A HUGE Disney movie reboot is on hold after the company’s big budget Snow White offering bombs at the box office.
Snow White was meant to be one of Disney’s biggest releases in recent years but has hugely underperformed and become a box office bomb after being shrouded in controversy and generating very little public interest.

Now, it is being reported that the disaster has caused Disney to re-think their plans for another live-action movie remake that was understood to be in the works.
Sources have told Variety that plans to commence work on a live-action remake of the 2010 movie Tangled have been paused as a result of the Snow White disaster.
It is not yet clear if Disney hope to pick up the Tangled remake in the future or if it has been shelved for good.
Plans to bring Tangled to life were in full swing with The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey on board to direct the flick.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson was also attached to the project as a scriptwriter.
Whilst it appears the company have been able to pause Tangled in its early stages – two other live action remakes are already virtually complete and as such will continue to receive the backing of Disney.
A live-action release of Lilo and Stitch is due for release later in the year whilst Disney will be releasing a remake of 2016’s Moana on its 10th anniversary in July 2026.
The new version of Snow White, which features Rachel Zegler in the leading role, has seen an enormous amount of backlash upon it’s release.
The film’s release saw it slapped with a slew of ‘woke’ warnings about what viewers would expect in the classic family fairytale.
Viewers are informed that the £200million remake of the 1937 classic features a woman being “deliberately poisoned”.
The British Board of Film Classification also warns that “a character threatens to shove something up another’s backside during a comic exchange”.
Elsewhere, “characters drink alcohol briefly” in the film, which has been shrouded in controversy.
Actress Rachel Zegler, 23, who plays Snow White, said the original Prince Charming acted like a “stalker”.
She also refused to sing Someday My Prince Will Come because she felt it was “weird”.

Disney bosses have been criticised for using CGI dwarves instead of casting real actors.
Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage slammed them for even “making that f***ing backwards story about seven dwarves living in a cave together”.
The film has so far grossed $145million worldwide – a huge under-performance and currently stands at making Disney a $50miilion+ loss.
