<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Disney</a> narrowed the focus of its federal lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis this week to claim that he politically retaliated against the company.
The company amended its lawsuit to drop other claims that it made in the case, including that the state &#8220;breached the company’s contractual rights, took property without compensation and violated its due process rights in a yearlong dispute over a special tax district that includes Disney World,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-07/disney-narrows-desantis-lawsuit-to-focus-on-free-speech-claim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg News</a>.
The revision shrinks the amended lawsuit nearly in half compared to the original suit.
Disney claims that they wanted to drop the claims because they are being addressed in a lawsuit at the state-level.
A spokesperson for DeSantis said in a statement: “The governor welcomes Disney’s surrender on all of its claims challenging his legislative acts.”
A Disney spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC that the company would “continue to fight vigorously to defend these contracts, because these agreements will determine whether or not Disney can invest billions of dollars and generate thousands of new jobs in Florida.”
Disney suggested in May this year that it had pulled out of building a billion dollar office complex because of “changing business conditions.”
“Given the considerable changes that have occurred since the announcement of this project, including new leadership and changing business conditions, we have decided not to move forward with construction of the campus,” said Josh D’Amaro, Disney’s theme park and consumer products chairman. “This was not an easy decision to make, but I believe it is the right one.”

The company had become enraged after the 44-year-old governor stripped it of its control over a special tax district that was created in the 1960s that allowed the company to enjoy special benefits that no other company in the state had.
“Disney announced the possibility of a Lake Nona campus nearly two years ago. Nothing ever came of the project, and the state was unsure whether it would come to fruition,” DeSantis’ Press Secretary Jeremy Redfern <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-signals-new-action-against-disney-not-over-after-old-board-made-last-minute-deal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the time. “Given the company’s financial straits, falling market cap and declining stock price, it is unsurprising that they would restructure their business operations and cancel unsuccessful ventures.”
Disney had already <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/disney-layoffs-second-larger-wave.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laid off</a> 4,000 employees in recent months with more jobs expected to be cut due to the company’s financial struggles.
Disney has sued the state of Florida, claiming that they are the victims of “a targeted campaign of government retaliation,” and Disney CEO Bob Iger implied during a recent earnings call that the company may retaliate in response to its feud with the governor by withholding development plans in the state, asking, “Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, and pay more taxes, or not?”
D’Amaro said later on in his statement, however, that the company still has plans to invest $17 billion in Walt Disney World and create 13,000 jobs there over the next decade.
While some Republicans have tried to attack DeSantis over his battle with Disney, the company is not popular with Republican voters, according to recent polling on the topic.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/miley-cyrus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miley Cyrus</a> opened up about the moment she knew that her marriage to long-time partner actor Liam Hemsworth was over, and she said it came only months after the couple tied the knot in December 2018.

&#8220;Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision happened that me and Liam&#8217;s commitment to being married just really came from, of course, a place of love first — because we&#8217;d been together for 10 years — but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as [we] could.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Disney</a> fans are furious as more photos of male employees dressed in women&#8217;s attire surfaced online.
The newest images come courtesy of Libs of TikTok. The account shared images on its X account which were reportedly submitted by Disney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disneyland">theme park attendees</a>. 
“Disney has men dressed as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/social-issues">women</a>, wearing dresses greeting children at some of their attractions,&#8221; LOTT wrote in the X caption. “Received both of these this week from disturbed visitors.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
X users expressed outrage and disgust in their replies.
“Imagine paying all that money only to find drag princesses at Disney World,” one account <a href="https://twitter.com/heyjustpray/status/1695241590665515241">posted</a>.
“Total degeneracy,” a second <a href="https://twitter.com/itsreallyleah/status/1695671178755748192">agreed</a>. 
A third follower compared his time working at the parks with the way things are now. 
“When I worked at Disney World in the early 90s, male cast members could not have facial hair, you could not have visible tattoos (either sex), jewelry was limited in size and quantity, and females could only wear muted makeup. Plus, only males could work at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Jungle Cruise,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeGayHistorian/status/1695172464307826752">wrote</a>. “&#8230;I bet Walt is spinning in his cryogenic chamber.”
This wasn’t the first time Disney parks made headlines for photos of male employees in dresses. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disturbing-man-in-a-dress-welcoming-children-to-disneyland-princess-boutique-sparks-outrage-on-twitter">reported</a> in May, a TikTok clip of a man in a dress welcoming small children into Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique went viral on social media.
The new pics appear to be taken outside the same boutique but feature different employees.
Disney Parks updated its uniform policy in 2021 to allow employees, or as they’re referred to in the park, “cast members,” to wear gendered clothing of their preference regardless of their biological sex.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-14043">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney,” a Disney official said in a statement at the time. “And we want our cast members — and future cast members — to feel a sense of belonging at work.”
The dress code also allowed cast members to show their tattoos and let men wear nail polish.
“Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic,” the statement continued.
“Our new approach provides greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos. We’re updating them to not only remain relevant in today’s workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work.”

