Little people actors said they will be protesting Disney studios after they opted to use CGI for the seven dwarfs instead of hiring them for the upcoming live-action remake of “Snow White&#8221; that hits theaters on March 21.
Speaking to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14502827/rally-Disney-protest-Snow-White-Dwarfs-CGI.html">Daily Mail</a>, actress Ali Chapman — who stands 3ft 8in tall — said &#8220;The whole point of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is right up there in the title.”
“The seven dwarfs were the stars of the original 1937 film which is a classic loved by millions of people,” she added. “Disney has made a live-action film and instead of giving seven talented little people the chance to shine they&#8217;ve scrapped us completely and used CGI instead.”
&#8220;It&#8217;s a total travesty and there are a lot of angry little people actors and actresses out there,” Chapman continued. “People are flying in from all over the world to tell Disney this isn&#8217;t acceptable.”
Chapman’s husband Matt McCarthy, who stands 4ft 1in tall, also slammed the studio and said that “We&#8217;ve been totally shut out but we&#8217;re not going down quietly.”

“It&#8217;s hard enough in Hollywood,” Matt added. “Everyone&#8217;s trying to make their dreams come true. When you&#8217;re a little person opportunities are few and far between. I was born to play Dopey the dwarf. It&#8217;s my dream role but Disney never gave me a chance.”
“There were seven great parts right there but Disney decided to go with freaking cartoons,” Chapman continued, noting the CGI. “Shame on them!&#8221;
Jordanna James — who is 3ft 11in tall — said “&#8217;Hollywood is trying to erase us. Everyone goes on about wokeism and inclusion and yet we are constantly overlooked and kept in the shadows. It&#8217;s hard enough to go out in the real world and be seen. We exist. Let us have the same opportunities as other people.”
Famed &#8220;Elf&#8221; and &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; star Peter Dinklage previously made headlines when he slammed the “Snow White” remake when news surfaced that it was in the works.
“It makes no sense to me,” Dinklage <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2022/01/25/disney-consulting-with-members-of-the-dwarfism-community-following-peter-dinklages-snow-white-criticism/">said.</a> “You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together.”
Not long after his comments, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-call-me-dwarf-actor-fumes-over-peter-dinklages-snow-white-criticism">Disney announced</a> it wasn’t going the traditional route, “to avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film … “
Images then surfaced on social media of full grown adults playing the characters, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/matt-walsh-goes-viral-after-disney-admits-woke-snow-white-remake-images-are-real">reported</a>. A backlash then ensued and Disney ended up using CGI to create the dwarf characters.
