who has a common form of dwarfism. And the original Snow White has been criticized for being ableist specifically for its portrayal of the seven dwarves and specifically for portraying them as childlike, right? And so when this movie was announced,

There was a big question mark of what were they going to do about that element. And when Peter Dinklage was on Marc Maron's WTF podcast, they got to talking about it.

And he called Disney out for hypocrisy, for patting themselves on the back for casting a Latina actress as their quote-unquote fairest princess, right? Disney responded very quickly, saying they were taking a different approach, that they were going to talk to the dwarfism community.

I mean, it's very unclear, because what happened next was an alleged photo from the set leaked, which revealed that the dwarves had seemingly been replaced by actors in a diversity of genders, heights, and ethnicities, only one of whom had dwarfism. And so that made headlines.

And then in the final product, they seem incredibly reminiscent to the original animated dwarves, just this time CGI animated. So I don't necessarily know what conversations were had, but it's definitely that element alone has taken its own journey.

I mean, some people online have probably called her that, considering that any time these days that there is a remake or an adaptation of popular beloved IP, especially where in which the main character, the titular character, is white, you will always have a contingent of more conservative traditionalists, let's say, who are going to push back against any sort of diverse castings.
