Red Shoes & The 7 Dwarfs Movie

By Megan Conard - June 02, 2017

Recently, a new movie was announced that is a parody. In a recent trailer (link here), the dwarfs watch snow white undress. This alone awful as it is a movie aimed towards kids and they have two guys watching her strip. That is misogynistic and completely unacceptable. Anyhow, as she undresses she takes off her shoes, which supposedly show who she is on the inside whom is supposed to be beautiful- aka thin. As she takes off her shoes, her true form is shown; which is heavier and short.

The tag line for this movie is "What if snow white were no longer beautiful,,," This implies that who she is on the inside is not good enough and that somehow being heavier and short is ugly. This is full on BODY SHAMING as we are socialized with the idea the fat = ugly even from a young age. This Disney classic is being put to shame.

The implications of this movie are absolutely disgusting and although the writers of the movie probably didn't intend for it to be viewed this way, it is just another example of how our society associates fat with ugly subconsciously. This is the reason so many people, specifically girls, struggle so much with self image and the reason that over 30 million people have an eating disorder. I can't begin to describe my disappointment with this movie and hope that they will pull the movie and will not release it.
