Disney did not respond to questions about why the Fox News Digital premiere was reduced, but the news is because the film has been caught up in controversy over the years, due to lead actress Zegler's honest views and the portrayal of the seven dwarves in the original.

Zegler called for further backlash in her reaction to the 2024 presidential election. Following Trump's victory last November, she posted on Instagram, “Trump supporters, Trump voters, Trump voters and themselves never know about peace.”
“f —Donald Trump,” she added. Shortly after sharing her post, the actress apologized, saying, “I did my best to make my feelings my best. Hate and anger have further distil us from peace and understanding.”
Zegler began another Internet Firestorm earlier that year, writing “Free Palestine,” which promotes “Free Palestine” on the X-Post for the trailer for “Sund White.” Some wondered whether the political message was a subtle excavation of film co-star Gadot.

The studio issued a statement in response, saying, “We are taking a different approach with these seven characters and consulting with members of the Dwarfism community to avoid reinforcement of stereotypes from the original animated film.”

Social media users speculated that the studio had changed again after social media rebeled against the proposed portrayal of modernized characters.
