Disney\u2019s live-action Snow White was a disaster for the studio, but Rachel Zegler is sticking up for the film. The project seemed to be met with controversy from the outset. From reshoots to pandemic-related delays, Snow White ballooned to become one of Disney\u2019s most costly films. When it was finally released earlier this year, it was met with mixed reviews and a disappointing box office<\/a> take of barely over $205 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

Many cast blame on Zegler for one reason or another, whether it was because they believed she was miscast<\/a>, her statements on the original film, or because they disagreed with her outspoken political opinions. The actress recently reflected on her experiences with Snow White while speaking with Helen Mirren for Glamour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made lifelong friends on that job. That kind of family doesn\u2019t get dissipated by online discourse,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery experience I\u2019ve had so far has been such a wonderful lesson learned. I loved working on [Snow White], and I love that film. I\u2019ve seen it a few times, and it [became] number one on streaming on Disney+, so I know that it\u2019s celebrated. It was one of those experiences of sometimes negativity being louder than positivity.\u201c<\/p>\n

Now that the project is behind her, Zegler\u2019s not letting the criticism get to her. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m a duck,\u201d she said. \u201cIt rolls right off my back these days.\u201c<\/p>\n

Controversies aside, Snow White was ultimately another rather uninspiring live-action adaptation of one of Disney\u2019s animated classics. Our own Chris Bumbray found the film to be somewhat of a \u201cbig yawn\u201d and felt it was strangely padded for a movie that runs under two hours. However, he did have some praise for Zegler\u2019s performance. \u201cRachel Zegler is fine as Snow White, with her fresh-faced look perfect for the kind-hearted character, and she can certainly sing (even if the songs are far from memorable),\u201d he wrote. \u201cIn some ways, I\u2019d argue that, despite her comments, Snow White hasn\u2019t been updated enough; with her such a naive heroine, it\u2019s hard to invest too much in her. Yet, of the cast, Zegler fares the best.\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney\u2019s live-action Snow White was a disaster for the studio, but Rachel Zegler is sticking up for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206,30374,1152],"class_list":{"0":"post-269950","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-rachel-zegler","11":"tag-snow-white"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
