The Daily Beast reports:
A Daily Mail article featuring what the publication claimed were set photos from Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White sparked a storm of conservative backlash on Friday, surrounding the “politically correct” “dwarf actors” pictured. The only problem? The photos aren’t legit.
When asked by The Daily Beast for comment on the Daily Mail’s article, which touts photos of what it claims is Snow White’s cast, a Disney spokesperson said, “The photos are fake and not from our production. We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction.”
Never mind that the actress dressed in a Snow White costume in the Daily Mail’s photos is very clearly not Rachel Zegler, the West Side Story actress who stars as the titular princess. Moreover, Zegler said last year that Snow White had wrapped filming in July 2022.

Snow White is a 19th century German fairy tale. The name literally refers to the character’s skin color. This is what actual cultural appropriation looks like. Probably the most blatant case we’ve seen yet. https://t.co/erALE33kj0

New diverse Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs movie only has 1 dwarf and Snow White is Hispanic. Disney says they want to “avoid reinforcing stereotypes.”
Disney lost $900 million dollars on their last 8 releases.
Guess they’re not done losing $ yet… pic.twitter.com/xxJiWNVWGi

Meet the cast of Disney’s new woke Snow White film. Snow White is Columbian now and the 7 dwarves look more like the 6 normal sized hipster pedos and 1 dwarf from Portland. Snow White no longer has “skin white as snow”. Absolutely ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/DKZInYty89

So they have one little person playing a dwarf to be more “politically correct?” So 6 other little people didn’t get the job or the check and somehow this is more “sensitive?”
Disney is a joke. https://t.co/vcmqzLROoe
