Anne Hathaway Apologises For ‘Pain Caused’ After Backlash Over Her Character In The Witches – Pedestrian TV
Disability advocates criticised the film’s depiction of witches.
Anne Hathaway has issued a heartfelt apology and promised to “do better”, after criticism of her new film The Witches over its portrayal of people with limb differences.
In the film, an adaptation of the popular 1983 Roald Dahl novel, the witches of the title are depicted as having three elongated fingers on each hand, and no toes.
This was met with criticism, with comedian Alex Brooker saying that the film sends a message to children that “we should be scared of people with missing fingers.”
