LOS ANGELES -- Actress Chloe Grace Moretz is apologizing after promotional material released for her upcoming animated film was accused of body shaming women.
The 20-year-old actress said she talked to the producers for the film "Red Shoes & the 7 Dwarfs" about the marketing choices, including a billboard appearing at the Cannes Film Festival last week.
Moretz lent her voice as Snow White for the film.
Moretz added that she stands behind the film's script, which she said tells a powerful message to young women.
The ad depicted a tall, thin woman in red heels next to a shorter, heavier version of herself holding her heels. The tagline promoted a Snow White who was no longer beautiful.
Social media users criticized the ad on Wednesday, May 31.
The film's company, South Korea-based Locus Creative Studios, did not immediately return an email seeking comment. (AP)
