Months later at D23, she criticized the original 1937 “Snow White,” noting that the prince “literally stalks” the heroine. One top agent says that was the moment that Disney allowed Zegler to control the narrative: “The first time she shoots her mouth off, you nip it in the bud.” Instead, the studio said nothing, and purists began to revolt. And as time went on, Disney became increasingly loath to weigh in on anyone’s speech considering that the studio was sued in 2024 by actress Gina Carano, who claims she was fired from “The Mandalorian” for voicing her opinions on hot-button issues.
This top agent probably hasn't considered how this has more or less been Disney's narrative surrounding its own material for a while now. Zegler was maybe saying it slightly louder, but she definitely wasn't going off script.

I don't know. Did Disney make any attempt to rein Kristen Bell in after her comments about Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and consent?

Rachel Zegler rehearsing 'Whistle While You Work'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtoe7jjUg9s

Sharing for the behind-the-scenes look, but I also couldn't help but notice that even though they're rehearsing with regularly sized folks (instead of people with dwarfism or children), we do see little models of the dwarfs in the background in the last thirty seconds. So by this point it looks like they WERE intending on using the seven dwarfs, though it's also not clear at what phase of development this video was taken.

I don't agree with that. The movie hasn't flop only because of Rachel's personal opinions. Gal also made some things that let us see that she supports Israel. The conflict that is happening is a war and in wars there's always 2 sides. People also complain about Gal's position but it seems that it's more easy to judge only Rachel. They are both guilty. Not only Rachel.
The movie also flopped because they changed lots of things and people get tired about it. They didn't learn from Mulan and instead of making something more accurate they deceided to change things instead of making what people really wanted to see. I'm glad that the movie is not a copy from the original but honestly if something like this didn't worked with Mulan then why is going to work with Snow White? Not including the dwarfs the same way that non include Mushu in Mulan's live action was a crazy plan. People complained a lot about it and when the presented Rachel's first look and the first view of the dwarfs it get even worst. No much people felt attracted to it and made them lost interest.
They also made some reshoots and that made people believe that the movie was really bad before even watching trailers. I had the feeling during all these years that they didn't have any trust in their product.
In these days tickets are really expensive and parents are not going to take their whole family to the theater to see a thing that they've been reading bad things for almost 3 years.

Yeah ... I understand wanting to speak up for your dad, but WOW! putting Zegler on the hot seat like that.

Also, drawing such a tight line between Zegler and death threats against Gadot is just so ...

What Mr. Platt just did was WAY more antagonistic and targeted than anything Zegler did.

People are writing comments in his Instagram saying that Gal also talked about her politic ideas.
He deserves that for doing what he's complaining about.

The Variety article reads as though it was written with Marc Platt’s cooperation, or the cooperation of someone close to him. Which seems likely now with Jonah Platt corroborating details in the report via social media.

Rachel Zegler made some dumb moves and Marc Platt was probably very frustrated with her at different points in the time it took to bring this movie to audiences. But also, Rachel Zegler is just an actor. Marc Platt was a producer on the film and he was involved in all the decisions that made this movie.

What I am reading here is a very public game of “Not me, not me” for Snow White’s failure. When clearly, there is blame to go around.

I’ve still not seen it— I am very curious and hope to see it in the coming weeks!

The movie has a 1,6/10 on IMDB. It seems that people are really boicoting the film. Let's see how the box office goes this weekend but in my opinion this is going to be one of their biggest disasters.

Everybody are making jokes about Rachel appearance but honestly she's really pretty and it's not her fault that the characterization team made this awful job. Honestly I don't know how she's dealing with all this negative comments about her. You must be really mentally strong to support all this pressure.
Don't get me wrong Lukas, this is not about you. It's about all the jokes that are on social media about her.

I hope she's dealing with it the same way Jews like Gal Gadot have been dealing with hate for the last couple of years because of people like Rachel Zegler.

She's super pretty in real life, but it's like the people making her costume and hair tried their best to make her look unattractive in the movie.

Gal Gadot is not a saint. Israel is killing people the same way than Palestina. It's a war and like in any other wars people deceide which band is going to support.
Rachel said her political opinions in social media like many other people did. Insulting her and calling her ugly durin all this time is not all right. It actually sucks.

The charactrerization was a mess. The hair was too short and they couldn't create a beautiful waves. Her face is not round so this kind of hairstyles don't fix well with her. The make up was also really bad. The insisted on givin her a more nature look but it doesn't look well. In some scenes she even looks sick. You can appreciate watchin the movie that in some reshoots they tried to fix that using a more pink lipstick.

I've never called her ugly.

Rachel can say what she wants on social media, but she chose to attach this to the marketing of the film as a dig at Gadot, not because she actually cares, she knows nothing of the history and she probably doesn't even know where the region is. She did it because she was afraid that her antisemitic fans would cancel her because god forbids she stars in the same movie with an Israeli Jewish woman, and then there was the constant shading at Gadot, like liking posts that trashed her, calling her a "Pageant Queen" and thanking everyone that was involved in this film except her. This led to more and more hate directed at Gadot. She knew what she was doing.

There have been many actors and actresses who voiced their support for Palestine, and none of them have targeted an individual person.

I'm not going to change my mind. Gal has been speaking and making events to support Israel while the movie was under production and nobody is attacking her on twitter calling her ugly, wishing her dead or creating threads on X
about the hair that she has on her back (they did it a few weeks ago with Rachel).
Rachel's appearance has been under the spot long ago before her comments about Palestine. I've been seeing memes of her being ugly since the cast was announced. The political fact came after that and people gave more importance to her comments about the original SW than to these political comments. If Disney doesn't want their actors to talk about politics then make them sign a contract that forbid them to talk about it after the release of the movie. They can't blame Rachel for this huge flop because the movie was polemical before even filming.

I don't think either of the actors are to blame. Of course, I do think Zegler was unnecessarily out there on X whereas I don't think of Gadot as being political... Being Israeli and supporting Israel isn't really political to me? I didn't think she was saying much of anything about candidates or issues, but who knows. *shrug*

There are two main things to blame for this, imo. The first was the initial discussions around the film about cutting the Dwarfs, cutting the music (which they did :roll: ), racebending and supposedly severely altering SW the character. Most of those turned out not to be the case in the end--and even the racebend wasn't that big a deal considering she looked mostly like SW after all--but it's hard to break initial impressions about a film. Enough people had already written the film off as another in the vein of Mulan and TLM. Of course, TLM turned out to be fairly faithful--if you saw it, and its box office being nearly half of what it could've been says half or at least a third of its potential audience passed on seeing it because it sounded and looked as if it would be just as unfaithful as Mulan had been (nixing Ariel's hair, changing song lyrics, etc.). No doubt Mulan being ruined burned a lot of viewers in part because it was terrible on top of being priced so high on streaming.

The second thing was letting the budget get out of control. The best this film could've hoped for was Cinderella numbers as an older IP. Those two things had nothing to do with the actors. I don't think most casuals follow what actors are doing or saying, tbh.
