<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There haven’t been any new ideas in Hollywood for years. Just about every blockbuster new release is a sequel, or a remake, or the remake of a sequel. The creatives at Disney, for example, have spent many years and millions of dollars turning all their classic cartoons into live-action remakes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These adaptations are sometimes shot-for-shot copies with live actors which makes their existence questionable. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what’s even worse than Disney’s revamping of old movies without changing them is the inevitable “modernizing” of classic films. In the live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast” (2017), Belle is presented as an inventor like her father. And in “Aladdin” (2019), Jasmine gets a much bigger backstory and a desire to run the city, not just escape it &#8212; plot changes that are an obvious nod to feminist themes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are hints that progressive elements will make it into the remake of this 1936 Disney classic. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During an <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/morgansloss1/rachel-zegler-west-side-story-interview">interview</a> with Buzzfeed, actress Rachel Zegler said she’s excited to bring Snow White into the modern era by telling a story that’s “a lot stronger.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There&#8217;s not much I can say about it besides the fact that Snow White has constantly been criticized — even though she&#8217;s the original Disney princess and we love her so much — but criticized for existing solely for a prince, existing solely to be rescued,” the actress explained.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think that </span>our director, Marc Webb, and everyone who&#8217;s working on this film has really taken her narrative and turned it into something that&#8217;s a lot stronger.<span style="font-weight: 400;"> And I&#8217;m very, very excited to be able to bring that to life.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s anyone’s guess how the story will be changed to accommodate woke messaging. But Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Stories Matter&#8221; initiative makes the overarching <a href="https://storiesmatter.thewaltdisneycompany.com/">goals</a> of the company clear. It states that the company will continue reviewing content and adding context disclaimers when necessary as part of an &#8220;ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion.&#8221; </span></p>
<p>Plus, changing the storyline wouldn&#8217;t be completely different from what screenwriters did with the original story material. The original &#8220;Snow White&#8221; fairytale included macabre details, like the Evil Queen demanding the huntsman to bring back Snow White&#8217;s heart and liver as proof that he killed her. He returned with the organs of a deer instead, and the queen ate them. Disney softened the story for a young audience, as they did with so many other stories.</p>
<p>One Disney employee told The Guardian storyline updates represent the company going along with audience demands. “It’s quite fascinating to see how there’s this whole thing of: ‘They’re bowing to the woke mob,'&#8221; they said. &#8220;It’s, like: no, they’re doing this because it’s good business to do things that appeal to a larger demographic. They can’t just appeal to the conservative audience, they need to appeal to everyone. Capitalism isn’t on your side here.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides casting Zegler, Disney announced that Gal Gadot will play the Evil Queen. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">IMDb says that “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” will be released sometime in 2022.</span></p>
