Wait, Disney Got Everyone Mad AGAIN? Here Are 5 Movies That Totally Stirred the Pot in 2025

Snow White got a face-lift, but it wasn’t exactly a fairy tale. Rachel Zegler, a Latina actress, played Snow White, which some fans found... confusing because, you know, the name and all that. But wait, it got better! Rachel called the original movie a bit old-school, said the Prince was kind of a stalker, and bragged her Snow White wouldn’t need any man to save her. Oof! Then, Disney decided to swap the seven dwarfs for a crew of “bandits,” which made some folks super upset - poor actors with dwarfism lost their big roles! Oh, and there was behind-the-scenes tension between Rachel and co-star Gal Gadot. Mix it all together, and boom - a movie that some called the worst of the year. Drama alert!

Moana’s live-action teaser came out and... everyone’s biggest gripe? Her hair! Catherine Laga’aia, a legit Samoan actress, played Moana, but the internet freaked out because her hair wasn’t the twisty tight curls from the cartoon. Instead, she had looser waves, and people screamed, “They took the hair off her!” Social media lit up with side-by-side pics and angry questions like, "Why straighten island girl’s hair?" It turns out, hair really *is* a big deal.

Remember Pleakley, the one-eyed alien who rocked wigs and dresses in the original? Well, 2025’s live-action tossed that out. In the new movie, Pleakley’s all dressed like a guy. Fans were NOT happy. The director even came out saying, "I tried to keep the dress vibe," but no dice. This sparked hours of “What was Disney thinking?” debates online. It’s a classic case of trying to please everyone and ending up satisfying no one. Yup, big chaos!

Pixar’s Elio arrived with a bigger story behind the scenes than on-screen. Early versions showed the main guy being openly queer, with pink tank tops and secret crush photo hints. But guess what? All those moments got cut. The director got replaced, and the movie flopped hard at the box office - the worst opening ever for Pixar. Fans were left wondering: what even happened? A little mystery and a lot of Hollywood drama.

Versa is a sweet little short about love and life’s ups and downs, and it debuted at a film festival with lots of heart. But some viewers turned the gentle story into a battleground, complaining about scenes showing a man and woman holding hands or a pregnant belly glowing in the stars. Yep, some folks called it “disgusting” and “propaganda” because apparently, love between a man and woman is controversial? Who knew a short film could spark such weird drama!
