The son of the director of the original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs movie is speaking out about the upcoming live action film.

While speaking to The Telegraph, David, who is 91 now, is calling the movie “insulting”.
“They change the stories, they change the thought processes of the characters, they just aren’t the original stories anymore. They’re making up new woke things and I’m just not into any of that,” he shared.
He added, “I find it quite frankly a bit insulting that they may have done with some of these classic films. There’s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did… I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves.”
David‘s comments come after Rachel was under fire about her previous interviews that promoted the movie.
In one of her past interviews, Rachel responded to a question about why they updated the storyline, saying that, “it’s not 1937 anymore.”
Snow White will open on March 22, 2024.
