Part 2/12:
The conversation opens with an unabashed skepticism of Disney's strategy to transform animated classics into live-action films. The speaker expresses conviction that Hollywood's habit of "ruining" the originals is intentional, driven by a desire to evolve these stories into politically correct versions that align with modern, progressive agendas.
The latest example discussed is the upcoming Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a film that originally became a defining piece of animation history. The current portrayal features Rachel Zegler, known for her role in West Side Story, cast as Snow White. The speaker criticizes her enthusiasm, noting that her interviews reveal a focus on "magic" and "diversity" rather than the essence of the story.
