I don't recall male actors from Disney's remakes saying similar things. I could be wrong though. But other actresses like Emma Watson, Naomi Scott, and Halle Bailey have said similar things about modernizing the story and the female characters for the remakes without getting any backlash. That's why I don't believe misogyny can be blamed for this. I think Zegler is getting criticized not because of what she says, but the way she says it. She gives off an air of entitlement and brattiness when she talks in general which in conjunction with her seeming lack of appreciation for the original makes her an ideal target for people to express their frustrations regarding Disney and Hollywood at large.

I was talking about Disney remakes in particular, but I do recall the incident you're referring to and there was definitely backlash from Elvis fans. Just because anti-woke YouTubers didn't make a video about it, doesn't mean there wasn't backlash. Those are mostly invested in geek culture, not indie cinema like Priscilla.

But I think it’s mostly her attitude. Getting an iconic role like snowwhite and saying these things about that character annoys a lot of Disney lovers. If you see videos of Rachel, the way she acts, it’s just very theatrical…she is not being her genuine self..it’s a bit of teenage behaviour, trying to be cool…but actually being the opposite.

However, I do think she has talent and a beautiful voice, and is probably one of the better casting choices Disney has made the past years…

We've had like 50 snow white movies, who cares if rachel hates the original one, I hate that movie too

I dislike Encanto, but if they casted hispanic actors and I got a role I would still say I dislike the original, it's valid

carolinakid wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 5:20 am Totally agree, Sotiris. I could be wrong but I don’t recall any previous actors trashing the original versions of the Disney remakes they were in. In fact, all the interviews I remember had them expressing great love and/or respect for the original classics. Zegler is the exception and imo, she has only herself to blame for the backlash.

I thought she was good as María in WSS
and she didn’t, to the best of my knowledge, trash either the original film
or Natalie Wood’s performance.
....At least not publicly.

Q: What are your thoughts on the rumor going around that the true love that wakes up Snow White in the live action is the true love from her people she gets in return instead of a true love’s kiss? I personally am a fan of it.

Skyler Shuler: Do I believe the rumor? Yes.
