“Snow White backlash strikes again”—Fans laugh as Disney halts the live-action Tangled remake

Disney has indefinitely paused the production of their live-action film Tangled, in what comes as a jolt to Disney's mission of turning every animated classic into a live-action extravaganza.

This decision comes on the heels of Snow White's disappointing performance at the box office, which left viewers wondering if the poisoned apple was actually meant for them.

Perhaps Disney noticed a pattern creeping up and decided not to take a risk?

Disney's decision to halt production for Tangled remake sends fans into a frenzy

The Disney production machine for the live-action Tangled remake was in full swing: the script had been drafted, and there had also been speculation about the cast. Therefore, Disney's decision to pull the plug on the project makes it all the more amusing, as significant time and energy had already been spent on it.

Everything seemed to be going fine until it wasn't: Snow White tanked at the Box Office, resulting in wider repercussions for other projects as well. The Disney executives had to completely change their plans, and Rapunzel, with her 70 feet of magical locks, also ended up getting tangled in all of the mess!

The news spread like wildfire on the internet, and netizens are unfiltered when it comes to roasting Snow White and the Disney executives. There were memes and jokes abound on X as netizens torched the place:

"Snow white causing generational resistance. in a funny way it might have been what the industry needed and now has to have consideration, not just IP meat riding", mocked one fan (via X / @foundmykey)

"It would be very poetic to find out that it was the Snow White that did it. Snow White being the first animated movie in history. Snow White live action ending all production of future live action remakes, returning to traditional animation", joked another (via X / @MDMPr0ductions)

"Nature is healing", jested another (via X / @cosmic_oro)

While the theory that it was Snow White's bad performance at the box office that caused the demise of the live-action Tangled does hold some weight, it would be premature to conclude until further confirmation is given from Disney.

With one snarky comment after another, fans reveled in the chaos that unfolded on the internet. Fans even came up with chaotic suggestions debating the reasons for Rapunzel's untimely halt in production:

"Some intern read the comments and hit the emergency brakes", quipped another (via X / @_littlerobin_1)

Another fan lamented:

"Damn I heard they were considering Leslie Jones for the lead! Pfft we can't have nice things anymore I guess"

Amid the chaos on the internet, fans came up with some clever quips that summarized the situation perfectly. One fan came up with an inescapable pun that turned Snow White’s failure into Tangled’s comedy crown:

"You could say the development was…………tangled"

Nothing sums up 2025 better than Tangled getting tangled up in Disney's own web of tangled missteps! These guys are on a roll in 2025!

Snow White has become a punchline for fans to troll Disney with, proving that nothing unites a fandom like a good old-fashioned fairy-tale failure. As production was halted for one of Disney's flagship projects, we can only wait and see what Disney has in store for the rest of the live-action projects.

Will Disney cave in to fan pressure and halt the production of its other projects as well, or will it double down on its initiative and come roaring back in late 2025? Only time will tell.
