Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has come in for a fair amount of backlash, mainly due to comments made by its lead actress, Rachel Zegler.

The main criticisms seem to stem from the Shazam! Fury of the Gods star admitting that she wasn't a big fan of the original animated movie as a kid (because it scared her), and only watched it all the way through recently. Zegler also pointed out that some aspects of the animated classic haven't really aged very well, noting that certain plot points - including the "stalker Prince" - have been updated for a modern audience.

Now, almost certainly as a response, Conservative media company The Daily Wire has announced that it's developing a live-action Snow White movie of its own.

Titled Snow White and the Evil Queen, the movie stars conservative YouTuber Brett Cooper (Heathers) as the titular princess in a project that's being marketed as a more faithful take on the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale, which is now in the public domain.

“It’s a story about a princess and a prince, about beauty and vanity, about love and its power to raise us from death to life,” said Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing. “It’s our own adaptation of an ancient fairy tale. It’s taken 100 years to build Disney. We know we aren’t what Disney is today, but we hope in time we might become what they were, once upon a time: a little studio with big ideas and the courage to chase them. While Disney still uses Walt’s name, they have all but abandoned his legacy.”

Boreing made the announcement as part of the Bentkey launch, Daily Wire’s new children' entertainment brand that was created as a conservative alternative to the Disney+ streaming service.

“I was raised on the original Grimms’ Fairy Tales, so I’m thrilled that we’re bringing this iconic story to life for the next generation!” Cooper added. “Snow White is such a beautiful character, and I’m honored to be playing her. Like all the best fairy tales, this is a story with timeless values, like love, friendship, and kindness, and I can’t wait to share them.”

Check out the teaser, which features a first glimpse of Cooper as Snow White, below.

The Daily Wire says Bentkey will be available at launch with 150 episodes of 18 shows, including four Bentkey originals. New episodes are due to arrive every Saturday morning.

Snow White and the Evil Queen does not have a release date.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've seen too many painfully bland Disney live action remakes to ever want to see another, and I never really cared for the Snow White fairy tale enough to be excited about *anyone's* movie version.

But I guess I'll say the same for a right-leaning production company as I say for a left-leaning one: if they tell a good story and keep the political preaching to a minimum, more power to 'um and I hope the people who want to see this flick enjoy it.

Although I'll say this: I hope they cast people with dwarfism as the seven dwarves. There's precious few jobs in Hollywood for disabled actors, and it's tough seeing able-bodied people win award after award for disabled roles when our actors can barely get cast in anything. Frak, I can't even look up the name of the kid from Speechless without getting a song from the live-action Aladdin as the first few results, and he was fantastic.
