Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs

The 1937 Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs film by Disney is a classic watch for many youngsters. But the kiss scene (pictured) in the film has drawn 関心 in previous years over the message it sends to youngsters

The 1937 Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs film by Disney is a classic watch for many youngsters.

But the kiss scene in the film has drawn 関心 in previous years over the message it sends to youngsters.

Snow White was the first 十分な-length animated Disney feature, and remains one of the 10 highest 国内で 甚だしい／１２ダースing American films of all time, adjusted for インフレーション.

In the film, the evil Queen, jealous of Snow White's beauty, creates a 毒（薬）d apple that will put whoever eats it into the 'Sleeping Death'.

The feminist academic went as far as to say that the stories of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty '促進する 性の 暴力／激しさ'.

'When you think rationally about 'Snow White' and 'Sleeping Beauty,' that tell of a 'princess 存在 woken up by the kiss of a prince,' they are 述べるing 性の 強襲，強姦 on an unconscious person,' she tweeted.

どこかよそで, the 傾向 of dwarfs in the film has been criticised after the live-活動／戦闘 remake considered featuring such characters.??

Game of 王位s actor Peter Dinklage went on a 猛烈な／残忍な tirade against Disney over the 近づいている film in January 2022.

'Literally no offence to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White - but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' Peter, who has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia, which 影響する／感情s bone growth, said.

'Take a step 支援する and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me.?You’re 進歩／革新的な in one way and you’re still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a 洞穴 together, what the f*** are you doing man?'

に引き続いて the 批評, the company 発表するd that the film would not feature dwarfs anymore.

In a 声明, Disney said it had been '協議するing with members of the dwarfism community' throughout the 早期に 行う／開催する／段階s of 生産／産物, and had 最終的に decided to take 'a different approach' to the seven dwarfs that appeared in the 初めの movie 'to 避ける 増強するing stereotypes.'

It 追加するd that Snow White's seven companions would instead be 描写するd as 'magical creatures,' but didn't give any more 詳細（に述べる）s about what that meant.

Disney's 決定／判定勝ち（する） to take out the dwarfs had a mixed reaction online - and some 星／主役にするs with dwarfism pointed out that the change robbed the community of work.

Disney's?1959?Sleeping Beauty?tells the tale of a Princess who is 悪口を言う／悪態d by a jealous witch and 落ちるs into a 深い sleep when pricking her finger on a spindle. She can only be saved from her slumber by true love's kiss.

But the tale has 誘発するd 論争 in 最近の years, with some テレビ視聴者s taking 問題／発行する with the princess not 同意ing to the kissed before it happened.

'It's about 説 is this still 関連した, is it appropriate? In today's society, it isn't appropriate - my son is only six, he 吸収するs everything he sees, and it isn't as if I can turn it into a 建設的な conversation.'

But にもかかわらず her strong opinions on the fairytales, she doesn't think they should be 除去するd from bookshelves 完全に.

'I don't think taking Sleeping Beauty 調書をとる／予約するs out of 循環／発行部数 完全に would be 権利. I 現実に think it would be a 広大な／多数の／重要な 資源 for older children, you could have a conversation around it, you could talk about 同意, and how the Princess might feel.

'But I'm really 関心d about it for younger children, would really welcome a conversat イオン about whether this is suitable 構成要素,' she 結論するd.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST?

'She has 非，不，無 of the characterist ics of someone with Stockholm Syndrome because she keeps her independence, she keeps that freedom of thought.'

She points to scenes in which Belle 辞退するs to 落ちる in line with the Beast's 需要・要求するs, like when she won't come 負かす／撃墜する for dinner.?

Linda Woolverton, who wrote the 初めの animated film's screenplay, said in a 2016 interview with IGN: 'There's been a lot of talk about Stockholm syndrome, that [Belle] fell in love with her captor.

'But I 同意しない! She was 逮捕（する）d, but she transformed him.?She didn't become, you know, an 反対する.?She didn't turn into a beast!
