00:00Turns out, regardless of Zegler's need to update the character or the film, there are a lot of similarities between Rachel Zegler and a pin-up model that Zegler's recently compared herself to, Adriana Castellotti, who voiced the original Snow White.
00:11And you might notice, as per archival footage, that she is in fact also an inspiration for the animations themselves, which is a classic technique used by Disney throughout its history of animated filter films.
00:21Literally having women, men, and people dressed as weird, creepy characters, some of them totally not politically correct and in need of an update, is there really a problem plaguing this recent release of Snow White?
00:31Well, sometimes finding a fine-looking woman that can emulate your main character is a great way to give a character realistic body imagery, and sure, a lot of these old cartoons are outdated, but how do you remake a classic through a new lens while simultaneously honoring the original script?
00:43Well, the easy answer is not to remake anything ever again, but apparently even Zegler agrees with that, as she's caused serious problems for the marketing team by apparently throwing some serious shade on the original movie.
00:53Where's the marketing been for this thing?
00:55The half-CGI and live-action remake seems to have us all asking questions like,
00:59Why does an errant fair maiden find herself lost in the woods among seven sneezy, lazy, bashful, etc, etc, magical woodland men?
01:06And how updated could you actually make this film?
01:08Well, CGI and creating realistic characters in a fantasy world is what Disney does best, honestly.
01:13But you don't even have to look to that long ago to see that Disney animating actual swimsuit-clad ladies,
01:18ehh, to make an actual mermaid, per se, is something that really happened.
01:22To fully realize the story of the mermaid princess Ariel, for example, animators, again, turned to the old-school methods and brought in a model to act out some scenes.
01:29This time, Disney recruited a woman who wasn't the voice actress, but a woman named Sherry Stoner, a member of the improv comedy group The Groundlings.
01:36Walt Disney Studios, since hanging around with a fish is pretty much Ariel's jam,
01:40Stoner acted out scenes with puppets hanging out with fish.
01:43Instead of the adorable flounder, though, Stoner had to chat with a character straight out of a puppet show about meth-addicted velociraptors.
01:49We understood, for some reason, the step in the process took place after the voice acting was recorded,
01:53so in the making-of footage, you can see Stoner lip-syncing to the dialogue.
01:57Not unlike an episode of Baywatch that inexplicably takes place on the Star Trek hold.
02:02Yep, that's right. The early Disney classics involved real actors dressing up and acting like crazy people,
02:08and Walt Disney Company was often ahead of its time.
02:11In the 1930s, however, when every other animation studio was content by simply making shorts and short animated things,
02:18they started to produce feature-length cartoons, which were hard to make.
02:22And to help forge ahead in uncharted cinematic waters, early Disney productions would get actors to first act out difficult-to-draw,
02:29quote-unquote, scenes, as a reference for the animators, and this eventually led to rotoscoping,
02:34which means that they literally trace over live-action footage, because not only did this advance the field of animation,
02:39but more importantly, it seems that there are a bunch of crazy images of old-timey actors behaving like lunatics in very familiar costumes.
02:46We've mentioned how, for some scenes in Sleeping Beauty, the live-action footage featured a fully-costumed actor,
02:50staged in real sets, and not just fully clothed, but fully-costumed, yeah.
