Dinklage was wrong about his characterisation that Snow White portrayed the Drawfs as living in a cave. They lived in a lovely woodland cottage and worked as miners, digging diamonds from a cave. They were portrayed sympathetic and ultimately as hero’s in the film. Sure, defining them all by a single characteristic is arguably a bit problematic looking back but ultimately generations of children adore them.

I'm seeing it later this week because my daughter wants to? I disagree with Gal Gadot's politics and her acting is awful, but it won't be the worst movie I've seen with a kid.
Okay I'm back, and I've seen the movie. I liked it. It's not an all time classic or anything, but it's decent enough for a movie for kids. Godot was bad didn't sink the movie. Zegler was great, the new songs were good, and I liked Andrew Burnap. The ending was a little eye rolly, but it's a kid's movie. As the live action remakes go, it wasn't bad.

I will say the main actress has been getting a lot of bad press. Never heard of her before this movie but wow she is a fan of herself.
Did you see Steven Spielberg's remake of Westside Story? She was the lead actress, Maria. She was also Lucy Gray in the Hunger Games prequel. Considering how young she was in both movies, 17 and 22, respectively, she held her own.
I love her in both of those. A lot!
Hunger Games and the prequel and the upcoming book/movie are really special to me and my teen.
And I absolutely loved the West side story remake. She stayed for her HS musical and finished that out even though she was cast in a mega film.
I think she’s a nice person, and the media is filling their tabloid space with a pretty dumb narrative.

Because the cartoon hair was ugly.

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. F*** Peter Dinklage for browbeating them into not hiring real little people for those roles. Everyone lost with decision especially the quality of the final product.
Why would he do this? Doesn't he want people with dwarfism to get more roles?
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.
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.
