So you're saying that a POC could have played the role even if the character is called SnowWhite since her skin is white as snow? I'm super excited for halle as ariel, but this is a bit... forced?

Galvon 1,857 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Okay, I've got a lot of opinions already. She looks a bit old for the part, but maybe this just isn't the best picture. She looks elegant tho, she could look great with the the 30's hair Snow White had in the animated movie, if they wanted to do that again. But tbh I don't think she looks like Snow White. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations or Disney was not caring about her look or they had a different vission. Of course we don't know what direction Disney is going with this remake, it probably makes sense when we see official photo's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let people here manipulate you for simply saying what's on almost everyone's mind, especially given the character's name. People aren't necessarily against this but they're just not used to it.

The setting and the story in Princess and the Frog makes obivious sense for a POC casting choise. Doing otherwise is wrong. The same goes for Snow White. Skin white as snow... I don't see how a POC casting could make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said don't let people here manipulate your words into making you a racist. Explain yourself and stand by what you say. People are just a bit not used to that as much as they would be if Paulina Rubio, a Mexican blonde, was cast for the role of Oprah Winfrey. A biopic produced by Disney ofc.
