“The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so,” Zegler told Extra in 2022.
“There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn’t do that this time,” she quipped.
Zegler was then slammed as “immature” by Disney producer Marc Platt’s son,Jonah Platt, in an explosive rant after the film flopped at the box office.
