Disney’s latest live-action remake of one of heir iconic princess films, Snow White, has created a disproportionate controversy relative to how good/important the movie actually is. At the end of the day, it’s a princess movie made for little girls, yet there seem to be a lot of adult men who are mad about it.
During a recent episode of his Monday Morning Podcast, the famously out-spoken Bill Burr discussed the controversy surrounding Snow White, which industry plants are trying to pin on star Rachel Zegler.
Zegler’s involvement in Snow White has been controversial from the start, with the aforementioned emotional adult men raging against the fact that a Latina actress in the role of the Disney princess. Zegler’s comments about the original Snow White plot also triggered those same people.
“I’ll tell you one of my favorite things, is how each side thinks the other side is dumb and then each side thinks the other side’s a bunch of babies. Specifically, the right thinks that liberals are a bunch of f—— snowflakes, whiny entitled assholes, which, I mean, come on, that’s pretty f—— true, right? But, like, for conservative people to act like they’re not the biggest f—— babies also is f—— hilarious,” Burr said.
“Have you seen this f—— — my people, whitey — we’re all f—— upset. There’s enough of us to get it going trending anyway. We’re upset about the new Cinderella movie. ‘The actress playing Cinderella isn’t White. There’s no prince. They changed the story. What am I going to tell my kids?’ The shit that my people get upset about. ‘What am I going to tell my kids?’ Well, f—— talk around it the way you talk around the real history of this country… You can talk around f—— genocide and slavery. I think you could talk around a stupid f—— movie about some broad who didn’t exist,” he continued.
“You can’t do that? Go take her to go see f—— Pinocchio! ‘I don’t like Pinocchio because that f—— wooden puppet transitions into a real boy! First of all, I don’t like trans people and God only makes real boys, not some immigrant named Geppetto! What am I supposed to tell my kids?’”

In addition to Zegler, her co-star Gal Gadot has also been a source of controversy for the film, given her perceived shortcomings as an actress and her Israeli heritage.
Disney certainly seems like its taking a bath on Snow White, as the film not only bombed at the box office, making about $150M worldwide against a reporter $250M+ budget, but it’s also led to the decision to pause development on a live-action Tangled film.
