My Favorite Pixar Movie.

I am neither side of the Israel-Palestine conflict. I'm on my own side.

Thank you @ilovemodernmovies and everyone who got me to 50 reblogs!

I plan to see Disney's new Snow White movie.

And I want everyone in the real world to see it and give it the praise and commercial success it deserves, so that those far-right extremists on the Internet will pay for their toxic, oponionated, disrespectful and blind hatred and have no power over Disney, or Hollywood no matter what they say.

Show Support for Disney's Snow White Remake with Rachel Zegler

Sign this petition, to support Disney's upcoming Snow White remake which will have a new fresher perspective on the story for future generations to enjoy and give Rachel Zegler the love and respect she deserves her performance. This movie deserves more positive attention and billion dollar success. Give those things to this movie and see it as I do. A fresh new spin on Sonw White for the new generations to enjoy.

Or maybe this will convince you.

I want more live action movies based on cartoons and animated movies!

The terms "woke" and "wokeness" are meaningless insults that, like swear words should never be used to describe anyone or anything.

I understand your prediciment, however, remaking an animated film into live action is different from remaking a live action movie in the same way.

Like most people, I have misgivings about Disney's live-action Snow White remake.

But not because Rachel Zegler isn't white. Not because she never liked the original movie as a child because it was too scary. (Why did people attack her for that? It's perfectly normal to be scared by Snow White when you're little and not warm up to it until you're older! It is a scary movie!) Not because they're trying to "update" Snow White's character and make her more "feminist" – that's just to be expected. Not because her (presumed) love interest won't be a prince. Not even because the dwarfs will be CGI.

I do think the "anti-woke" attacks on this movie have been over-the-top, and full of barely-veiled racism and sexism.

My misgivings are about the whole vibe of "This version will be better than the original" that the cast and production team has tried to promote so far. Of course Disney has done exactly the same thing for most of their live action remakes. But it seems especially crass to do it for Snow White, when the original is the movie that made Disney what it is today!

Most of the Disney animated canon, even its best and most beloved films, aren't "classic movies," per se. They're not great artistic achievements in movie history, even if we do love them. They're part of Disney's chain of corporate products.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is different. It's a genuine, bonafide classic movie from the Golden Age of Hollywood, and a truly groundbreaking part of Hollywood history that changed family entertainment forever. It's not just another cog in Disney's machine, because its success built that machine! Is it a flawed masterpiece? Of course it is, nothing human-made is perfect, and it was a grand-scale experiment that took its artists far beyond their comfort zone. But trying to remake it and "improve" on it is like trying to remake Casablanca or The Godfather.

If the new movie were a fresh new version of the fairy tale, I would be all for it. If it were a reimagining in a different setting, like the cancelled Order of the Seven film from 2012, I would be all for it. But a literal remake of the 1937 classic, with the cast members talking in interviews about how the new version "improves" on the original? That's another thing.

And more than any of Disney's other live-action remakes, this one is most obviously a money-grab. With some of the others, it's easier to pretend they genuinely wanted to bring new artistry and improvements to the original. But remaking Snow White clearly serves no purpose except profit.

It might turn out to be a fantastic movie, for all I know. But these are my misgivings.

I cannot believe it.
