Mandy Moore Offers Thoughts on Voicing Disney's "Rapunzel"

Despite a busy production schedule, Mandy Moore sat down in London last week to address her recent selection as the voice of Disney's newest princess, Rapunzel.

The 50th animated production for Disney, the film is an adaption on the popular German fairytale made famous by the Brothers Grimm. According to various sources, "Chuck" star Zachary Levi will join Mandy as the voice of the prince, while David Schwimmer will also reportedly star. It is the first animated film for the singer/songwriter since Brother Bear 2, starring Partrick Dempsey.

In a recent interview with RottenTomatoes.com, Mandy admits that the "opportunity to play a Disney princess was one that [she] leapt at."

"She's defiitely the quintessential sassy, young Disney heroine," says Mandy. "She's a bit of a spitfire too, and very curious young woman. She's really curious about the world she's never really seen, and she's coming in to her own."

Scheduled for a Winter 2010 release, the film has already begun production, according to Mandy. "I've done a little bit of work already," she said in the interview. "But the bulk of it I'll start when I get back home. It's a lot of fun. And there's a lot of music involved; really great music."

While the movie promises to carry the hallmarks of Disney's classic animated films, it will be filmed in 3-D to create an unparalleled viewer experience.

Mandy Moore Joins Fight Against Cervical Cancer!

MandyMooreBlog.com is proud to support our favorite songstress in the fight against cervical cancer. According to her official blog, Mandy Moore is teaming up with GlaxoSmithKline and the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation in the National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign. 

As many of you know, this form of cancer is particularly insidious. In addition to robbing one's ability to have children, it is the second leading cause of cancer death for American women in their 20s and 30s. Recognizing this, Mandy notes, "Like some of you, I've been thinking a lot more about my future and the possibility of being a mother someday."

While Mandy certainly isn't trading her mic for a stroller anytime soon, we can't help but get excited at the prospect! Be sure to check out the rest of her announcement here...

Overall, this is an amazing cause, and I simply can't say enough about Mandy's generosity. To follow her lead, check out Gynecological Cancer Foundation's home page for secure online donations. We all have the power to save a life.
