The recent debate was ignited by Zegler’s comments regarding the film’s departure from the original story, particularly its romantic elements. She remarked that “it’s not 1937 anymore,” suggesting that the narrative will focus less on the classic love story and more on themes of friendship and inner beauty. Many fans have criticized this shift, arguing that it undermines the essence of the beloved tale. Zegler’s comments have intensified scrutiny, especially after the announcement that the iconic dwarf characters would be replaced by magical creatures. Although a recent photo hinted at a potential return of the dwarfs, fans remain skeptical about their portrayal.