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the wokest of them all?
Anyone who’s been paying attention to the entertainment industry over the past few years could have guessed that Disney’s latest live-action adaptation of a classic film was going to thrust modern elements into a timeless fairy tale. Disney keeps using this strategy for all their remakes despite the backlash.
“Peter Pan &amp; Wendy” (2023) mixed girls into the Lost Boys. “The Little Mermaid” (2023) writers updated the lyrics to “Kiss the Girl” lest they be accused of Prince Eric failing to get consent for physical contact. The director for “Beauty and the Beast” (2017) famously bragged about including an “exclusively gay moment.”
All the women in these remakes also get stronger, more feminist-approved backstories. In “Aladdin” (2019), Jasmine gets a much bigger backstory and a desire to run the city, not just escape it. “Beauty and the Beast” depicts Belle as an inventor just like her father.
But no film is catching so much heat before making it into theaters as the new “Snow White.” More than six months prior to its scheduled release, this live-action adaptation of the 1937 animated musical is getting a lot of bad press due mostly to comments made by the actress cast in the lead role, Rachel Zegler.
Like so many other Disney films, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is based on a Brothers Grimm fairytale. Zegler, who is of Colombian and Polish descent, responded to fans on social media who were questioning her being cast in the film despite the original Snow White being described as having skin, “white as snow.”
<blockquote>&#8220;You don’t normally see Snow Whites that are of Latin descent, even though Snow White is really a big deal in Spanish-speaking countries,” Zegler said. “Blanca Nieves is a huge icon whether you’re talking about the Disney cartoon or just different iterations and the Grimm fairy tale and all the stories that come with it. But you don’t particularly see people who look like me or are me playing roles like that.”</blockquote>
Anyone who questioned Zegler’s casting was immediately denounced as a racist. Zegler responded to the backlash on X by sharing photos of herself dressed as Snow White as a young child. “Extremely appreciative of the love I feel from those defending me online, but please don’t tag me in the nonsensical discourse about my casting,” Zegler wrote.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
extremely appreciative of the love i feel from those defending me online, but please don’t tag me in the nonsensical discourse about my casting. 
i really, truly do not want to see it.
so i leave you w these photos! i hope every child knows they can be a princess no matter what <a href="https://t.co/AU5PjJutK5">pic.twitter.com/AU5PjJutK5</a>
&mdash; rachel zegler (she/her/hers) (@rachelzegler) <a href="https://twitter.com/rachelzegler/status/1680225020772057088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 15, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Things went downhill from there. Appearances aside, some of the strongest reservations to the new “Snow White” come from comments Zegler made about updates to the storyline, which seem to indicate writers have completely changed the storyline.
The original &#8220;Snow White&#8221; is about an Evil Queen (played in the new version by Gal Gadot) who is jealous of Snow White&#8217;s beauty. She orders a huntsman to murder of her stepdaughter, but later discovers that Snow White is still alive and hiding in a cottage with seven friendly dwarves. The Evil Queen disguises herself as an old woman and brings a poisoned apple to Snow White, who falls into a death-like sleep that can be broken only by a kiss from a prince.
“It’s no longer 1937,” the actress told Variety during a September 2022 interview of the new movie. “She’s not going to be saved by the prince, and she’s not going to be dreaming about true love; she’s going to be dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be and that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless, fair, brave and true.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot on Bringing a New Modern Edge to &#039;Snow White&#039;" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2RVg3yetTE4?start=103&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
And that’s not all. In another clip that went viral, Zegler accused Snow White’s prince of “stalking” her.
“I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn’t do that this time,” she said.
“We have a different approach to what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because, like we cast a guy in the movie …  It’s one of those things that I think everyone’s going to have their assumptions about what it’s actually going to be, but it’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.”
This left many fans wondering: if &#8220;Snow White&#8221; wasn’t a love story, then what kind of story was it, exactly?
Disney already changed the storyline from the original film once. The Brothers Grimm version included macabre details like the Evil Queen demanding for the huntsman to bring back Snow White’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 old fairytales. But now “Snow White” will be apparently be so unrecognizable that fans wonder why the studio bothered using the story for inspiration at all.
There’s also the matter of those seven dwarves. Last year, &#8220;Game of Thrones&#8221; actor Peter Dinklage spoke out publicly about the remake happening in the first place, saying Disney shouldn’t be telling a &#8220;backward story&#8221; about dwarves.
Disney responded with a statement, saying, &#8220;To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community.&#8221;
Photos leaked from the film’s set sparked all kinds of reactions. Zegler’s crew of “companions” included people of varying heights, genders, and appearance, prompting The Daily Mail to run a <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12298801/EXCLUSIVE-Snow-White-Seven-Politically-Correct-Companions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> touting them as “Snow White and the Seven Politically-Correct Companions.”
“So they have one little person playing a dwarf to be more ‘politically correct?’ So 6 other little people didn’t get the job or the check and somehow this is more ‘sensitive?’ Disney is a joke,” Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren <a href="https://twitter.com/TomiLahren/status/1679841554175868933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> in response to the article.
Many people have been complaining about the woke-ification of &#8220;Snow White.&#8221; David Hand, the son of one of the original film’s directors, called the remake a “disgrace.” He also claimed his father and Walt Disney would, “very much disagree with it.&#8221;
&#8220;I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves,” Hand <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/08/18/disney-snow-white-seven-dwarfs-remake-woke-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Telegraph in an August interview. He said Disney is “just so radical now. They change the stories, they change the thought process of the characters. They’re making up new woke things and I’m just not into any of that. I find it quite frankly a bit insulting (what) they may have done with some of these classic films.”
There is a chance that “Snow White” won’t be as insufferable as it seems. There’s also a small chance that Disney will notice all the negative press and rather than forging ahead, they’ll stall the project and address some of the more egregious issues.
The likelier outcome is that the studio will force their agenda on a disinterested audience and “Snow White” will become yet another pointless, embarrassing disaster of a remake that leaves everyone questioning why it was ever made.

