‘Snow Woke and the Seven Pronouns'?🍎🎬💸🤑

A brutally honest review of Disney’s new movie?
I can't say that I'm a fan of woke adaptions of classic tales, and this one seems to be the wokest one of them all by the media hype over the last year or two.
When I was leaving LA this movie was about to hit the Disney owned cinema on Hollywood Blvd. and all the media buzz was about the low-key premiere planned for the film because of all the controversy surrounding the movie. 
I would have liked to have seen this movie at the El Capitain cinema just to say I had seen a movie there, but it wouldn't be playing there until I was back in Australia, and we didn't really have time to watch a movie at the cinema with all the other things we had planned to do in LA.
I can't say that I'm against "woke" movies as much as right wingers are, but neither am I for them as most left wingers are.
But for this one I'm with the 
right wingers and hope the movie bombs, as I'm a fan of the classic animated film, even with all of its PC faults of the time ... or perceived PC faults of the time.
I might wait until the movie comes to Disney+, as I don't want to contribute to the movie's BO takings directly, to be honest.
Maybe I'll go to my local cineplex cinemas and buy a ticket for another movie playing around the same time and then go in and watch Snow White instead, without adding to its Box Office takings:-)
And how ironic it is that they use the word KINGdom in a "woke" trailer for the movie;-)

UPDATE: April 6th, 2025
I went and saw
'Snow White' last Wednesday, but I bought a ticket to Captain America so I wouldn't contribute to the movie's box office takings, knowing that Disney would still get the money as they own Marvel.
I thought I was going to have the whole cinema to myself, as of the 12:50pm screening time there was only me in the cinema, but then just as the lights were fading for the trailers and ads an old couple wandered in, followed by two adults and a couple of kids.
To be honest, I didn't mind the film all that much, and while the story has been changed from the original animated feature, I would have no trouble taking my granddaughter to see this movie.
So how did we get to this point?
I think the IMDB rating of 1.6 is way too harsh, and while the movie is no classic I would rate it about 5.5, as it's no worse than most Disney movies I've seen recently. 
There was even a
Disney trailer for a movie coming out in June about a kid who wants to be abducted by aliens?!
