The following day, Disney responded to Dinklage’s comments via a statement issued to The Hollywood Reporter.
What the f*ck are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.” You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f*cking backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. “Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. “Literally no offense 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,” Dinklage said to the host.
24 appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage - who lives with a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia - criticized the corporation for continuously retelling a story with outdated and offensive portrayals of little people. Earlier this year, the Disney company revealed West Side Story actor Rachel Zegler will portray the princess in a forthcoming live-action remake directed by Marc Webb. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs wasn’t created by Walt Disney, but his 1937 animated production of the Grimm Brothers’ iconic fairytale certainly popularized the story - and gave each of its fantastical dwarf characters their memorable names: Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey.
