Chloe Moretz is the latest celeb to star in a reimagining of Snow White and her upcoming animated retelling of the classic, called Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs, is catching some flack from critics who say its marketing campaign is body-shaming. The movie is about seven princes who have been put under a spell that's transformed them into dwarfs. They set out on a quest to find enchanted red shoes that will lift their curse. The only problem is that the shoes actually belong to Snow White. Her reason for wearing them: They transform her from a short, curvy woman, into a tall, thin woman (a form that she — based on the trailer — appears to prefer when existing in the outside world). Already, the concept for this movie is setting off alarm bells. Obviously, Snow White is beautiful whether she's curvy or thin, so she shouldn't need the enchanted shoes to begin with. With that being said, that could be the movie's overarching, body-positive theme in the end. The only problem is, the movie's posters aren't body-positive. Plus-sized model Tess Holliday spotted one and was instantly offended over it's body-shaming tagline. The poster depicts Snow looking tall and slender in her magic pumps standing next to the real Snow (who's short, curvy, and makeup-less). The tagline asks: "What if Snow White was no longer beautiful and the 7 dwarfs not so short?" Holliday took to Twitter to blast the poster, asking why being fat automatically means Snow isn't beautiful. After someone came to the film's defense, Holliday doubled down calling the poster "damaging to girls." Based on the complete breakdown of the movie's plot, it does seem the movie will have a body-positive message: "Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is a parody that will give the classic fairy tale a twist, setting the story as if the dwarfs were actually seven cursed princes. Snow White, the beauty in the red shoes, appears in front of the dwarfs, who must be kissed by the most beautiful woman in the world to break the curse. As they get into an absurd competition over her kiss, the once arrogant, looks-obsessed princes gradually realize the true meaning of beauty," Variety reports. Still, a tagline that posits that Snow is not beautiful because she's not skinny is not only offensive, but totally misleading and disheartening for plus-sized girls who see this poster. Tess's followers chimed in to voice their disapproval of the poster's message. Chloe Moretz weighed in on the controversy, saying that she is as "appalled and angry as everyone else" over the marketing materials. She added in a series of tweets that she believes the "actual story is powerful for young women" and hopes that people will give the film a chance when it hits theaters.
