Apparently the actress identifies as Hispanic and white. But I nevertheless agree that this is terrible casting, and than an many Asian actresses (Japanese, for instance) could have fit the fairy-talke description of Snow much better.

But also, literally no one is asking for these live action remakes. That's my biggest objection to any of them.

[(Anonymous)]

And they keep trying to fix what isn't broken, which just drags the whole thing down. I don't need my fairy tale movies to make perfect sense. I need my fairy tale movies to be bright colorful flights of fancy with fun musical numbers where the cast is clearly having fun.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, especially since "edgy" new interpretations of Snow White have been done before so it's not like they're doing anything new there.

[(Anonymous)]

That's why Cinderella is the only one that's worked for me

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yes, absolutely. They should juist stop with most of the LA remakes, especially if they turn out to be such uninspired messes.

[(Anonymous)]

I can’t believe they’re still churning these live action remakes out tbh. No one wanted them, they don’t perform well at the box office, and they don’t do anything to increase Disney Plus subscriptions. It’s very weird to me that they haven’t given up making these.

[(Anonymous)]

They do, however, extend IP protection.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, they can be exhibited in China without falling under the restrictions on imported animated films.

[(Anonymous)]

The remakes do perform well at the box office, aside from Mulan obviously.

[(Anonymous)]

And Dumbo.

AYRT I honestly had no idea. They’ve had several bomb and I was under the impression that’s the norm but I see now several raked in over the billion mark. I guess they’ll just keep making them forever then.

[(Anonymous)]

The ones that really confuse me are the ones like The Jungle Book, where pretty much everything but Mowgli was computer animation. I actually enjoyed that one (I wasn't tired of the whole idea yet) but I struggle to think of that one as "live action."

[(Anonymous)]

Anime is not a good indicator of normal Japanese skin color, FYI. Jdramas are closer, if you pay attention to the minor characters and not just the leads, who tend to be cast in part because they're very light-skinned by normal standards.

da

I keep hearing people assert this on F!S and in fandom spaces in general, but I interacted with many Japanese college students, grad students, and teachers when I was in university, and all of them were on the really white side of the skin color spectrum. This was not at Ivy League schools or in especially large, fashionable cities. So I'm skeptical of this repeated assertion that "oh, most Japanese people do not really look like that". Tt seems like an attempt to assert that anyone who was born outside of western Europe, the US, or settler Australia is some shade of brown. Which might simplify "whiteness" discourse, but oversimplifies reality.

[(Anonymous)]

DA Yes, I lived in Japan and there's a ton of variation, but light skin is fashionable, so most people, especially women, tend to try to stay as white as possible. Especially younger generations in cities who are unlikely to have outdoor work of any kind, which self-selects for "college students" who you've met. But there really are dark-skinned Japanese people, curly-haired Japanese people, brown-haired Japanese people etc.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I'd certainly believe there's variation, and might keep that in mind for creative character redesigns in fanart. But foreigner's impressions that the Japanese can be very white is not a stereotype from anime. People can get exactly that same idea just from interacting with students and expats.

[(Anonymous)]

She doesn't "identify as." She *is* Hispanic and white. Her mother is Colombian; her father is Polish. Neither of those things disqualify her from playing either of the two most famous characters she's been cast as so far.
