Disney scraps UK premiere for controversial Snow White film in ‘attempt to avoid backlash’
The movie has been an unfortunate magnate for controversy.
Disney has decided not to roll out the red carpet in London for its upcoming massive film release, Snow White.
Bosses are reportedly declining to hold a glitzy premiere in London, as would be expected for a major release such as this, in an attempt to ‘avoid backlash’ against the film.
The live action remake is understood to have updated the storyline to move away from elements present in the original 1937 animation – such as Snow White being a princess whose main function is to wait for a kiss from a prince to bring her back to life – which has been seen as a contentious move in some circles.
Therefore, Disney has allegedly decided not to hold a big cinematic celebration of the movie in the UK in an attempt to discourage any ‘anti-woke’ backlash and has opted for ‘a handful’ of carefully overseen press events instead.
A source told The Daily Mail: ‘Disney are already anticipating an anti-woke backlash against Snow White and have reduced the media schedule to just a handful of tightly controlled press events.
‘That is why they have taken the highly unusual step not to host a London premiere for the film and are minimising the amount of press questions that Rachel Zegler gets.’
