Snow White

It’s time to whistle while we work, ladies and gentleman. And watch out for poison apples.
The first trailer for Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs dropped during this weekend’s big D23 event and it has one huge problem. Or should I say . . . little problem? One huge little problem.
The film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White, Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman, Andrew Burnap as Jonathan (the prince, methinks) and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.
Now, before we watch the trailer I just want to point out that if I was a Magic Mirror and Gal Gadot asked me who the fairest one of all was, I would not hesitate to say “You, my queen.” But I digress.
Let’s watch:
Until now, all we’d seen of the film—which lands in theaters on March 21st, 2025—was a still image of Snow White and her dwarf buddies. At the time, I said I was glad that the dwarves were actually dwarves (earlier leaked images had people worried they would not be) but I wish they’d cast real people—little people, specifically—rather than have animated dwarves.
This trailer honestly makes me kind of angry. My opinions on this matter have sharpened since that image was released, especially with the new Time Bandits show on Apple TV, which erased little people entirely.

Apparently, in the current cultural moment, we are supposed to be so sensitive to prejudices against our concept of “dwarves” and “halflings” and what have you, that we no longer cast little people in our shows and movies. Of course, the dark irony here is that there are many little people actors who would love to get roles in movies like Snow White and shows like Time Bandits. Honestly, I’m still a little annoyed with Peter Jackson for not casting little people in the Hobbit roles in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (And, of course, the Very Diverse And Progressive Rings Of Power commits the same erasure with its Harfoots and Stoors, which are certainly a rainbow coalition, but include zero little people as actors—huzzah for progress!)
