**Disney Faces Fallout Over 'Snow White' Opening as Conservatives Critique Woke Agenda**
In a stark reminder of the current cultural war, Disney's latest live-action adaptation of "Snow White" has fallen significantly short of expectations at the box office, mirroring the failure of the company's recent attempts to push a progressive narrative.
Opening to a disappointing $48 million over its first weekend, Disney’s "Snow White" appears to be more of a misfire than a revival of a beloved classic. Despite an extravagant budget exceeding $250 million, including marketing costs, the film's critical reception raises troubling questions about the direction the company has chosen under the influence of a hyper-progressive agenda.
Critics have lambasted the movie for deviating too far from the original storyline. They argue that it pushes a narrative of "equity" while underwhelming audiences with its portrayal of characters and an over-reliance on computer-generated imagery. Even the audience reaction seems tepid, reflected in a lackluster CinemaScore of B+—the first Disney remake to score below an A-.
Rachel Zegler, the film's lead, has been at the center of controversy, igniting backlash with her derogatory comments about the original animated feature and the audiences that cherish it. Instead of embracing the classic’s charm, her portrayal has been criticized as a departure from the qualities that made "Snow White" an enduring masterpiece.
In a cultural landscape where Disney tries to appease vocal minority groups instead of honoring its traditional storytelling roots, many are left wondering how long the audience will tolerate the disconnect. The conservative critique is clear: when entertainment choices lean heavily into political correctness to the detriment of storytelling, they risk alienating their core audience.
This debacle may also serve as a wake-up call for Disney executives, highlighting the need to shift away from their current trajectory of "woke" ideologies that seem to neglect the very fans who made them a cultural titan in the first place.
While conservative audiences have stood firmly against such cultural narratives, continued weak performance at the box office may finally prompt a reassessment of Disney’s approach. The enterprise, once a symbol of family-friendliness and tradition, now faces the harsh reality that going "woke" could indeed lead to going "broke."
With Disney's attempts at modernization failing to resonate, it’s evident that audiences are craving authenticity over political narratives. The challenge remains for the company to rectify this course and reconnect with its audience—a task of monumental proportions, given the current industry climate and its response to woke culture.
