Sequel to Snow White?!

Again, I ask, why single out the Snow White sequel for our wrath? If
we are to object to video sequels, we should do for all of them (e.g.,
by not buying them), rather than signing a petition to stop the release
of a particular video.

I'm not sure why you object to one-shots, while you don't mind serial
form. What's good about the continuing stooooory (to borrow a phrase from
the Muppet show) of, say, Snow White, and why would a one-shot story
be bad? Besides, those comic book stories didn't have any continuity,
so you might say that they were all one-shots.

Growth hormone deficient person?

Not to mention seven men living all alone in the woods in the same
household.  Disney should really be ashamed of themselves!

Actually, a lady living with seven men in one household could be their
mother, or some kind of foster mother, as Snow White was clearly portrayed
in the film. Even the dwarfs were portrayed as children rather than as
grown men.

I wonder if in the new movie they'll take political correctness to its
limit, making a couple of the dwarfs black, even though they weren't in
the original. If I'm not mistaken, Gladstone (or was it Disney?) had
done this for some of the background characters in their comics, even
though Barks had drawn his stories for a market that pretended that
black people did not exist.
