A Disney spokesperson responded to Dinklage's criticism, stating “To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community."

The spokesperson continued to state that Disney "looks forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period". while speaking to The Hollywood reporter.

Dinklage has got a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia. The actor is not involved with Disney's upcoming project.
