They have since admitted that the pictures are from the studio but are "not official". So, for your amusement, the latest edition of Clown World. YAY!
In the midst of the Budweiser boondoggle and Target missing the mark, Disney's self-destruction wins the Clown World award for July, 2023.
Then
We all remember the charming story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.... a true Disney classic.
I should point out that the story is ancient, passed on orally for generations and finally put to print by the Brothers Grimm over 200 years ago. The Disney classic follows the theme of the original tale.
You may wonder... Why Dwarfs?? Well, it would be very difficult to portray Snow White as sweet, innocent, joyful and virtuous if she was shacking up with seven sailors. A band of doting dwarfs allows us to admire her purity.
NOW
The Disney remake is truly worthy of Clown World. It features Snow POC (Person of Color) because white is deplorable, and seven diverse, shaggy, badly attired meth-heads.... referred to as the "Seven Magical Creatures".
Personally, I cannot convince myself that Snow POC is sweet, innocent or virtuous living with this motley crew. Perhaps the remake will dispense with the politically offensive kiss from a Prince and have a magical excursion to Planned Parenthood instead.
As icing on the clown cake, the Disney spokesperson stated that the company did not want to reinforce negative stereotypes of [dwarfs].... and "[W]e are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community."
What ever happened to childhood innocence?
