If the Grimm boys had wanted her to be common, they'd have made her a shoemaker or a prostitute or something.
They didn't create the story, they helped codify it by writing it down.
OK, but it was written down over 100 years before Disney, and I'm guessing she was most likely a princess before that.
I do think it's a shame that Disney didn't feature the evil queen donning red hot slippers and dancing until she dropped dead at the end of the movie. That's freaking inspiring leadership!

She was indeed, and it's integral to the story. Quite obviously she wasn't a princess "only because some guy somewhere in history" arbitrarily made her so.
Your overall point's valid, I'm just a nitpicking ass.

@LuFins-Dad LOL that is truth
Now that they are back to the dwarves (animated, where is the outrage from the midget community?), the movie looks extra animated... almost like they have real actors in a Roger Rabbit type of environment. The acting also looks broadway over-the-top, but who knows.......

"Dwarfs"
"Dwarves" is Tolkien-speak.
ETA: And, I'm shocked that Disney used the word "dwarf" as opposed to "little people," which is the sensitive term, amirite? How did Kathleen Kennedy miss that? Good thing she's retiring.

Funny, I actually spelled it Dwarfs then changed it so that I wouldn't be corrected.

Side-note...Vance is a Tolkien fan...

No, remember that Disney stepped in and made them pretty much redo the entire thing. I’m sure there will still be a little wokism in the movie, but nowhere near what it was going to be.

No dwarves in the trailer, just some shadows and a quick shot of a dance.
How are we supposed to know if they are a bunch of weirdos and perverts?

She's a single girl who "communes" with farmyard animals and lives with 7 blokes, and you're worried about homosexuality?
It's just possible you've got issues.

So guess who just told half the country and the majority of the country with kids to fick off and not come to her movie?

May her epic flop never be released.

She's killing her career, no studio will risk their money on her, or at least we can hope. There are few people who represent the "rich, vocal, woke-out-of-touch, tolerant except for views I disagree with, insulated NY bubble" category more than her... she was probably surprised when Trump won, too.

OTOH, I don't think this flop hurts Gadot at all.

I think most of the movie goers will be rooting for the evil queen…

Oddly fascinating review considering I have no interest in the movie. It’s rare for me to watch an entire video but I did.

I watched the movie.
Not bad, just not quite up to par compared to Disney's other major feature films.
Many scenes where the set just seems fake -- you'd think they could do better with the CGI.
Best special effects/CGI scenes are (1) when the Queen transform into an old hag (looks so "natural") and (2) the broken glass/mirror scene (very realistic physics/ray tracing).
Plot is fine, though the romantic subplot between the protagonist and the male lead feels extraneous. -

I took my kids to watch the Mufasa (Lion King) movie. I think it's been out since Christmas. Anyway, it was a fine movie... but holy crap the quality of the "animation" is borderline impossible to tell that it's computer generated. Very impressed. Here's a clip.
