Peter Andre has blasted Disney’s woke live-action Snow White for ‘putting people out of work’ after the film replaced dwarf actors with CGI.

The singer, 52, waded into the ongoing drama in his latest New magazine column, insisting: ‘I think it’s important to leave classic films as they were’.

The $270million remake of the 1937 classic will debut on Friday but has been beset by multiple controversies including reimagining the Seven Dwarfs as a diverse group of ‘magical creatures’ of all heights, gender and race.

Back in 2023, the film was delayed for a major overhaul after negative reception to the film having seven ‘magical (non-dwarf) creatures.’ 

Instead, the seven dwarves were replaced through the use of CGI.

Peter wrote: ‘Disney has been involved in a bit of controversy over its new version of Snow White for things like using CGI for the ‘magical creatures’ instead of the original seven dwarfs.

‘It’s important to remember that the original stories and films were very much of their time and, yes, there are definitely things that don’t sit comfortably with today’s audiences. 

‘I think it’s important to leave classic films as they were. New films can be as diverse as ever, but recreating classics and putting actors out of working for CGI is not the solution.’

It was also revealed that Disney has ‘zero faith’ in the upcoming film and that the movie bosses simply want to get the movie’s limited promo ‘over with,’ per The Hollywood Reporter.

A source said, ‘An advance sales cycle of less than two weeks just screams, “We have zero faith in this thing.” And it couldn’t come at a worse point, when the industry is just trying to limp along to May.’

However, insiders for Disney expressed that they, ‘always intended to hold back the film’s big promotional push until the final few weeks, beginning when lead actress Rachel Zegler and Gadot presented together at the Oscars on March 2.’

Last week, Rachel made an appearance at a secret premiere for Snow White which was held at a remote castle in Segovia – a city located north west of Madrid.

The lowkey European event had 100 VIP guests in attendance which included families and content creators.

Rachel had the chance to sing Waiting On A Wish for the crowd – but was not joined by any of her other Snow White castmates, such as Gal Gadot.

Sources recently informed Page Six that Disney ‘doesn’t know what to do’ with ‘out of control’ Zegler.

‘Disney’s lead actress is out of control. They don’t know what to do,’ an insider told the outlet.

‘She’s an outspoken 20-something and Disney chiefs have called her directly and asked her to tone down her posts. They’ve called her management, but she won’t listen.

The insider added, ‘It’s been this way the entire way through filming. But it’s the tying of her politics to Snow White that is upsetting.’

The source continued, ‘Right now, it is way too late to shelve the film. As much as people think that her recent comments and controversies will hurt the film, it is not likely the case.

‘If anything, it generates more publicity and attention to the film, which leads to increased ticket sales. The film is Snow White, and it could really sell with anyone in the lead.’

While talking to Vogue Mexico, Rachel opened up about the backlash that Snow White has received.

‘I interpret peoples’ feelings about this film as a pᴀssion for it. What an honor to be part of something that people feel so pᴀssionate about,’ she said, per a translation from Spanish.

The actress added, ‘We’re not always going to have the same feelings as everyone around us, and all we can do is give the best of ourselves.’

Rachel also told the outlet, ‘I understand that the community doesn’t want to be seen as a monolith, but the reality of being Latino and working in this industry is that we try to represent the entire diaspora.

‘I know where I have been, I represent it in my narrative and I carry it in my heart every day.’

In regards to the 1937 classic and the live-action remake, Rachel explained, ‘It’s very important for the public to know that Disney has found this beautiful and delicate balance between the animated classic that everyone knows and loves from 1937, and at the same time, introduces it to this new generation.’
