Disney is not done with racebending, Making Ariel Black is not enough. Snow White is a Caucasian symbol, she is a German fairytale and her Stepmom wants to murder her because she is jealous of her skin because its as white as snow and her lips are red as blood.

They cast a Latina actress/singer to play her.


Rachel Zegler a Colombian actress gets the role. She needs to close her social media before the trailer gets released because the canon nerds and the racist people will harass her in social media.

Snow White becomes Snow Brown?

Oh Tinkerbell from Peter Pan is now Black. At least its not a ginger character this time around.

The Success of Encanto and Coco shows Disney is capable of making new stories using Latino culture and win the box office. Make more movies like those instead of racebending white characters.

Let them change things if they want but make public that is specified for Latina market and not for enitre world. Allow everybody watch it but don't force it. If they want so much change I want see black actor, white actor, asian actor,...

At this point, I think Disney is doing this just to stir things up. Any exposure is good exposure I guess

But seriously though.. what are they going to do about the script which says she has skin as white as snow... casting is one thing, but now they're changing the original script. One of the reasons why people don't like these live-actions is because the script is different from the animation. I don't think Ariel or Tinkerbell being POC affects the character/script, but in the case of Snow White, her appearance (white skin) is an actual part of her name. So is Disney going to just change that part?

Maybe they will use CGI to make her look super white and cover up her tan skin. Or her tanness is what her step mom will be jelous of. Stepmom will be played by Gal Gadot aka Wonder Woman. So expect the movie to be banned in middle east.They will never get over the fact Gal is a former Israeli army soldier.

It's 100% more offensive if they use CGI to change her skin color. Changing a POC's skin to white is a big no-no and would cause an even bigger uproar.

If they say her stepmother is jealous of her tan skin... I guess it works?? Still not the same as the original story though.

Disney should just make another original character for her if they see talent in her singing/thinks she's suitable to be a Disney princess. They certainly have the means to do that so not sure why they're instead choosing to recycle old stories.

To be fair there are Gazillions of Snow White movies before. I think the Black and Latina CInderellas didnt have violent reactions since Cinderella is over saturated. I think the Stepmom will just be jealous of her beauty and the skin color will not be mentioned.

In case of Ariel, its her first mainstrean Live action adaptation then racebend her. I am sure Latin America have fairy tales Disney can use and there are Latin descent American writers who can write their own stories and make an original Latin Princess.

I wonder how they plan explain title to kids - Snow White.

[Netherrealmer]

They will make the excuse she is of German descent despite being Colombian because her lastname is Zegler. She have strong Native American features though.

She is now getting a lot of hatred and death threats and backhanded compliments.

People are calling her Snow not White enough
