The film has faced significant criticism from both audiences and critics, despite a substantial investment in the hundreds of millions. Billy highlights the stark contrast between this film and the original 1937 "Snow White," which generated approximately $4 billion in revenue when adjusted for inflation. The conversation touches on the challenges faced by lead actress Rachel Ziegler, including her controversial statements and the dynamics with co-star Gal Gadot. Billy critiques Disney's current direction, suggesting that the company's focus on political correctness and "wokeism" may alienate audiences seeking escapism in family films.

This discussion is important as it reflects broader trends in the film industry and the potential implications for Disney's brand and future projects.
