Anne Hathaway has a message for her fans.
The 37-year-old winner-taker recently starred in HBO Max’s adaptation of “The Witch” as the Grand High Witch, which boasts animal-like materialism in this iteration.
One feature in particular – the hands are like a bird’s foot and show only three fingers on each hand – drowning many.
The organ difference community spoke, that it was problematic to use such a feature to make Hathaway’s character look human.

Now, the actress has spoken, sharing a video on Instagram produced by the Lucky Finn project, showing people thumbs up and saying they’re “not pathetic.”

“I have recently learned that many people with disabilities, especially children, suffer because of the portrayal of the Grand High Witch in The Witches,” Hathaway wrote in the caption. “Let me start by saying that I try to be sensitive to other people’s feelings, not out of fear of the PC, but it seems like a basic level of politeness that we should all try not to hurt others.”
Tara said she “believes in omnipotence and really, really hates cruelty,” and apologized “for suffering suffering” in the way the character’s role has been shown.

The actress said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t associate the organ difference with GHW when the character’s appearance was brought to me; if I had, I can assure you it would never have happened.” “I especially want to say that I am sorry for children with organ differences: now that I know better I promise I will do better.”
Then came the “special apology” for the families of people with disabilities.
“Sorry I put your family down.”

The statement said: “While adapting to the original story, we worked with designers and artists to come up with a new interpretation of the cat-like claws described in the book,” the statement said. “This was never the intention of the audience. It seems that fictional, human beings were there to represent them. The film is about the power of kindness and friendship. We hope families and children can enjoy the film and embrace this empowering, loving theme.” . “
“The Witches” is based on the 1983 novel by Rovel Dahl of the same name. The 1990 film adaptation of the book saw Angelica Huston play the same role, but with all her fingers.
