David Hand, the son of the animator who helmed the original “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” has condemned the studio’s updated remake of the classic animated film starring Rachel Zegler.
Hand, 91, whose father was also named David Hand, characterized the upcoming remake as “insulting,” citing concerns about its “woke” approach.
“They change the stories, they change the thought processes of the characters, they just aren’t the original stories anymore. They’re making up new woke things and I’m just not into any of that,” Hand told the Telegraph in an interview.
Hand, who worked at Disney as a designer in the 1990s added: “I find it quite frankly a bit insulting that they may have done with some of these classic films.
