Set photos purporting to be from Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs received backlash for its “politically correct” depiction of the princess’ famed companions.

The Daily Mail published an article – titled, “Snow White and the Seven...Politically-Correct Companions” – which claimed to show leaked images from the Disney set taken in Bedfordshire, England on Thursday (13 July).

In the photos, an actress appeared to be dressed in Snow White’s signature yellow and blue dress with a red cape, accompanied by a cast of diverse male and female actors playing the seven characters.

The controversy escalated when a Disney spokesperson told The Daily Beast on Friday (14 July) that the set photos were fake. “The photos are fake and not from our production. We are currently trying to have the Daily Mail issue a correction,” Disney initally said.
