This is the part where Disney blames bigots rather than admitting they just made a bad movie people never wanted to watch
They purposely casted controversial actors hoping to get free publicity - Hollywood's new favourite marketing ploy is outrage casting. But this time it didn't pay off.
Bigots definitely didn't help, but I know far more people who didn't go simply because "why would I want to see that?" Vs bigots
The bigots who got riled up by fox bews wouldn't go to see it anyway. Maybe if they turn the evil witch jewish and snow white was the good nazi child.
The original movie was made very much with an audience from 100 years ago in mind. Boomers have nostalgia for it, so can’t change the script too much. Meanwhile, millennials are socially aware and see the problems with the story. Disney tried to make everyone happy, and generate a little bit of free press, and failed to make anyone happy.
This was a remake that should never have gotten off the ground.
It's not even that. This story is easily watchable in any way you'd like, and everyone has probably already seen it as a kid.
