[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw it today. I don’t think it’s as bad as the reviews and all the online negativity suggest it is. It’s just mediocre. The best parts of it is what’s a direct recreation of thr original Disney animation. rachel zegler has an amazing voice and has that sweet ingenue demeanour that makes you believe why the woodland creatures would love her.

I didn’t like the addition of the bandits, that was unnecessary, or the CGI of the Dwarfs. [b]F*** Peter Dinklage for browbeating them into not hiring real little  people for those roles.[/b] Everyone lost with decision especially the quality of the final product. [/quote]

Why would he do this? Doesn't he want people with dwarfism to get more roles?

[/quote]

The cynical response is no—because that opens up a whole world of potential competition to newer actors of his physical stature when there are already so few roles.

The benevolent (to his motives) take is that he doesn’t mind fellow little person actors getting roles, but he doesn’t mind them getting roles that perpetuate dehumanizing stereotypes, which he argued that casting little people in the role of “fictional magical dwarves” would do.[/quote]

Isn’t using cgi dwarves even more insulting?  I don’t see how that solves the problem at all, they are even more exaggerated and lampooned.  [/quote]

I think it's worth going back to what Dinklage actually SAID, because "don't use real dwarfs, use CGI" isn't what he said. His comments are quoted here: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/jan/25/peter-dinklage-disney-remake-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs. He thought the entire story was "backwards" because it was about "seven dwarves living in the cave." It's not that he thought using CGI would change that. Some dwarf actors agree with him(https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jan/27/peter-dinklage-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs-disablist-representation-disney), some don't, so I'm not going to say if he's right or wrong, but this thread hasn't represented his position accurately.[/quote]
