The controversial film comes just a month after Peter blasted Disney’s woke live-action Snow White (pictured) for ‘putting people out of work’ after the film replaced dwarf actors with CGI 

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.’
