Magic Mirror on the wall, what’s the most questionable Disney pin of all?
Snow White at Storybook Dining!
Disney just released a brand-new pin after one of its biggest box office failures. It’s available online at the Disney Store right now, and we need your thoughts.
Check out this Snow White Pin

Get a look at this limited-release Snow White Spinning Pin! The pin is designed with a nice stained glass window look; we’ll give them that. You can even see the shadow of the Evil Queen lurking behind Snow White. But why is the pin based on Disney’s million-dollar flop? It’s as if they want to keep reminding us of their big miss… Look at the pin, it literally looks identical to Rachel Zegler’s version of the iconic Disney princess from the live-action version of Snow White. This is an interesting choice considering the film is still a controversial topic amongst Disney fans. The live-action take on the animated classic came out not too long ago, and you’d think Disney would want to forget about it, yet add this to the list of many merch items they keep releasing.

Fans of the live-action movie may like this. And maybe you noticed we said it was a spinning pin! Who do you think is on the other side? IT’S THE EVIL QUEEN! Of course it would be.

Just like we mentioned before about this pin being based on the live-action Snow White, the evil queen really does look like the actress Gal Gadot. This side is also in a stained glass window design. The pin also has the iconic apple on both sides of the pin, as well as on the bottom of the pin. We do like the design of the outer border of the pin; it looks like those classic castle windows.
Well, Disney, your timing might be a bit off, because it seems like the internet is still not completely over this box office flop. Perhaps this souvenir idea should have stayed in the drafts, eh?

More Disney films than ever are starting to “flop” but the cinema where we live in the UK is very expensive. I would rather wait a few months then watch it on Disney+.
Unfortunately for Disney, the merch would have been ordered and paid for long ago. They don’t really have any choice but to try to move it. They may be able to write off some of it, but I imagine that unless the merch is defective or controversial itself, Disney has to take a swing at selling it first. The Evil Queen side of the pin is cool though – does look like Gal. The Snow White side – she looks angry. Maybe she’s supposed to look angry, but it’s an odd choice.
