Dwarf actors fire back after Peter Dinklage gets dwarves canceled in new ‘Snow White’ movie

Blaze: Dwarf actors are speaking out against fellow actor Peter Dinklage and the criticisms that Dinklage lodged at Disney over a forthcoming remake of “Snow White.”

Dinklage made headlines last week after condemning Disney over its “f***ing backwards” plan to remake the iconic film “Snow White,” which was first released in 1937 as an animated feature.

Dinklage, who made more than $1 million per episode as a lead actor in “Game of Thrones,” said in part:

There’s a lot of hypocrisy going on. literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White — but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together? What the f*** are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.

Disney responded to Dinklage’s criticism by saying producers would take a “different approach” to the seven dwarf characters in the upcoming film.

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community,” a Disney spokesperson told the Hollywood Reporter. “We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period.” more here

  1. “Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

    …no, you’re plenty loud enough, it’s just that the volume makes it very obvious that you’re stupid as well…

  2. I worked with a literal dwarf for years in and just out of high school. It’s no different from working with anyone else except he needs a stool and if you want two fingers of whisky, you want to ask someone with larger hands…

  3. “Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

    …sorry, is someone speaking? I don’t see anyone, stand up, fellow, you need to be head and shoulders above the crowd…

  4. “Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

    …doesn’t look like a guy who’s super familiar with soap, so the “box” he’s standing on is probably the little cardboard one you open to get the individual bar of soap out, and yet he can’t figure out why it doesn’t help people notice him…

    …the obvious oxymoronic cognitive dissonance THERE might be a good kickoff for another thread, just sayin’…

  6. The Dwarves are the heroes!
    He doesn’t want hero dwarves?
    He really thinks who he is.
    He’ll kill future jobs for little people.
    He’s rich so it’s all cool for him.

  7. He’s been my hero forever (Grumpy not Dinklage). Ten years my senior 37′

    I have over two dozen “Grumpy” T-shirts. The daughter says they don’t make happy in my size.

    Some hand painted by her… Do I now have to throw away all these garments?

    Maybe I should go get my first Tat… The Grinch with his arms around Grumpy on one side and Oscar the Grouch on the other…

    Hey SNS, check your e-mail…

  8. So do you think Dinklage….woulda been cancelling out….The Dwarfs….if he wasn’t one of the rich elites….????

    Do you think Dinklage would be one of the elites….if he wasn’t rich….????

  9. I guess even little people aren’t immune from the “I got mine, and I’m gonna make sure you don’t get yours” elitist bullshit. Dinklage is an asshole for screwing these guys over. It’s not like they’ve got a ton of career options in the manual labor fields.

  10. Peter lost his fucking mind. He’s a midget who made it big in the bullshit industry. Why can’t people just say, “Thank you” and move on? If it wasn’t for the film industry he’d be working at the Miata plant, or working at Eustace’s Used Japanese Cars taking alternators out of cars full grown men can fit their hands into. Or fucking taking sparking plugs out of Chrysler mommy-vans for fucking 12 dollars an hour.

    To hell with this retarded mofo.