It was at a time I felt misunderstood.&#8221;
&#8220;I have spent the last 18 months painting a sonic picture of my perspective to share with you,&#8221; she added. &#8220;The time has arrived to release a song that I could perfect forever. Although my work is done, this song will continue to write itself everyday. The fact it remains unfinished is a part of its beauty. That is my life at this moment ….. unfinished yet complete.

Her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CwWnXZmA0vR/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posts</a> linked to the video of her wearing a vintage Mickey Mouse T-shirt, a reflection of her days on the Disney Channel, under a sparkling red top.

The song coincidentally dropped on the 10th anniversary of two momentous occasions in her career — when she twerked with Robin Thicke during the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and the release of her song &#8220;Wrecking Ball,&#8221; <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/25/miley-cyrus-mourns-wild-days-in-new-song-used-to-be-young/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> noted.

That puts both films behind the surprise hit of the summer &#8220;<a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt7599146/?ref_=bo_se_r_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sound of Freedom</a>&#8221; which has earned $177,773,859 as of Monday domestically.
Internationally both films have done better — with the latest &#8220;Mission: Impossible,&#8221; which came out in July, scoring $541 million at the end of the weekend. And Ford&#8217;s reprisal of his famed adventurer&#8217;s role in the fifth installment of the Disney franchise, which hit theaters in early June,  earning $375 million over the same time frame.
Despite those global numbers, the cost of the making the two films in pandemic era (due to delays in release dates and COVID safety measures), means they both had to do better than they have, with experts estimating both will have lost nearly $100 million in their theater runs, according to sources familiar with the financials, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/news/indiana-jones-5-mission-impossible-7-box-office-flops-explained-1235690262/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.

