Disney Grumpy Over “Ho White”
October 16, 2009
Funny thing….Disney apparently didn’t like this rendition of Snow White, and has contacted the ad agency in question, according to The Register. Funnier still is that Grumpy still looks, well, grumpy.
I suppose one could try to argue that Snow White and the Dwarves aren’t really owned by Disney, as they come from the Kinder- und Hausmärchen. I doubt one would get too far with that, though, especially since these are obviously styled to look like the Disney rendition.
Hat tip to my friend Hayden, without whose Facebook feed this one would’ve gotten by me.
And hey, on the topic of strange Snow White-related entertainment…..I found myself searching out this YouTube clip today, courtesy of snowlowe2:
Gotta love that hat in the finale!

Yeah, I considered the whole thing about Snow White being in the public domain, but the her hair style and the hats of the dwarfs seems just like Disney’s version.
That Rob Lowe video was a new kind of horrible. Like home perms and genie pants, that needed to stay in the 80s where it belongs.
