During an interview granted to the WTF podcast by Marc Maron, the interpreter of Tyrion Lannister in Game Of Thrones had castigated a “fucking backward story where seven dwarves live together in a cave”. Peter Dinklage, himself a dwarf, continued in irritation : “What the fuck are you doing? Haven’t I done anything to further the cause? Guess my voice doesn’t carry enough.” The reaction of the Disney studio was not long in coming.

“To avoid reinforcing the stereotypes of the original animated film, we’re taking a different approach to these seven characters and consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film enters production after a long period of development. Here is the press release from the Disney production Transmitted to The Wrap (In English). “We look forward to sharing more as the film enters production, after a long period of development.”

Clearly, more small characters in Snow Whitebut “magical creatures”. According to the American media, Disney is even currently looking for voice actors for “give them personality”. However, no information has filtered out on their precise role in the film and theVoice casting is still ongoing.
