A HUGE no way from us. Disney. Ratings are horrible.
Appears to be a big money loser for Disney. When will they learn?

[Taltarzac725]

Probably not. Maybe when it comes out on VuDu.

[manaboutown]

It is a total miscarriage of the story so no way.

CNN) — Disney’s “Snow White,” a big-budget live-action retelling of the classic fairytale, opened to a sleepy $43 million at the domestic box office this weekend amid a slew of controversies.
Early industry estimates predicted “Snow White,” which cost around $270 million to make, would take in $48-$58 million in its first weekend.

When will Disney learn? Apparently not anytime soon.
Seems to be always pushing their narratives.
If we had family come into FL, we’d go to Universal rather than Disney. Just my opinion.

[MrFlorida]

No, not for us.

No.

[billethkid]

NO!

[JMintzer]

No plans to see the movie. From the reviews I've read, it's "Snow White" in name only... Almost nothing to do with the original story...

I remember looking at the pics and reading the story in the big rectangular Disney books when I was a little kid. They sat next to the Readers Digest books and Tom Swift novels on our book shelf. The witch picture with the mirror is still vivid to me this very day. I prefer to remember the story the way it was written in that format.

Dont understand the need to change a classic

TV wasn’t a big part of my life growing up, as was movie theaters. I may have in all my years gone to the theater less than 10 times. Just not a fan of sitting in a crowded room with strangers, for a few hours. So going to skip this one and probably the next 20 or so

[FredTheHead]

We took the grandkids to the movie. An 11 and 9 year old. They loved the movie. They had never seen the original that was made back in the 30s. The film is for children. I thought the movie was good. I read the controversy and it's silly old people talking about stuff that is dumb. Take a child to the movie and let them decide.

You are in luck! You can most likely watch this movie alone in most any theater.

What kind of parent hasn’t shown their children the original Classic movie?
What’s silly is NOT talking about it. As we now see, history is trying to repeat itself once again, and not in a good way. People forget what has transpired thru history. We are living thru a fine example of this right now.
Perhaps show your grandkids the original Classic movie then report back their expert opinions. That would be awesome!

The last time that sort of happened was for Barbie. That seemed more like a social event with the ladies dressing in pink and having fun.

Here is a novel thought...why not see the movie so that you can form your OWN opinion of it instead of accepting and internalizing the opinions of others?

[Cliff Fr]

I have to ask myself. Why was the movie even made?

[BumpaOompa]

I saw it and it was awesome. One of the best remakes I have ever seen. I didn’t realize I was supposed to research all the hate that might somehow be associated with it and then spew vitriol. I just did what I did as a kid and thought a movie would be nice to see today and I am glad I saw a good one.

Nice to see some wisdom on here. Ignore the voices who sow discord for their own profit, ego, or amusement. And go see a movie, TV show, book, sporting event, etc.

I took my 4 year old grandson on opening day. I loved the original also, but haven't seen it in years. We BOTH loved the remake of the movie. As I watch old movies, my current thoughts and feelings question the movie. Even though I loved the original, I want remakes to put more modern attitudes in place. Disney did a great job with this. For instance, in the remake, Snow White was a strong leader and thinker. She worked with others to resolve her conflict with the evil queen. I am anxious to rewatch the original and plan to with my grandson soon,

Topic of the thread “Are you planning on seeing Snow White”

Please keep to the topic or thread will be closed

[airstreamingypsy]

Of course I will watch it, but when it streams on the Disney channel. I don't go to movie theaters.

[coconutmama]

I have to ask myself. Why was the movie even made?

Why then was any remake ever made??

Yes I plan to see it. Amazing how they can mix animation with real life performers.

[maistocars]

They'll never learn.......

[Whatnext]

Not for me, but three of our friend kids all went and loved it.
I never watch remakes, prefer to remember movies as I saw them.
In fact not a fan of modern movies at all.

If I recall correctly, this was first done in 1965 with the movie "Mary Poppins."

[Stu from NYC]

Disney & other media companies know what they are doing. Movies like this aren't "oopsies" and the proof is there are 100s of similar in the last 20 years+-.

So it's not about learning. It's also not about money since they would make more money by producing "tradional" movies.

The reason Disney and the others do this is ideology. They hate you.

But I really like Mickey

The first version of Mickey is public domain. Eventually you won't need Disney.

[richdell]

Not planning on seeing it. Live-action remakes are generally not that good. :yuck:

[Drrichross]

These remakes are more about keeping copyright and Intellectual property. After so long disney loses copyright unless they release now movies under the original IP. They aren't really looking to make great money on films, just not to lose Snow White IP