&#8220;These movies would have been a lot more economical if it weren&#8217;t for COVID,&#8221; Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice Pro told the outlet. &#8220;But even if that meant their budgets were inflated, at the end of the day, these movies cost what they cost and performed how they performed.&#8221;
Sources with knowledge told the outlet Cruise&#8217;s &#8220;M:I-7&#8221; needs to earn $600 million globally in order to break even.
To put the numbers of each of the film&#8217;s into further context, &#8220;Mission: Impossible-Fallout&#8221; in 2018 earned $791 million, not adjusted for inflation. While 2008&#8217;s &#8220;Kingdom of the Crystal Skull&#8221; remains the franchise&#8217;s highest-grossing film after it took in $790 million globally, the outlet noted.
Cruise&#8217;s last film before &#8220;M:I-7&#8221; came out was the smash hit &#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221; from Paramount. It was released in May 2022, and held the honor of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/avatar-sequel-soars-past-top-gun-maverick-globally-to-become-top-grossing-film-of-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top-grossing movie</a> released last year, earning nearly $1.5 billion globally.

In 2020, Rachel Zegler, currently starring as Snow White in the upcoming live-action film version of the story, ripped actress Gina Carano for writing “beep/bop/boop” in her Twitter bio after people online demanded Carano list her pronouns.
“I won’t put pronouns in my bio to show my support for trans lives. After months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio.. beep/bop/boop,” Carano explained. “I&#8217;m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation.”
Zegler tweeted, “Don’t make fun of pronouns,” catalyzing her followers to attack Carano.

Zegler made it clear she was referring to Carano by adding, “It’s a fun time to remind you all to love Pedro Pascal.” Pascal was Carano’s co-star on “The Mandalorian” before Disney fired Carano. Pascal did use pronouns in his Twitter bio.
Carano <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/08/17/gina-carano-calls-out-rachel-zeglers-hypocrisy-after-snow-white-actress-engaged-in-hate-campaign-against-her/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">got even</a> this week, responding to Zegler after Zegler wrote on Twitter, “I hope the world becomes kinder.”
Zegler’s tweet came in response to the harsh criticism leveled at her for referring to the Prince in the Snow White story as a “stalker” and declaring that the fairy tale was not a love story.
Carano replied with a GIF from “Schitts Creek” of a character tapping her screen to trigger the word “boop.”

That reportedly prompted Zegler to<a href="https://youtu.be/c9RPDBbhXdM" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> block her</a>.
Zegler had said about the Snow White story:
<blockquote>
I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn’t do that this time. We have a different approach to what I’m sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because, like we cast a guy in the movie …  It’s one of those things that I think everyone’s going to have their assumptions about what it’s actually going to be, but it’s really not about the love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.
</blockquote>
 In February 2021, Disney cut Carano from her role on “The Mandalorian” they had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/final-straw-hollywood-reporter-sources-say-disney-wanted-to-fire-carano-in-november" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> been planning for months over right-wing views Carano had expressed over social media. Two days later, Carano and The Daily Wire announced a new partnership.
“The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered,&#8221; Carano said in a statement. &#8220;I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob. I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.&#8221;
Daily Wire co-founder and Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro pointed out, “Social movements have consequences, and we are now in the middle of a mass social movement to expel half of the American population from the body politic &#8230; It is not about an honest attempt to cleanse the culture. It is not about an honest attempt to have discussion or conversation. It is about, can we wrong-foot you so that we have an excuse to say that your entire career has been completely and utterly garbage and that you are a bad person, and so we feel good about excising you from the body politic. That’s all that is happening right now in the culture, and that is a big deal.”

