Part 5/7:
In a move indicative of internal concern, Disney’s leadership, including CEO Bob Iger, has largely avoided discussing Snow White. During recent earnings calls and media appearances, the remake was conspicuously absent from the company’s upcoming release schedule, fueling speculation that Disney is trying to quietly bury the project rather than confront its mounting problems.
This retreat signifies a recognition of the disaster brewing around the film. Disney appears hesitant to associate their brand with the ongoing controversy, especially after the star’s public attacks and the backlash from conservative fans who feel alienated by the actress’s outspoken activism.
