He even voiced some of the characters and brought them to life during the storyboarding sessions. He even won a special Oscar for this film. It's what put his studio on the map and allowed Disney to become a major studio and allowed animation to be taken seriously as a film medium and an art form. Without snow white, Disney would not exist. I feel like Walt Disney would be rolling in his grave to see what his company and this movie has become

They could certainly do a better job than the cartoon of differentiating the characters without reducing most of them to single defining traits, but that's an argument for better character writing and pacing the story to make each dwarf an individual.

Disney had the chance to give 7 actors with dwarfism the role of their lifetime, but instead decided to take the soul out of one more classic and give the role to a bunch of people who have nothing to do with the story or culture. Truly inclusive.

[@theshiftybloke4672]

It's evident why they did this - Inclusion for roles doesn't make everything all rosy and good. As an example, say a character who was black in history was played by a white person, that's bad, but vice versa it's the other way around. But then, you give the role to a character of an average height to a person with dwarfism (which I still think is fine) - but you then have to do the opposite and give people of average height the roles of "dwarfs".. Summary: If a black person can play a white person and a white person can play a black person and a dwarf can play a tall person, then a tall person can play a dwarf and that's why that yes, acting shouldn't be about your size (as it is acting and whomever is best at the role should be suitable for it) but it's a hard reality. Case in point, The Wonka film with people that have dwarfism being offended that Hugh Grant played an Umpa Lumpa.

[@poczujZbyszka]

But why they would set midgets as dwarfs? Dwarfs are fictional race and they have nothing to do with midgets the only thing they have in common is their height look at the hobbit or world of warcraft these dwarfs dont look like midgets why maybe becouse they are not midgets Some people find word midget offensive so Im writing this to them why I use this word 1 idc about your feelings 2 this word describes you 3 how would you distinguish dwarf from midget 4 english is not my mother language and I heard this word when I saw a midget so for me midget is a midget and dwarf is dwarf your language sucks

I blame Peter Dinklage for this , at least in part. When this was still in production, he made some waves, saying that it was ?racist, ?sizist? to continue to do Snow White with Dwarf characters. Disney capitulated, and went woke, as they often do. There are now Dwarf actors saying yo Peter, why did you screw things up for us?

The dwarves in Snow White are never depicted as savage or stupid. They go mining for diamonds and gold, they’re shown as hard workers who watch out for one another and take in a woman who needs a home, welcoming her as one of their own. Plus, the dwarves in the folklore and the movie are magical creatures, not really human dwarves. And even if they were, making a live-action film would allow for real dwarves the chance to be cast in those roles. All Dinklage is doing is taking away the chance for others to shine bright like he has.

[@cy2027]

Peter Dinklage knew what he was doing. He was threatened by the idea of potential competitors in Hollywood. This film would've been an opportunity for a Dwarf to display some great character moments and create a name for themselves, potentially taking an already rare role and opportunity from him.

I'm a dwarf, and I'm not happy about this at all. I've commented on this situation a lot, I've known about it for awhile now, and the irritation just continues to grow. At first I was just angry at the fact that they were taking jobs from 7-14 little people, I say -14 people because they might have body doubles? I'm not aware if someone who is popular in Hollywood is aware of this but for regular little people, getting a job isn't that easy, most things in this world are built for the average person, which in the country where I live, the average height is 5'4" for a woman and 5'9"-5'10" I'm 4'0" and while there are ways to adapt, it's not that easy. Not only am I much shorter than people around me, I'm also slower and weaker, and the worst part is, it's much worse for other people with different types of dwarfism that makes working more difficult for them than mine does. I'm not trying to say that people can't do normal work, or make excuses, I'm just pointing out the reality of the situation, and a lot of people with dwarfism end up getting into or at least trying to get into the entertainment business and this is a huge reason why. Now you have it where once again 7-14 little people could have had jobs, could have gotten their foot in the door, but now? And what about that representation that everyone talks so much about? We could have had 7x the representation but instead we're getting 1? I hope that guy at least gets a significant role. If I wasn't like 7 years old when the GOT show came out I would have auditioned for the role of Tyrion and none of this would have ever happened! I'm jk about that, though being in that show would have been cool, I'm just so irritated and I don't have the maturity level to handle this amount of rage like a reasonable adult so making jokes of the situation is the best I can do. Edit: I just remembered another thing that irritates me, I find it a bit insulting that someone would think this is exploiting little people, like we don't have brains and can't make reasonable and logical choices for ourselves.

