Snow White Actress Calls Out Her Own Movie's Promotion For Fat Shaming

“Red Shoes and the 7 Dwarfs” was supposed to be a positive parody of the Disney classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” but the film is being accused of fat-shaming and misogyny after promos were released.

Even the actress who voices Snow White says she’s “appalled.”

The movie, said to be about a “Princess who doesn’t fit into the celebrity world of princesses — or their dress size,” has yet to be released.

But an ad for the film showed up at the Cannes Film Festival last month.

It shows an animated Snow White standing thin and tall, next to the shorter and heavier version of herself. The billboard reads, “What if Snow White was no longer beautiful and the 7 Dwarfs not so short?”

Cant be the way that you draw up the ole marketing campaign on a remake of a classic movie like Snow White. You dont want your star actress shitting on the campaign saying that it’s fat shaming.

Not to mention the fact that the advertisements are flat out wrong. I don’t mind that the new Snow White is draggin a wagon (talkin butts, folks). I think she looks downright adorable. I’ll tell ya what; I’d prefer that she’s treated more fairly by the Evil Queen. Seeing Snow White enter that fructose-induced coma is difficult for everyone. I know that you and I both hope that Snow White doesn’t fall into that dastardly trap again. Furthermore, can we get Grumpy some help? My dude is mad all the time. Maybe he has a chemical imbalance. I’d love to see him shine like the sun. Riding high on a wave of natural endorphins. That’d be something. Maybe Doc could hook him up. I know what you are thinking:

“Easy, Chaps. Not all mental health issues can be resolved by taking a pill. Sometimes years of counseling are needed to combat the deep-seated issues.”

I know. I know. I’m just saying. Medication might be worth a try with counseling as part of the plan as well. I’m just worried about Grumpy. He deserves happiness, too.

That being said, there’s so much more to be worried about from the new Snow White than if she’s a little thicc. What about a version where Snow White is a strong independent woman who don’t need no man? Requiring a kiss to wake up from a spell is trite as hell, no disrespect to the Beast. Don’t fucking kiss me when I’m sleeping, you handsome asshole. I don’t want your breath all up on me. Ask me politely if I wanna go on a dinner date. I might say yes. I might say no. I might say:

And that’s my prerogative because I’m Snow Fucking White.
