AceShowbiz - Disney's new live-action adaptation of "Snow White" is navigating turbulent waters even before its official release. The film, featuring Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, has faced significant backlash over its perceived "woke" themes and revisions to the original story, leading to the studio to hold low-key promotional events.

Actor Martin Klebba, who voices Grumpy in the film, expressed his disappointment with Disney's decision to scale back the premiere, originally planned to be a grand Hollywood event.

Klebba told The Post, "I'm not disappointed in Disney. I'm disappointed in the world." He emphasized the hard work that went into the film, lamenting societal changes that necessitate cautious approaches to premieres.

Several factors contributed to Disney's decision. Rachel Zegler, who has openly shared her progressive political views, drew ire for her critical comments on the original 1937 animated "Snow White", criticizing its romantic themes.

Additionally, rumors of tension between Zegler and Gadot have been swirling on the internet. It's no secret that the two actresses clashed over their views on Gaza conflict, and this was confounded by their onscreen roles.

Israeli activists are especially not happy with Disney for having Israeli star portray the evil force while Rachel Zegler who supports "Free Palestine" represent the good side.

The film also faced scrutiny for its handling of the iconic Seven Dwarfs, facing criticism from Peter Dinklage for allegedly perpetuating stereotypes.

Disney's revamped screening strategy involves relocating the premiere to Segovia, Spain, away from the media frenzy. Advance ticket sales only started two weeks before the film's release, a stark contrast to the earlier marketing practices for Disney's big-budget films.
