Disney's woke Snow White is slapped with trigger warnings about a 'woman deliberately poisoned' and 'girl surrounded by ominous trees'


The two hundred-million-pound movie has been plagued by controversy from replacing dwarf actors with CGI and its lead star panning the original Disney cartoon for its 'sexist' romance plot.

The British Board of Film Classification has slapped a hefty list of disclaimers on the live-action Disney remake starring Rachel Zegler, 23, as Snow White and Gal Gadot, 39, as the Wicked Witch. The new movie musical Wicked, adapted from the popular stage show starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, was hit with a similar level of trigger warnings including discrimination against a ‘green-skinned woman’ and persecuted ‘talking animals’. At the screening Ms Zegler, who starred in the 2021 remake of West Side Story, briefly addressed the backlash around the film, which has been branded 'woke' for adapting the original storyline of Disney's first feature-length movie, released in 1937.
