Disney Screwing Over Beloved Writer Alan Dean Foster

I've always hated Disney. They're too big for their britches.

So... apparently Disney is planning a live-action version of Snow White.

And is casting a Latina actress as the lead.

And is removing the dwarves.

So... what happened to Hollywood demanding appropriate racial and cultural casting of characters?

And... isn't the story called "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves?"

Are we sick to death, yet, of what Disney has become? I am.

I feel like this is Disney saying, "Look how inclusive we are!" instead of actually BEING inclusive. When you're ACTUALLY inclusive, you don't have to advertise how inclusive you are. Does that make sense?

Stopping self from going into everything I've read and learned about older "original" versions of Snow White but the story we basically know is Italian. That being said Snow White can be any ethnicity, it's about the queen seeing her as a threat.

As for Disney being "inclusive"... Only if they have money and are conventionally attractive.

Disney is only ever "inclusive" when they know they can make money off it.

Snow White is addressed around 8:00 into the video. Has other things and some probably NSFW language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR5U4lRLhF0