This!! I used too be liked to characters like Agatha from the School For Good and Evil books (who was described as bug eyed, pasty white and ill-looking) and Snow White. These characters shaped who I am today, and it makes me sad that they've now been changed in the name of 'inclusivity' - Agatha was made a coloured, traditionally pretty girl while, I mean, you can see 'Snow White' here. I'd love for there to be more movies and books for people of different backgrounds; as a writer I often make them and get friends opinions on how true to life they are; to make room for those who need those same characters to fall back on in their darkest moments. But that is exactly what I'm sure those people want too; MORE - not rehashed characters that aren't unique to themselves. Not characters made to profit off your hardships. Characters that actually represent who they are, and not characters clearly made for another time and to represent other people.

As I've just written in a comment to Matt Walsh's video: - Dwarves are present in Old Norse sagas since the 1200s, tales that were later taken up by Germanic folklore. They belong in European sagas such as the tales of Siegfried and Dietrich von Bern, where they have their own individual personality, both for good or for evil. Peter Dinklage disappointed me a lot: I wish he had used his star status to lobby for seven "real" dwarves, and for their history to be told as it is in European sagas, with all their dignity and culture and nuances. - PS: I forgot to tell Matt that this is appropriation of my European culture, and that it takes away jobs for actual little people. Peter himself, but also Meredith Eaton, Martin Klebba and my personal fave character actors, Lisa Hammond and Danny Woodburn, not to mention the legend Warwick Davis. We're already at 6... was it so difficult? Much love.

The seven dwarfs were a brilliant piece of story telling, representing multiple personality types and interests, many of which (or all) were easy for children to comprehend and attach to. So for 90yrs and 5 or 6 generations of movie goers, this is the joyful memory of the Brother Grimm fairytale. A princess badly treated and because of her good nature is permitted to survive the huntsman. She needs to change and grow as an individual spending time with her new friends, to be worthy of the dwarfs story retelling following her permanent sleep. The shows the prince her as a wonderful young woman and he wants to rescue her. Great storytelling, and modern Disney needs to f*** it up! Unbelievable. STOP giving Disney your money. They don't deserve it. No streaming, no theme parks, no movies.

you could not have put it best.

In most of the fantasy stories we are familiar with (Lord of the Rings etc.) the dwarfs are an entirely different species. They are not small humans. They are an entire people unto themselves with their own culture, language, and traditions. This also how it is in many games like Dungeons and Dragons and all the other games it inspired. Tolkien even started using the word dwarvish instead of dwarfish, so these people were called dwarves instead of dwarfs. This has become the standard usage in most fantasy fiction and games.

[@STOPLIKEBEGGARS101]

It stems from Norse mythology, many of the dwarf names Tolkien used comes from the Poetic Edda.

[@narnia1233]

Honestly I think it shows how Hollywood looks down on people who live in the country, or aka a rural setting. And people who are laborers. It’s the viewpoint of very stuffy city dwellers. 😅

[@narnia1233]

Which is another reason my favorite storytellers are C. S. Lewis and Tolkien. Because they were unquestionably brilliant men who were academically exceptional but both of them said that the place they most felt at home was in the countryside, in nature. And I know C. S. Lewis ended up purposely choosing to live in a more rural setting at the end of his life. They loved nature and “a simple life.” Obviously that’s featured in their famous stories too. The heroes in their stories quite literally and often were common folk and people who lived in rural settings too. But, I think for Hollywood today that’s unfathomable. They always want to portray rural people as unintelligent and as being forced to live there. Even in for instance the Rings of Power disaster. Remember how horrible and unkempt the hobbits were in ROP? And how the heroine hobbit-her whole thing was she wanted to leave, but people were holding her back, due to their “backwards ways.” As they imply. Whereas look at the hobbits in LOTRs. The hobbits in LOTRs have a great life, they’re not dirty and unkempt, and they don’t want to leave but are forced to. And on their whole journey they’re longing to go back home. Which I believe is something that many Hollywood people cannot understand or relate to.

There are various types of mythological people ranging from dwarves, gnomes, fairies, elves, giants, so it's not a slam dunk.

I haven't actually seen Snow White (though the visuals of dwarves seem akin to those of garden gnomes), so I don't know the mechanics of its story, but often characters of little stature are meant for small children to identify with (like r2d2).

@@windycityliz7711 Peter Dinklage was the one who initially complained to Disney about casting actual little people in the Snow White movie to portray the dwarves.

