THE star of Disney’s Snow White movie remake has outraged fans by branding Prince Charming a stalker.
And it comes after it was revealed woke studio bosses are to remove the seven dwarfs from the film and replace them with “magical creatures”.

Rachel Zegler, 22, plays the title role in the live action “re-imagining” of the much-loved 1937 animated classic.
But she said of the Walt Disney original: “There is a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her — weird.
“So we didn’t do that this time.”
Talking on a red carpet in Los Angeles, she complained: “I mean, the original came out in 1937 and very evidently so.
“Everyone has their assumptions of what it is going to be, but it is not really a love story at all, which is really, really wonderful.
“We have a different approach to what I am sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie.
“It’s none of those things.”
Her comments have caused uproar.
Social media user Ruby Indygo fumed: “There is nothing wrong with a fictional fantasy fairy tale.
“Leave the classics alone you woke deluded w***ers.”
And another added: “When you have the star calling the male lead character a stalker, why even make a live action Snow White?”
On X, user Peach posted: “Snow White is a love story, but just like everything Disney makes now the new movie has to be woke.
“Original story has worked for over 60 years.”
Last month, it was revealed the seven dwarfs — invented by the Brothers Grimm in their 1812 fairy tale — had been given their marching orders.
It came after Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism, criticised Disney for “still making that backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave”.
Photos were later said to show Rachel on set with her seven companions, who were a mix of heights, genders and races.
The movie is due out in March next year.
