Ben Shapiro revealed in an interview with author and YouTube personality Will Jordan (The Critical Drinker) that the decision to make the picture was in response to negative reactions towards the upcoming live-action retelling of Snow White by Disney starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, and to create an alternative that would tell a more traditional fairy tale for consumers that would not be woke.
Snow White and the Evil Queen will be The Daily Wire+ first feature-length production of its newly-launched kids entertainment platform, Bentkey.
