Atim appeared with Mbedu in Barry Jenkins’ acclaimed limited series, The Underground Railroad. She will be seen in Bruised, the directorial debut of actress Halle Berry, as well as the live-action retelling of Disney’s Pinocchio from Robert Zemeckis.

Alan Silvestri has done all the movies with Robert Zemeckis, so to be reunited with him and sort of creating a song score has been great. We did it with The Polar Express in 2005, and so we kind of have been there together to do that, and we understand the challenges of what putting songs into a movie is.

It's not the easiest thing now because the audiences don't necessarily understand movie musicals; there's not that any of them. So it's a real challenge to figure that out but, again, Pinocchio, the original, had three iconic songs in it: "When You Wish Upon A Star", "I've Got No Strings" and "Hi-Diddle-Dee-De" - we're going to use those songs, you know that, but everything else is new.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that we have Tom Hanks as Geppetto, and he's doing two songs in the film. And Luke Evans is The Coachman who is an incredible performer. Cynthia Erivo is singing "When You Wish Upon A Star", so, again, it's an embarrassment of riches. We have some of the most talented people in the entire world - and one of the most incredible directors, and he's telling us to write all these songs. So it's like, 'OKAY!' It's really turned out well.

D82 wrote:Also, if "When You Wish Upon A Star" is now sung by the Blue Fairy and "Give A Little Whistle" has been cut, that also means Jiminy Cricket won't sing in the film. Well, unless they've written new songs for him.

D82 wrote:I also understand why they want Cynthia Erivo to perform the most iconic song in the film, but to me it doesn't make much sense for her character to sing it. I don't know, to me it seems a bit egotistical of her to sing that about herself.

Sotiris wrote:Jiminy Cricket is most likely a non-singing role even though Joseph Gordon-Levitt can sing. If he were singing in the film, he would have been mentioned in the interview with the rest.

Sotiris wrote:It would have made more sense for the song to be sung either by Jiminy or Geppetto in the film and have Erivo sing a version for the end credits.

Disney's Divinity wrote:I see no problem whatsoever with the Blue Fairy singing the song, whether it's over the opening, before the credits, where you can see her specifically singing it or only hear her from somewhere offscreen. She is supposed to be an angelic character; it would be stating reality as a matter of fact and has nothing at all to do with ego. That could only be the case if she was a normal character like the rest of the cast, with emotions and desires of her own.
