Mandy Moore revealed that her role as the voice-over for Rapunzel in the new Disney animation, Tangled, was a “dream come true,” in a recent interview with Collider.com.
The 26-year-old said in the interview that she loved working on the romantic comedy and described it as a “dream come true,” because she and co-star Zachary Levi grew up watching Disney movies and helped make history in Disney’s 50th film to be produced at the studio.
“So to be included in that lineage and that history, it’s really not a tough day at the office,“ she told Collider.com. ”It wasn’t grueling; it was over maybe a year and a half of actually doing the work with the film.”
In a recent interview with The Globe and Mail, the singer/actress mentioned she'd always wanted to play a princess.
However, what Moore loves about the film is her non-traditional role as a “fearless” character who “doesn’t necessarily need a man to live happily ever after,” rather than the usual damsel in distress.
“She’s got a great sense of humor”, Moore told the Mail. “She’s not waiting for anyone—especially a man—to come and rescue her. I like that this is a journey of self-realization for her.”
“All she’s ever been told is that the real world is scary, filled with people who want to take advantage of her, or cut off her hair [which has magical curing powers],” Moore added. “But that doesn’t dissuade her from wanting to go on this journey. I love that she feels compelled to figure out what the outside world is all about—and find her place in it.”
