In a perfect HE-world, Disney’s Snow White — an anti-traditionalist rendering of the classic fairy tale as well as a militant, storm-the-barricades show aimed at progressive women of all ages — would become an instant tank upon opening Friday, 10.21.
Alas, it’s tracking to earn around $53 million during its first three days — a disappointing tally but hardly the measure of a flop.
Then again the film cost more than $200 million plus the marketing spend will add to that figure significantly, so even if Snow White triples its first weekend earnings…aahh, let’s just wait. Whatever happens, happens.
The fact that Disney is turning down the red-carpet hoopla obviously indicates a certain squeamishness about the general, across-the-board reception.
The script was written by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson.
We are all wicked witches when it comes to Snow Woke…we want this misbegotten film to eat the poisoned apple and collapse into a coma.
Posted on 1.31.25: I need a new hate angle on Disney’s Snow White. Critical Drinker‘s new video rant is fine but I can’t parrot his opinion. Rachel Zegler‘s trashing of Donald Trump happened last November. It’s now early February….what’s a new way into this horror?
All I can think of is that the march of time and the turning of the cultural wheel have passed Snow White by. It was hatched in the woke orgy of early 20s militant feminism, and now it’s out of style and out of synch.
Go away Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot…go away, dwarves…everyone hates you. Bob Iger stated in December’23 that the woke Disney thing is over and done with, and now here we are 14 months later. The blade is about to drop.
Snow White is going to be impaled on a pitchfork when it opens in mid March. It’s going to be swallowed and spun around by a hate tornado, and I for one can’t wait for this to happen.
