   Disney actress Rachel Zegler, a vocal left-wing activist, is singing a   
   different tune about the 1937 animated film “Snow White” amid backlash over   
   her past feminist complaints about the Disney classic — and after The Daily   
   Wire announced it is producing its own take on the timeless fairy tale.   
      
   During an interview for Variety with fellow Disney actress Halle Bailey,   
   Zegler gushed over the original “Snow White” as “a monumental moment in film   
   history.”   
      
   “The cartoon is so beloved — it’s like a monumental moment in film history.   
   It’s the first feature-length cartoon movie, to the point where it won   
   honorary Oscars, and all these amazing things that happened for that film are   
   the reason that you and I get to sit here today, because it made Disney what   
   it is,” Zegler told Bailey, who starred as Ariel in the live-action version   
   of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”   
      
   The actress went on to veer away from her past comment, saying she “loves   
   everything the Disney company has put out” since its inception.

   Before the Variety interview, Zegler claimed she had only watched the   
   original “Snow White” once as a kid and found it off-putting. “I think I   
   watched it once and never picked it up again. I’m being so serious,” she   
   said.   
      
   The 22-year-old also made clear in past interviews that the new “Snow White”   
   flick will not need a man or “true love.”   
      
   “It’s no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a ‘Snow White’ — she’s not   
   going to be saved by a prince! And she’s not gonna be dreaming about true   
   love,” Zegler said. “She’ll be dreaming about becoming a leader she knows she   
   can be.”   
      
   In another example, the actress quipped that Disney could cut out all of   
   Prince Charming’s scenes from the remake, emphasizing how apparently   
   unimportant he is to the story. And perhaps most notably, Zegler said Prince   
   Charming in the original fairy tale “stalks” Snow White.   
      
   “I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently   
   so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks   
   her. Weird! Weird,” the actress said.   
      
   Zegler’s newfound praise for “Snow White” comes on the heels of The Daily   
   Wire/Bentkey’s announcement of its own live-action take on the beloved tale,   
   titled “Snow White and the Evil Queen,” which is set to be released in 2024   
   and star actress and Daily Wire host Brett Cooper.   
      
   When Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing first announced the live-action   
   adaptation, he took aim at Disney for disavowing its classic animated   
   version. “Instead of telling stories about timeless truth, what the ancient   
   fairy tales were all about,” said Boreing. “Disney’s new ‘Snow White’ is an   
   apology for their past and will expose children to the popular but   
   destructive lies of the current moment.”   
      
   Disney has since pushed back its remake’s release date by a full year.   
   Following the revelation in October, Boreing said the actors’ strike in   
   Hollywood would be used as an excuse for the film’s delayed release, but   
   guessed Disney is likely scrambling to reshoot large parts of the film.   
      
   “My guess is the SAG strike excuse is just cover and that they are actually   
   reshooting large parts of the movie to make it a more faithful adaptation of   
   their own classic film,” Boreing posted to X, formerly Twitter. “Will be   
   interesting to see how Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot walk back their previous   
   denouncements and insistence that this movie will be different…”
