Actor Peter Dinklage called out the supposedly “progressive” live-action remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.”

And Disney heard him.

The “Game of Thrones” star, 52, appeared on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast on Monday where he slammed the new film, calling the use of dwarves “XXXXXXX backwards." In response, Disney said the filmmakers will be working with culture consultants to improve the story.

Isn't this a movie that could give a bunch of actors that they otherwise won't get in Hollywood?

[nickcarraway]

I wonder if he ever saw Under the Rainbow or Foul Play?

I don’t think they were complaining when they filmed The Wizard of Oz with the Munchkins.

Yes.

Competition for this Dinklage guy.

He’s thought it through.

Wait, doesn’t he always play a dwarf? Is he a dwarf-blocker?

She’s stuck with Seven Dwarves and not one is named “Horny.”

Let me guess, they cast a Negro as Snow White?

What if they only employ dwarves that self-identify as Arnold Schwarzenegger?

So, what are they planning: eliminating jobs for dwarves like they are doing to female athletes? Is it going to be renamed. Snow White and the Seven Transvestites?

[plain talk]

Snow White and the seven little people?

How about “Snow White and the Seven Harlem Globetrotters”?
