Red Shoes and the 7 Dwarfs is produced by South Korean animation studio Locus, with a script in English. According to the Locus website, the film – which currently has no release date – tells the story of “a Princess who doesn’t fit into the celebrity world of Princesses – or their dress size.”

Moretz plays Snow White/Red Shoes, who decides to leave her home on Fairy Tale Island (which is “all about looks”) to find her lost father. Along the way, “she learns not only to accept herself, but to celebrate who she is, inside and out”.

However, that message doesn’t quite comes across in the film’s trailer, which shows two dwarfs – who are actually cursed princes – sneaking into Snow White’s cottage and secretly watching her undress. (Yep.) They are horrified once they realise that Moretz’s character is only lithe and beautiful while she’s wearing her magic red shoes. As soon as she slips them off at the end of the day, her true self is revealed: a heavier girl who burps.

“They sexualise her and then f***ing body shame her,” wrote one Twitter user. “What a great f***ing children’s movie.”
