Ho White and the Seven Dwarves - A raunchy beer ad in Australia angered Disney with its Ho White and the Seven Dwarves theme showing her in bed with Filthy, Smarmy, Randy and other satirical dwarves.
A beer ad for ”Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale… anything but sweet” featuring Snow White blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with seven semi-naked dwarves has reportedly left Disney fuming.
The raunchy Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale ad renamed Disney’s fairytale cartoon heroine “Ho White”.
Loveable Disney dwarves, like Sleepy, Happy and Doc, were replaced with Filthy, Smarmy and Randy to portray different types of drinkers.
Ad campaign creators The Foundry claimed the idea was to convince Australian drinkers that the fruit-flavoured beer was “anything but sweet”.
But the raunchy beer ad aroused the ire of the entertainment giant which licenses Snow White, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
The Foundry says it has had “a little bit of contact” with Disney over the issue, the paper said.
The campaign’s official website, anythingbutsweet.com, can no longer be accessed.
Australia’s Food Week website speculated that this may be due to a copyright infringement claim from Disney.
And that’s the latest on Disney upset over Ho White and the Seven Dwarves.