The Dwarves were miners and hence dwarves. Small people can fit through the mine shafts. This may have origin in Norse mythology as well where dwarves were the blacksmiths of the gods.

[@pinkpineapple7715]

The thing is, the dwarves in Snow White do not represent human beings with dwarfism but are supposed to be actual fairytale dwarves from the European mythology. It literally has nothing to do with Dinklage.

So my friend in undergrad went to a Catholic girls school in NJ, and Rachel went there. She just told me Rachel was a bully lololololol, and didn’t identify as being Colombian, rather more German since she has a German father. And as someone with Colombian parents, I just loveeeeeeee when people start claiming a culture they mostly rejected when it benefits them now 😂😂

The thing is, if they really want to avoid the stereotypical depiction, they could expand and added depth to all the dwarfs character. But they instead decide to reimagining only the looks and ended up making it more superficial than before

[@domdom3938]

I always much preferred the non-Disney live action versions of these fairytales anyway. The Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror Mirror were both live action Snow White movies I thoroughly enjoyed

[@roseblade2064]

100% agree on Mirror Mirror, plus they added more dimension with Snow by having her bond and fully join the Dwarves' lifestyle. She didn't sacrifice any of her core personality (still very feminine and kind) but she could hold her own

[@welcometothemovies9157]

You remind me of a Snow White that I saw in a Disney parade in Disney World. I am a lot older and would not look like the handsome prince. I was in my mid-twenties. She was waving to the crowd and as her float passed by me, she looked right at me a waved and had the prettiest smile. I waved back with a smile. This really made my day. You are very pretty and really do remind me of her. The years are all wrong anyway. You are pretty but it is Disney who turned ugly.

[@presto709]

Disney should have hired little people but updated the script to show that they are not stereotypes. Snow White could have started to give them each the names, Happy, Sleepy, etc, and one of the Dwarves stops her and says "Hey lady we already have names, I'm Fred, he's Tony, etc.

[@-404notfound-74]

Warwick Davis made a great point where he basically said he didn't mind taking roles of dwarves and things because he chose to do it but it does at times feel exploitative when people are made to be a spectacle just because they are different.

[@JarethTheGoblinKingForever]

Depends on how you define "spectacle". If the audience is watching the film and appreciating the actors, or laughing with them instead of at them, then it's not really disrespectful. And of course we all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I know an autistic comedian for instance whose shtick is mostly jokes about his autism. But he's choosing to tell the jokes, coming up with the jokes and actively seeking an audience. He's not being dragged out and mocked against his will or anything. In the past, a lot of little persons were shunned or mocked in most careers and had to turn to places like freak shows and cheap movies just to survive. Nowadays you see little persons in all walks of life and in numerous different careers, but some still choose media and hope to act because they enjoy acting.

[@briannarodriguez9719]

Warwick Davis is awesome! He loved what he does and always considered the job the last thing he does

[@Osprey850]

I find it amazing that Disney thinks that using people with dwarfism to play dwarves is "reinforcing stereotypes." How is it a stereotype to use actors who best match the physical characteristics of the characters? What's next, not using child actors to play child characters because that would just reinforce a stereotype?

[@ejwillison2001]

So using a straight/able bodied person to play a gay, queer or disabled person is oppression, but getting someone with the affliction of the role (a paraplegic for a paraplegic, a dwarf for a dwarf, an enby for an enby, etc) is “reinforcing negative stereotypes”, but not having those roles is erasure and oppression? How the fuck do we win?!?!

[@aischa3319]

I remember... when I was a kid. It did not matter if the character was black, white... nor if it was a fox or a horse or even a teapot. Cause the reason we saw these characters as us, was not cause of what they looked like, but what was inside. You cannot tell me you've never felt a sense of not belonging, like Todd (Fox and the hound). You cannot tell me you've never felt as playful as Chip (Beauty and the beast). It did not matter. No one cared how a character looked, the magic was to be able to empathize and see yourself feeling the same emotions as your favorite character, no matter what they were.

[@user-te4jc8vg7i]

[@aischa3319]

@@user-te4jc8vg7i There is currently a lot of pressure on skin color at the moment. Besides, if they have seen the original animated version they may simply not recognize the character as clearely design is a lot, especially when it's accompanied by many bright colors. The animated one has bright colors, while the live action is far duller. That's just a fact that kids enjoy bright colors more (NOT talking about the skin, litterally something as simple as the hair for example). The red corals, colorful fish, even Flounder
