Kevin Sorbo Dragged After Using 'Snow White' Clip To Claim 'The Left Can't Make Movies'
In August 2024, the teaser trailer for the remake became the most disliked teaser for a trailer on YouTube.
The casting of Latina actor Rachel Zegler as the titular princess drew scrutiny from critics. They argued that the character in Disney's 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the original German fairy tale on which it was based, had "skin as white as snow."
She responded to the backlash about her new Snow White being "PC," explaining that the modern take would give the character "a function beyond 'Someday My Prince Will Come.'"
She also condemned the first Disney animated film for its outdated representation of social norms about women.
“The original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,” Zegler said in 2023, adding:
“There is a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her–weird, weird! So we didn't do that this time."
In January 2022, actor Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism and played dwarfish characters in films, slammed the upcoming remake, calling it a "backward story."
His criticism prompted Disney to reimagine the depiction of the dwarves to CG animation instead of casting live actors from the dwarfism community, inciting additional backlash with the media accusing Disney of being "woke."
More controversy plagued the film ahead of its release when Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot, who plays the evil queen, were vocal about their conflicting political views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Gadot supporting her native Israel and Zegler being sympathetic towards Palestine.
The film premiered on March 21 and was panned by critics with a 43% score on Rotten Tomatoes. As of March 23, 2025, Snow White has grossed $42.2 million in the United States and Canada.
Snow White had an estimated budget of $240 to 270 million and is one of the most expensive films ever made, and Disney's fifteenth most expensive to date.
Following the release of the film, Sorbo shared a GIF of a celebratory musical number fromSnow White and wrote in the caption:
"The left can’t make movies."
Sorbo is no stranger to controversy himself.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was banned from Facebook for "sharing debunked claims about the coronavirus or vaccines." Sorbo was also criticized on social media for making repeated remarks supporting Donald Trump's false claims of a stolen election after losing in 2020.
Regarding his swipe at Disney's latest box office bomb, many thought Sorbo was one to talk, given the fact that the role he was most known for was Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys was in the late 1990s.
The actor later pivoted to making Christian films in the late 2010s, including God's Not Dead and Let There Be Light, a career move that failed to make much of an impression.
Social media was quick to point out Sorbo's hypocrisy.

Thanks for playing, Kevin.
Not all of the reviews for Snow White were scathing.
Katcy Stephan of Variety hailed Zegler as a "shining supernova" and said her character showed a "newfound depth through her fervent desire to become the leader her father believed she could be."
IGN's Siddhant Adlakha called the musical remake "the best Disney live-action remake in a decade," adding that it "adapts the broad strokes of the original, while fleshing out its themes."
An audience reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes argued the criticism from those who haven't seen the film "doesn't hold up" and found the film to be "a thoughtful and respectful reimagining of the original animation. It’s clearly made for a new generation of children, but it hasn’t forgotten those of us who grew up with the classic."
Another referred to the the controversies associated with the movie ahead of its release, saying "I think we as a society can learn a lot from this entire experience, but all the keyboard trolls, fake Youtube reviews who think their Roger Ebert and empty vessel political heads never think they’re wrong," adding they couldn't recommend this reimaging take on a Disney classic more.
"Any Disney lovers will adore it," they said, referring to the very demographic the movie was catering to in the hopes of inspiring new generations of fans.
Snow White is now playing in theaters.

Journalist Who Was Invited Into 'War Plans' Group Chat Bluntly Calls Out Trump Administration's Lies
As reported by The Atlantic:
"The world found out shortly before 2 p.m. eastern time on March 15 that the United States was bombing Houthi targets across Yemen."
"I, however, knew two hours before the first bombs exploded that the attack might be coming. The reason I knew this is that Pete Hegseth, the [Secretary of Defense], had texted me the war plan at 11:44 a.m."
"The plan included precise information about weapons packages, targets, and timing."
By Monday evening, the news media—and social media—was awash with commentary about security protocols and incompetence in the Trump administration.
Hegseth was asked, by the press gaggle that greeted his plane in Hawaii on Monday afternoon, to comment on his actions as detailed in The Atlantic article "The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans."
Hegseth claimed:
"Nobody was texting war plans."

Trump's current White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, took to social media to spin more tales to deflect from the truth about 11 members of Trump's team using a commercial group chat app instead of the secure communications technology available to them that is required by regulation and law.
Leavitt posted a long message on X, claiming:
"Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin. Here are the facts about his latest story:"
"1. No 'war plans' were discussed.
2. No classified material was sent to the thread.
3. The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different platforms for President Trump’s top officials to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible."
"As the National Security Council stated, the White House is looking into how Goldberg’s number was inadvertently added to the thread."
"Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi strikes were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that’s what matters most to President Trump."
@PressSec/X
Leavitt's post received pushback.

Meanwhile, Trump himself claimed to have no idea what was going on.
Which might be the only truthful Trump administration response to his team's latest national security faux pas.
But Goldberg wouldn't let the Trump administration's lies go unchallenged.
In a Monday evening appearance on CNN, host Kaitlan Collins asked Goldberg about Hegseth's denials about the content of the unsecured Signal messages received from the Trump administration group chat. Collins shared that Hegseth said there were "no war plans" texted.
The Atlantic editor responded:
"No, that's a lie."
"He was texting war plans. He was texting attack plans, when targets were going to be targeted, how they were going to be targeted, who was at the targets, when the next sequence of attacks were happening?"
Goldberg shared that he kept the most damaging content out of the article for national security reasons.
"I didn't publish this. And I continue not to publish it because it felt like it was too confidential, too technical. And I worry, honestly, that sharing that kind of information in public could endanger American military personnel."
Goldberg concluded his rebuttal of Hegseth's excuse, stating:
"But no, they were-they were plans for the attack. They were texted before the attack."
You can watch Goldberg's comments on Hegseth's denials in this clip shared by CNN's Collins:

The Signal group chat's existence—and message thread content—was confirmed by National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes on Monday, despite Hegseth's and Leavitt's statements to the contrary.
A total of 11 members of the Trump administration participated in the unsecured group chat:
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
- Vice President JD Vance
- National Security Advisor Michael Waltz
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe
- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles
- "MAR," who Goldberg wrote is likely to be Secretary of State Marco Rubio
- "SM," who Goldberg wrote is likely to be Stephen Miller
- Joe Kent, Trump's nominee to lead the National Counterterrorism Center
- U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Calls for Hegseth and others to resign began almost immediately after their violation of well-established security protocols was revealed.
But this isn't the first time a Trump official ignored national security protocols.
In 2019 during Trump's first term in office, White House Senior Advisor—and son-in-law—Jared Kushner was cited by cybersecurity and national security experts for using WhatsApp to communicate with foreign government officials, including Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Now six years later, different app but same old carelessness.
