Disney Responds After Peter Dinklage Blasts ‘F–ing Backwards’ Snow White Remake

“What the f— are you doing man?”

Disney responded to Dinklage’s criticism in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” said the Mouse House.

“We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period.”

Peter Dinklage has slammed the upcoming remake of Snow White.

As both men discussed wokeism in comedy, the Game of Thrones star insisted “There’s a lot of hypocrisy going on I gotta say, from somebody who’s a little bit unique,” before taking aim at the latest live-action adaptation, which will see Rachel Zegler take on the lead role.
