This has been a hot topic in my household for days! Frankly I'm tired of hearing about it. It breaks my heart to see what is happening in society today!

It breaks my heart also. Why do people have to hate so much that they say they take offense to everything. They want total control. When we see stuff we don't like, then we should just more on and let the other people be. It's the way we've lived for almost 250 years now and now people want to change our Country so much they will do absolutely anything... even change classic children's stories.

I know what you mean. There is a lot of hate out there to destroy children's stories.

IMHO Disney missed the boat in this one.
Dinklge's criticism wasn't entirely off the mark. But the remedy is not changing "dwarves" to "magical creatures" it is updating the dwarves.
This could have been a great way to get little person representation. And update them with real jobs. Show them as being fully able real people with real abilities and real feelings etc.
Instead of 7 dudes living together mining, it could have been 7 people who form a community to protect her. Maybe Happy calls his buddy Sneezy who drags along his sister Grumpy how calls in her professor, Doc. Etc. They band together to protect the heroine Not White (because Snow white obviously no longer fits) from a ruthless KKK / NeoNazi analog who is trying to destroy both little people and darker skin tones.
They could have gone completely woke and STILL kept close to the story line. And given little people representation, too.

I can understand what you’re saying. I believe we need yo let our fairy tails alone. If people want to make up new ones OK, don’t “cancel” the original ones. MHO