The son of the original “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Snow White</a>” director slammed the upcoming live action <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">remake</a> from Disney, saying it has the potential to “destroy” the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">film’s</a> legacy.
David Hand, 91, shares the same name as his father, who directed the original 1937 animated classic. His comments come just after lead actress Rachel Zegler called the 1937 animation &#8220;extremely dated&#8221; and claimed the new version of Snow White is &#8220;not going to be saved by the prince.” She further accused Snow White of falling in love with “a guy who literally stalks her.”
Leaked photos from the set also showed the seven dwarfs being changed into “magical creatures” to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.” 
Hand, who worked as a designer for Disney in the 1990s, said in an interview with <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/08/18/disney-snow-white-seven-dwarfs-remake-woke-backlash/">The Telegraph</a> that both his father and Walt Disney would be &#8220;turning in their graves&#8221; over the &#8220;insulting&#8221; updates.
&#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it, and I know my dad and Walt would also very much disagree with it,&#8221; Hand said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s pathetic that people feel that way&#8230; these are art forms in the world of film today.&#8221;
He went on to say the original “Snow White” was made &#8220;with good taste when it was written.” Hand said in general, Disney &#8220;shouldn&#8217;t be taking a classic and rewriting it in their own image.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692367770357000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0PjvCHmf-6JEmNrv3nGxwO">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
&#8220;They change the stories, they change the thought processes of the characters, they just aren&#8217;t the original stories anymore. They&#8217;re making up new woke things and I&#8217;m just not into any of that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I find it quite frankly, a bit insulting that they may have done with some of these classic films.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did&#8230; I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves.&#8221;
Hand echoed what many other critics have been saying when he urged the studio to come up with new films rather than focusing on remaking the classics. &#8220;Pick on something else&#8230; create new characters, if you&#8217;re gonna do this, but don&#8217;t destroy or try to destroy something that is, that is a classic and is a beautiful piece.&#8221;
“Snow White” is slated for a March 2024 release.

Son Of Original ‘Snow White’ Director Slams Live Action Disney Remake, Says Father And Walt Disney ‘Would Be Turning In Their Graves’

Son Of Original 'Snow White' Director Slams New Version With Rachel Zegler: 'My Father And Walt Would Be Turning In Their Graves'

Wokeness

Keri Russell recently said she was &#8220;lucky&#8221; to leave &#8220;The All-New Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; with her &#8220;sanity&#8221; and &#8220;dignity&#8221; because others weren&#8217;t as fortunate, without explaining further.
The 47-year-old actress opened up about the early days of her career and being cast for the popular Disney show as one of the coveted Mouseketeers along with future superstars like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, <a href="https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/keri-russell-the-diplomat-netflix-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">W Magazine</a> reported.
When pressed by the reporter if the actress saved &#8220;anything from your time on the show,&#8221; Russell answered, &#8220;My sanity, my dignity. Not everyone got out alive.&#8221;
At one point, Russell admitted she was the &#8220;least talented&#8221; person in the cast of young stars.
&#8220;Some of those people are still my best friends—Ilana [Miller] and Lindsey [Alley]. I was there at a time when there were a lot of famous kids there,&#8221; the &#8220;Felicity&#8221; star said. &#8220;And I say this completely truthfully: I was literally the least talented one there. I&#8217;m not kidding.&#8221;
&#8220;When I look at those kids, I&#8217;m like, why in the world did they pick me?&#8221; she added. &#8220;Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears. It was wild.&#8221;
The &#8220;Waitress&#8221; star landed her role on the Disney show when she was 15, appearing on the hit from 1991-1994.

Earlier this year, Russell praised her former Mouseketeer cast.
&#8220;They were all very talented. Like, Christina and Britney and Ryan Gosling and Justin, all those kids were 12 when I was 17. So I was a little older,&#8221; the actress said on &#8220;<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/keri-russell-mickey-mouse-club-britney-spears-justin-timberlake-1235259224/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Kelly Clarkson Show</a>.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, I could drive. I was cool. But they were wildly talented.&#8221;
In October 2021, Russell was one of the many stars who <a href="https://pagesix.com/2021/10/26/keri-russell-hopes-britney-spears-is-happy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke out</a> in defense of Spears amid her then-ongoing battle to get out of her conservatorship held by her father, Jamie Spears.
&#8220;I just hope she&#8217;s happy, whatever that means,&#8221; Keri said at the screening for her film &#8220;Antlers.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if any of us really know how her life really is,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But I just hope she&#8217;s happy.&#8221;

