Part 8/9:
The portrayal of dwarves has sparked its own controversy. Following Peter Dinklage's critical comments about Disney's original plans, there was an announcement that they would reconsider their approach.

The decision to replace traditional dwarven roles with CGI representations has only intensified the criticism, leaving fans and actors alike feeling disenfranchised.
