Remember when you could sit down to enjoy a movie without being lectured about social justice for two hours? Those days seem like ancient history as Hollywood continues its mission to sacrifice good storytelling on the altar of progressive ideology. Year after year, viewers have been voting with their wallets, yet studio executives remain trapped in their coastal bubbles, convinced that what Middle America really wants is more finger-wagging disguised as entertainment.

But if there’s one company that deserves a gold medal in the Woke Olympics, it’s Disney. Once the gold standard of family entertainment, the House of Mouse has transformed into a laboratory for social experimentation. Their latest abomination? A $270 million remake of “Snow White” that manages to strip away everything charming about the beloved classic while force-feeding audiences a helping of “contemporary feminism” that nobody ordered.

Even Liberals Can’t Stomach This Poison Apple

Here’s where things get interesting – this Snow White remake is so painfully bad that even the liberal critics who normally trip over themselves to praise anything with a progressive message are giving it a collective thumbs down. The film currently sits at a dismal 47% “rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes, despite these reviewers having received exclusive early access from Disney’s PR department.

From ‘The Daily Beast’:
“Snow White” “marries its clunky contemporary feminism to formulaic 21st-century musical numbers and garish CGI-ified visuals, creating a fiasco in which beauty is oft-discussed but unsightliness is the order of the day.”

These early reviewers are all “on Disney’s approved list,” meaning they were most likely to give the movie a good review. But the movie is so disappointing they couldn’t even bring themselves to do that.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Wokest of Them All?

The original “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” has endured for nearly a century because it tapped into timeless themes – humility, true love, self-sacrifice, and yes, the once-uncontroversial idea that being rescued by a prince for a happily-ever-after ending is actually rather nice. But Disney’s new version trades these enduring values for ham-fisted messaging about “equity” and “female independence.”

Perhaps most egregious is what they’ve done to Dopey. The beloved silent dwarf now not only speaks but serves as the film’s narrator. As The Daily Beast notes, “By giving Dopey the power of speech, Webb and screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson underscore their film’s interest in giving voice to the voiceless, but like a raft of similar gestures, it comes across as a groan-worthy revision.”

When you’re spending $270 million on a remake, perhaps the first rule should be: don’t break what wasn’t broken. But Disney seems determined to “fix” classics that were never in need of repair.

Trump’s Victory: The Happily Ever After Woke Disney Never Saw Coming

There’s a delicious irony in the timing of this catastrophe. Disney aimed for a “timely” remake rather than a timeless one, and they appear to have missed the cultural shift by a country mile. As the source article so perfectly puts it: “America sent Woke to the gallows on November the 5th, 2024.”

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election wasn’t just a political win – it was a cultural referendum. Americans are exhausted by being preached at by entertainment conglomerates who seem to hold their audience in contempt. Disney sank a quarter-billion dollars into a film that fundamentally misunderstands what made the original special, and now they’re about to learn an expensive lesson in market economics.

The Price of Forgetting Your Audience

The box office projections look dismal, suggesting that audiences aren’t interested in seeing beloved classics gutted and stuffed with progressive messaging. Perhaps Disney executives should spend less time in diversity workshops and more time remembering why people fell in love with their stories in the first place.

This Snow White failure isn’t an isolated incident – it’s the culmination of years of Hollywood putting ideology above entertainment. The traditional values that once made Disney films resonate with generations of Americans haven’t become outdated; they’ve become even more precious in a culture that increasingly treats them with disdain.

When entertainment executives forget that their primary job is to entertain rather than educate or indoctrinate, the market eventually corrects them. The $270 million lesson Disney is about to learn could have been avoided if they’d simply respected their audience and the timeless appeal of their classic stories.

Key Takeaways:

• Disney’s $270 million “Snow White” remake is failing with critics despite reviewers having every incentive to praise it.
• The film replaces timeless themes with “contemporary feminism,” even giving the traditionally silent Dopey a voice as narrator.
• This movie has long been plagued with problems, likely going to cost the studio a fortune in losses.
