Snow White Controversy Sparks Generational Divide

The son of the original director of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has criticized Disney's upcoming live-action remake of the classic film, accusing the company of disrespecting the original and pursuing a "woke" and "insulting" version that seeks to "destroy" its predecessor. The director's son, David Hand, expressed his belief that both his father and Walt Disney would be unhappy with the remake, and criticized Disney for its string of live-action remakes, stating that they have "no respect" for the original stories and characters. The new adaptation, set to be released in March 2024, has faced backlash for its changes to the characters and storyline, including replacing the seven dwarfs with "magical creatures" and altering the portrayal of Snow White.
