David Hand, 91, the son of one of the co-directors of 1937's animated Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, who was also named David Hand, slammed the new movie as lacking "respect" for the original.
"It's a whole different concept, and I just totally disagree with it. It's a disgrace that the live-action treatment is trying to do something new with something that was such a great success earlier. Their thoughts are just so radical now. They change the stories, they change the thought process of the characters. … They’re making up new woke things, and I’m just not into any of that. I find it quite frankly a bit insulting [what] they may have done with some of these classic films. … There’s no respect for what Disney did and what my dad did. … I think Walt and he would be turning in their graves.”
