As Rachel Zegler told Halle Bailey, one particular beloved song — “Whistle While I Work,” which fans likely remember from the classic animated movie — was basically performed completely alone while they were shooting. The song in the movie features friendly woodland creatures helping Snow White with her chores, but obviously, director Marc Webb decided not to try and train any squirrels, mice, or deer. Still, Zegler said it was hard to get used to.
“Most of that day was spent singing to nothing,” Zegler said, also noting Bailey’s appearance in “The Little Mermaid” — another CGI-heavy film. “There was a lot of puppetry and CGI in post,” she continued. “It was really intense. There’s a lot of bloopers of me tossing a broom and letting it fall to the ground because that’s apparently how you toss things off to CGI characters.”
At the end of the day, Zegler had a good attitude about it all: “But it’s so much fun!”
