Sure, but the mirror as a metaphor only really works if it's superficial appearances in question.
Magic mirrors are notoriously cryptic.
I get your point, in a modern context "fairest of them all" means a lot and we have drastically expanded what "take a mirror to yourself and look inward" could mean, but I'm a stickler for purity in the old fairy tales because I think there is a more raw and primal truth to them. Taking Snow White and all the language it uses out of context would be considered cultural appropriation, colonization, or whatever nonsense if it were anything other than a white person germanic tale. But I do feel these stories have a human resonance and SHOULD be adapted widely as the lessons within apply to all. But you gotta admit its a bit odd to have a character called "Snow White" who isn't pretty pale and if you are gonna pit her against the queen then you gotta stop casting uber hotties for the queen and 7s for Snow White.
Aww..

Disney Showcases Magical Look at ‘Snow White’ - The Walt Disney Company
Disney's Snow White—a live-action musical reimagining of the classic 1937 film—is coming to theaters on March 21, 2025.
Looks like they replaced the previous “dwarfs” with CGI dwarfs after all the backlash. I thought part of the reason people were mad was because of the lack of representation of actors with dwarfism, though? I don’t get modern Disney at all.
No one added the brazzers logo yet?
Soooooo, rather than hire 7 working actors who happen to be dwarves (or even just do a LOTR with perspective shots) they committed to 100 MILLION in CGI to achieve largely the same end result?

I tried again and still found it unlikable. Changes aren't bothersome, I like what Ritchie did with Arthur and enjoy changes to other Disney classics. It's also a story that could be vastly improved upon modernized. Lion King I didn't care for either.
Is that a rare footage of a young nepenthe?
Is it not the chuckling berries?

Bet the main character Riley is gay now. I honestly would be shocked if not. "Inside Out 2: Coming Out"
Hence the new emotion; anxiety … about coming out

i was literally shaking when i saw that
Trans maybe. Which narratively could be interesting if she goes on hormone blockers and T supp and all the emotions suddenly switch sex as well and have different personalities. Wonder what the "roid rage" emotion looks like
She was a hockey player in the first film, right? Seems appropriate 
I don't know but I'm more curious about those cans of the lady you have on your avatar. Who is that?
Well she ain't a step sister so don't be an ass and share
With inside out they mean the vagina has been turned inside out to become a penis.
If they were black they’d be mistaken for Oompa Loompas?

I think there are two take-aways from the statement. One is that it doesn't benefit companies to make strong political statements as corporate positions, particularly things that focus on 1-2% of your workforce. If Disney was saying "kids should stay in school till 12th grade and we make media that supports that idea", that is a pretty generally applicable and benign thing. But saying "we think the core family concept of a father, a mother, and children is outdated and needs to be replaced with alternative models of broken homes, blended families, single parent households as the norm and totally acceptable and should be pushed to kids" is pandering to a very small demographic and ignores that virtually everyone and all the data thinks the classic nuclear family is the optimal path, broken, blended, or single parent homes are not the ideal and shouldn't be pushed as if they were. Doesn't mean that stuff can't be shown, as lots of kids live in those situations, but its the "ideal" part that gets Disney in trouble I think.Disney’s financial statements prove company became 'too woke,' will shake up corporate America: expert | Fox News
House of Mouse acknowledged that its focus on cultural and social issues impacted profits
Eh, I dunno. I feel like everything Deadpool could say as meta commentary on superhero films was done in DP1. I didn't really care for the "story" in DP2 and the shock value was already wearing thin. I've got faith in Hugh but I'm not sure there are any new ideas and the schtick may already be dull.
I won't complain if its essentially fan service mashed up with Hugh's swan song playing Wolverine. It's ok for a movie to be fun without much of a message.
LOL good luck with that. 95% of their work force, 95% of their industry, 95% of their HQ's city, and 95% of their HQ's state are far left activists, they couldn't make a non-pandering work if their life depended on it. They quite literally have no idea how to make characters and IP like they use to, all the guys that did are long gone to retirement, or fired for being problematic or poor fits for the new culture.
I don't think this is true. Folks are still putting in hard work on these films and typically folks that are actually good at their job and worked to get there aren't wokeivists. It's really just execs who think this is what "the audience" wants who don't really believe any of it themselves, and the marketing/writing teams that need to go. It isn't that hard to write traditional audience media, hell, they churned them out by the dozen back in the day and there are legions of books about it. But you DO need folks with passion and creativity, and quite frankly you can smell the loonies when they enter the room, if the execs just stop hiring those folks and go back to hiring all the standard guys that were pushed aside and make a culture that is safe for them to get back to work (plenty of articles about the "old guard" that were disposed of or at least made to feel very uncomfortable if they didn't parrot a specific ideology), then the money comes rolling back in.
Nah.
Agreed. All of the agenda stuff in the movies are just symptoms of a deeper sickness. I would argue that there is a competency crisis in a lot of industries when it comes to workforce replacement. If you're not hiring the best of already slim pickings and pushing good people out you are going to be in a world of shit.
