Disney is grappling with a significant crisis following the disappointing release of “Snow White 2025,” which has been labeled one of the biggest box office failures in Hollywood history. The film, intended to modernize the classic fairy tale, has instead sparked backlash for its lackluster storytelling and perceived overemphasis on political correctness. Critics argue that Disney’s attempt to push a diversity agenda overshadowed the narrative, leading to widespread discontent among audiences and critics alike.

The fallout from “Snow White” has placed CEO Bob Iger under intense scrutiny. Once viewed as the company’s savior, Iger now faces a board of directors questioning his leadership amid the film’s disastrous reception. The board’s concerns have escalated to the point where they have issued an ultimatum: Iger must either step down earlier than planned or cancel several upcoming high-risk projects, including the much-anticipated live-action remake of “Tangled.”

Set against a backdrop of hefty production costs, the future of “Tangled” now hangs in the balance. The film was slated to follow a similar creative direction as “Snow White,” incorporating themes of diversity and inclusion that are now viewed with skepticism by the board. Alongside “Tangled,” the board is also contemplating the cancellation of Marvel’s “Blade,” which has faced its own production challenges.

Moreover, discussions are underway regarding the potential sale of portions of the Star Wars franchise, signaling deeper concerns about Disney’s handling of its most iconic properties. With the company’s stock price sliding and a growing number of projects under threat, the decisions made in the coming months will be critical for Disney’s future. As the company stands at this crossroads, questions loom: Can Disney recover from this turmoil, or is this the beginning of a long-term decline for one of the world’s most beloved entertainment giants?
