As a result of a discussion started by Peter Dinklage, it was said that there may not be dwarves in the new Snow White movie…
Disney’s 1937 classic animation “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” this time as live-action Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot and Andrew Burnap with players such as The film, which draws attention with its cast, was released last January. Game of Thrones It was also on the agenda with a discussion initiated by star Peter Dinklage.
“I was stunned to see that they were proud to have chosen a Latino actress to play Snow White. You’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’ve done. Nevermind me,” Dinklage said on a podcast. It doesn’t make sense. On the one hand you’re progressive, but on the other hand you’re still telling a totally reactionary story where 7 dwarves live together in a cave, what the hell are you doing?”
On these words, Disney emphasized that the film would not be an adaptation of the classic Snow White fairy tale. A studio spokesperson said: “We’re taking a different approach with these seven characters and consulting with members of the dwarfism community to avoid reinforcing the stereotypes in the original animated movie. We look forward to sharing more as the movie goes into production after a long development process.”
It was also discussed that Disney could include fantastic and magical creatures instead of dwarf characters in the movie, but this time there were discussions that dwarf actors were blocked. It seems that Disney’s decision was shelved and the decision was made to continue with the usual dwarfs from the fairy tale for the movie.
Speaking at the Fan Expo event in Denver, Martin Klebba confirmed that he will portray the character of Grumpy in the movie, and has already completed filming. Klebba was best known for his character as Marty in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Of course, the fact that Grumpy takes place in the movie does not mean that everything will be like in the classic fairy tale. Disney may have completely changed the story of this character and the seven dwarfs, or they may be represented differently in the movie. We also have no clue that other dwarves other than Grumpy are also in the movie.
We can also see changes other than dwarfs in Disney’s live-action Snow White movie. For example, it was announced that Andrew Burnap would portray an original character to be written for this movie, not Prince Charming or the Hunter.
