The Daily Wire Takes on Disney with Its Own “Snow White” Adaptation
The Nashville-based conservative media platform, The Daily Wire, is set to release its own film adaptation of the Brothers Grimm fairytale, ”Snow White,” in a direct challenge to Disney’s upcoming remake of the classic 1937 film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
The Daily Wire’s version, titled “Snow White and the Evil Queen,” will be available on its newly launched children’s streaming platform, Bentkey, in 2024.

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire alongside political commentator Ben Shapiro, explained the motivation behind Bentkey and the new film. He criticized Disney for promoting far-left, progressive content aimed at children, which he believes has tarnished the company’s reputation.
“It’s been just one year since Disney, the most powerful entertainment company in the world, was caught saying the quiet part out loud, namely that they were using their brand—a brand parents had been trusting with their children for generations—to indoctrinate those children into the LGBTQIA cult,” said Mr. Boreing in the announcement.
Mr. Boreing referred to a leaked video released by Christopher Rufo of the Manhattan Institute, in which a Disney executive discussed plans to incorporate more LGBT themes into their content, citing her own transgender and pansexual children.
“And it’s not just the queerness Disney is promoting,” Mr. Boreing added. “In the show ‘The Proud Family,’ Disney stirs racial division with songs like ‘Slaves Built This Country,’ where kids rap about descendants of slaves earning reparations for every minute they spend submerged in ‘systematic prejudice, racism, and white supremacy.'”
He expressed concern that Disney’s shift towards such content is a departure from “basic reality” and a loss for those who believe in timeless truths.
‘A Social Experiment’
On the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney’s company, Mr. Boreing introduced Bentkey, a streaming platform focused on providing children with content centered around “childhood, wonder, and adventure,” rather than politics.
According to Mr. Boreing, Disney has engaged in a social experiment by incorporating political content into children’s programming, depriving them of their innocence and childhood.
“We instead are using them as social experiments to see if it’s possible to inculcate into them a set of almost anti-value values,” he explained. “I say anti-value because they are not anything that would have historically been considered values, and they in many ways oppose the values on which civilization thus far has been built.”
‘Kids Deserve a Childhood’
Mr. Boreing addressed the controversy surrounding Disney’s remake of “Snow White,” expressing disagreement with the new concept. Rachel Zegler, the actress playing Snow White in Disney’s version, stated that the film would have a “modern edge,” focusing on Snow White becoming a leader rather than being saved by a prince or dreaming of true love.
Disney has faced criticism for deconstructing and rewriting classic stories with progressive themes. David Hand, son of the director of the original 1937 “Snow White,” called the new adaptation “insulting.”
Mr. Boreing argued that Disney has abandoned Walt’s legacy, shifting away from timeless truths and instead offering an apology for their past while exposing children to destructive lies of the present.
While the launch of Bentkey and the new adaptation of “Snow White” may be seen as political acts, Mr. Boreing emphasized that the material itself is free of political messaging, aiming to provide children with a genuine childhood experience.
‘They Have a Responsibility’
Mr. Boreing highlighted the challenges faced by individuals working in children’s entertainment, particularly when it comes to incorporating transgender ideologies into shows targeted at young children. He acknowledged that those drawn to kids’ entertainment are individuals who love and cherish the innocence of children, emphasizing their responsibility.
According to Mr. Boreing, many talented artists and animators have joined Bentkey due to their disagreement with the progressive agendas pushed by companies like Disney. He described them as “a special breed” who are creative and driven by love, refusing to participate in what they perceive as evil.

Been considered valuable or good or true at any point in human history.”
With Bentkey, The Daily Wire aims to provide an alternative for parents who are concerned about the progressive agenda in children’s entertainment. The platform will feature content that promotes traditional values and encourages critical thinking.
“Snow White and the Evil Queen” is one of the first projects under the Bentkey banner. The adaptation will stay true to the original fairytale, focusing on the timeless themes of good versus evil. The Daily Wire’s version aims to offer a refreshing take on the story, providing a conservative perspective that is often missing in mainstream media.
By releasing their own adaptation of “Snow White,” The Daily Wire is challenging Disney’s monopoly on children’s entertainment. The Nashville-based conservative media platform is highlighting the need for diverse viewpoints and opposing ideologies in the industry.
This move by The Daily Wire has garnered attention, both from conservative supporters and critics. Some view it as a much-needed alternative to the progressive narrative that dominates children’s programming, while others see it as a conservative attempt to push their own agenda.
Regardless of opinions, the release of “Snow White and the Evil Queen” is a significant moment in the ongoing battle between conservative and progressive ideologies in media. With its Bentkey platform, The Daily Wire is determined to provide an option for parents who want their children to have access to entertainment that aligns with their values.
Time will tell how successful The Daily Wire’s adaptation will be. It is clear, however, that the conservative media platform is making a bold statement and further expanding its influence in the entertainment industry. As the release date approaches, “Snow White and the Evil Queen” will undoubtedly continue to generate discussion and fuel the ongoing debate surrounding children’s entertainment and ideological diversity in media.
Regardless of the outcome, The Daily Wire has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with, willing to challenge industry giants like Disney and provide an alternative for those seeking conservative content for their children.
As Bentkey continues to grow and expand its offerings, it remains to be seen how much impact it will have on the entertainment landscape. One thing is for certain, however: The release of “Snow White and the Evil Queen” is just the beginning of The Daily Wire’s foray into the world of children’s entertainment.
