Bill Maher, host of HBO's 'Real Time,' and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd have added their voices to the growing criticism of Disney's new live-action 'Snow White' film. Both figures, known for their liberal viewpoints, have expressed concerns about what they perceive as an overemphasis on wokeness in the movie's adaptation.
The primary point of contention revolves around the portrayal of the seven dwarfs. Maher and Dowd suggest that Disney's attempts to modernize the characters and avoid potential offense have gone too far. They argue that these changes may ultimately diminish the charm and appeal of the classic fairy tale. The movie has been controversial since set photos leaked last year and showed actors of different heights and genders playing the roles of the dwarfs. Disney has not commented on the criticism.
