  • The live-action version of the 1937 animated classic has been the focus of controversy, as the film's Saturday premiere will not include journalists on the red carpet.

The article from Yahoo Entertainment discusses the controversy surrounding Disney's upcoming live-action adaptation of "Snow White." Actor Peter Dinklage, known for his role in "Game of Thrones," criticized Disney for casting a Latina actress, Rachel Zegler, as Snow White while still adhering to the original story's problematic elements, particularly the portrayal of dwarfs. Dinklage, who has dwarfism, expressed his frustration over the lack of progress in Hollywood's representation of people with dwarfism, pointing out the irony of promoting diversity in casting while perpetuating outdated stereotypes.