Keri Russell Says She Was 'Lucky' She Got Out Of Disney Show With ‘My Sanity, My Dignity’

Film financier TSG is suing Disney for allegedly withholding millions in profits by using “nearly every trick in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood">Hollywood</a> accounting book.”
TSG has spent $3.3 billion on 140 projects at Fox, which was acquired by Disney in a $71.3 billion deal in 2019, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/08/disney-lawsuit-film-finance-partner-tsg-hollywood-accounting-fox-streaming-1235520089/">Deadline</a>. Some of these <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/watch/movies">projects</a> include ”The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Deadpool,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and “The Shape of Water.”
One of the major issues of the lawsuit involves distribution. These industry standards have shifted dramatically as streaming services became more popular, especially after COVID lockdowns.
“This windowing of film distribution is designed to maximize profits for the studios (and for stakeholders like TSG) by preventing one distribution revenue stream from cannibalizing another,” the lawsuit says. “When windows are collapsed on one another, however, the studio (and its investors) miss out on significant potential sources of revenue.”
The suit states that Disney “ordered” 20th Century Film Studio to renegotiate the output deal, therefore giving up “a significant portion of its guaranteed HBO license fees” in exchange for HBO allowing these films to stream on Disney+ and Hulu. They say this was a financial boon for Disney, the shareholders, and senior executives, but wound up costing TSG “millions.”
The company further alleged that this move caused a reduction in its cash flow, which prevented it from investing in future money-making projects, including “Avatar: The Way of Water.&#8221;
TSG claims that 20th ignored a standing agreement with FX Networks that calculated license fees tied to domestic box office performance, The Hollywood Reporter <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-tsg-lawsuit-accounting-1235566787/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>. They further accused the studio of brokering “a secret side deal for a fraction of what the parties had previously agreed was fair value.”
TSG’s attorney John Berlinski used the phrase “Hollywood accounting” to describe how studios “cheat” investors, including his clients, out of profit money. The attorney also represented Scarlett Johansson when she sued Disney over her cut of the film “Black Widow.”
“Disney (and the executives running it) had and continue to have every incentive to do anything and everything they can, including manipulating distribution of the Qualifying Pictures and preventing TSG from liquidating its interests in certain tranches of Qualifying Pictures, to attempt to boost Disney’s share price at the expense of TSG and other profit participants,” Berlinski wrote in the complaint.
Auditors estimated that TSG’s earnings were reduced by at least $54.5 million from Electronic Sell-Through distribution, per <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-tsg-lawsuit-accounting-1235566787/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. 
The suit also calls out Disney CEO Bob Iger specifically.
“Moreover, as Disney’s own CEO, Bob Iger, has admitted, his company pursued this strategy recklessly and with little forethought,” the document states. “For example, during Disney’s August 9, 2023 earnings call—in which Mr. Iger announced Disney+’s second subscription price increase in a year—Mr. Iger admitted with respect to Disney+, ‘We grew this business really fast, really before we even understood what our pricing strategy should be or could be.&#8217;”
Reps for Disney have not yet commented publicly on the lawsuit.

