Peter Dinklage Slammed Disney's "Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" Live-Action Remake And Called It A "Backward Story"

"There's a lot of hypocrisy going on," he said in a conversation on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. "Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White. But you're still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you're doing there. It makes no sense to me."

"Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox?" he continued. "I guess I'm not loud enough. I don't know which studio that is, but they were so proud of it. All love and respect to the actress and to the people who thought they were doing the right thing. But I'm just like, What are you doing?"

"I'm not an actor to change the world in terms of how somebody my size is presented. I'm really not," he said in a 2019 interview with the New Yorker. "That would be putting me before the work. It's just bad writing to make that the dominant character trait. It's not my dominant character trait. It has to be part of a complex portrait that informs other pieces of your personality."

"There is so much that I cannot share with you that will actually answer this question," she said when asked what attracted her to the role of the Evil Queen. "But the take on this story is so different and delightful and full of joy. … I'm very, very excited. I wish I could share more."

"There's not much I can say about it besides the fact that Snow White has constantly been criticized," she told BuzzFeed in an interview last year. "Even though she's the original Disney princess and we love her so much, [she's been] criticized for existing solely for a prince, existing solely to be rescued.

"I think that our director, Marc Webb, and everyone who's working on this film has really taken her narrative and turned it into something that's a lot stronger," she said. "I'm very, very excited to be able to bring that to life."
