00:00All right!
00:01Holly, how are you?
00:02Hey, Holly, how you doing?
00:03Hi!
00:04How are you?
00:05Good!
00:06I wanted to ask you, you know, about the new Snow White live film that's coming out.
00:10It's been getting a lot of backlash, you know.
00:12Can I ask you what you think about that?
00:15Oh, well, you know, this is a movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
00:19It's a movie that is supposed to have real dwarves, and instead, Disney chose to use
00:27CGI to replace actors and actresses that are little people that are very talented.
00:32Yeah, like, sorry to interrupt you.
00:34Look up the original Snow White.
00:36The dwarves are the stars of the movie.
00:38A lot of people are saying they're going to, like, hate watch the film.
00:41They're going to watch it just so they can hate on it.
00:43Do you think that people should still go see the film?
00:45Yeah, everyone should go see the film, but it's like, it's about equality, like, you know.
00:50All little people, dude, you know, there's a lot of little people out there that are
00:54freaking actors and actresses that love to have parts in, you know, this kind of movie.
01:00And, you know, and everyone's trying to get their dreams come true, and it just seems
01:04like we're getting our dreams shut out, you know, by Disney and Hollywood and the industry.
01:08And Disney had the great opportunity to cast people, very talented actresses like ourselves.
01:13Yeah, we've been in the entertainment game for 20 years.
01:16That's seven roles right there.
01:18Seven little people that could have filled those roles.
01:21And, unfortunately, you know, we were shut out of that opportunity.
01:24We're trying to get an Oscar, too. What's up? What's up? You know, damn!
01:29So, moving forward, Disney and all other studios should, you know, take the message that, you know, everyone should be included.
01:35Yeah.
01:36Take notes, you know, for all the future, you know, producers and stuff that, you know,
01:41let's not go in the direction of CGI.
01:43Let's instead, let's cast people that deserve to be in those roles, especially when it's for little people.
01:50Human beings.
01:51That was made for us.
01:52Yeah.