Disney Sued By Financing Partner For Allegedly Cheating Them Out Of Millions

Lawsuit

Branding experts warn that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/disney">Disney’s</a> live-action “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Snow White</a>” remake could become a colossal failure based on comments made by the lead actress, Rachel Zegler.
The 22-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">star</a> has been making headlines recently for her comments regarding the original 1937 film’s storyline, which is based on a German fairy tale. Zegler said she “hated” the classic love story and thought it was “weird,” plus labeled the prince as a “stalker.”
As for the new live-action version, the “Snow White” star alluded to some major updates. 
“She&#8217;s not going to be saved by the prince and she&#8217;s not going to be dreaming about true love,” the actress promised.
Branding expert Carla Speight predicted Zegler’s highly publicized comments could hurt ticket sales. She told the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12408951/Rachel-Zegler-backlash-Disney-Snow-White-remake.html">Daily Mail</a> that even though old Disney movies “hold old values,” taking revisions “to the opposite extreme” in an effort “to inflict strong and loaded messaging on the viewers” is a mistake. 
Speight said, “Disney will need to be careful with how they have portrayed Snow White and what they do and don&#8217;t allow their actors to say about it going forwards. They simply cannot repeat the same mistakes and allow their actors to be so vocal in their own personal opinions during promotions.” 
“It can have a huge impact on ticket sales, especially with the amount of negative backlash so early in the promo trail,” she continued. “They need to get the key messaging and strong selling point into a brief for the cast of the film and ensure they stick to it. If they don&#8217;t, it&#8217;s a disaster waiting to happen and the backlash will keep growing.” 
She recommended Zegler “clarify” her comments. 
PR expert Nick Ede has similar thoughts. He told Daily Mail that the film’s star has proven she “isn&#8217;t the best person to promote the film.”
“Rachel is a big-named star playing one of the world&#8217;s most famous fairytale characters immortalized by Disney, but instead of taking the lead of &#8216;The Little Mermaid&#8217;s&#8217; Halle Bailey and embracing her role, Rachel has actively chosen to spoil the narrative and express the new direction she has taken Snow White in,” Ede said.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-36736">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
“This is by no means a wrong move and Snow White, and other stories, if they were written today would have very different nuances and narratives but the fact that she&#8217;s actively being negative about the source material and laughing off the old Disney film and the fairytale makes her look too eager to show off the new version and shows little or no respect for the previous version and other iterations,” he added. 
“I am sure Disney executives must be having crisis talks and thinking perhaps their new Snow White isn&#8217;t the best person to promote the film and ensure it is a box office success.”
He mentioned that “Snow White” has a “negative narrative” surrounding it, meaning Disney will have to work overtime to create “magical and positive hype” ahead of the film’s 2024 release date.

Backlash To ‘Snow White’ Actress’ Woke Comments Could Tank Disney Remake, Experts Say

Backlash To 'Snow White' Actress' Woke Comments Could Tank Disney Remake, Experts Say

An &#8220;Indiana Jones&#8221; character&#8217;s well-known connection to snakes and his utter hatred for them has inspired researchers to name a new snake found in the Andes mountains after the actor who plays him, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harrison-ford-recalls-the-unfortunate-thing-hes-known-for-on-film-sets-but-hey-s-happens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harrison Ford</a>.
The new species of snake was discovered in May in Peru by researchers who have named the reptile Tachymenoides harrisonfordi, with Harrison Ford calling the experience &#8220;humbling,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/harrison-ford-snakes-indiana-jones-new-species-1235566363/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
&#8220;These scientists keep naming critters after me, but it&#8217;s always the ones that terrify children,&#8221; Ford said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand. I spend my free time cross-stitching. I sing lullabies to my basil plants, so they won&#8217;t fear the night,&#8221;
&#8220;In all seriousness, this discovery is humbling,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It&#8217;s a reminder that there&#8217;s still so much to learn about our wild world — and that humans are one small part of an impossibly vast biosphere.&#8221;
&#8220;On this planet, all fates are intertwined, and right now, one million species are teetering on the edge of oblivion,&#8221; Ford continued. &#8220;We have an existential mandate to mend our broken relationship with nature and protect the places that sustain life.&#8221;
American and Peruvian researchers have only located one of these species, which is described as a slender, pale yellowish-brown snake with black splotches, measuring 16 inches long.  They said they named the snake after Ford to honor his decades-long environmental advocacy, the outlet noted.
As Ford said, the snake isn&#8217;t the first critter to be named after him — researchers named an ant (Pheidole harrisonfordi) and a spider (Calponia harrisonfordi) after the actor, the outlet noted.
Ford has long been linked to the slimy creatures following his iconic line in the first Indiana Jones film, &#8220;Raiders of the Lost Ark&#8221; and scenes with them throughout the franchise.

&#8220;I hate snakes, Jock. I hate &#8217;em!” Indiana Jones said at the beginning of the first film.
