With any live-action remake of an animated movie, there are bound to be changes to the original version, but some aren't always for the better. The majority of Disney fans have reduced the live-action movies down to cash-grabs that aren't worth the watch.
Actress Rachel Zegler has taken on the role of playing Snow White, but at what cost?
Not only did they replace the well known seven dwarfs with six averagely sized men and only one guy with actual dwarfism, but the scenes featuring the prince “could get cut.'' Zegler also claimed that she was “scared of the original version.” Many fans want to know why Disney would hire someone to play a princess they don't even like?
Disney’s attempts at being more inclusive can come off as even more harmful. Why hasn't Disney made new inclusive princesses instead of infringing on the history of the original princesses.
Sometimes, the adaptations can become less inclusive than what was started with. There's no wonder that with every announcement for live-action remakes some sort of controversy and issues arise within hours. Take The Little Mermaid remake for example. When people found out the main character was going to be a woman of color, they were outraged.
There's no doubt that live-action remakes will continue to be produced, but one can only hope that with each controversy, Disney will take action to improve.
