Murphy calls for Rapunzel

Donna Murphy is the newest person to lend their voice to Walt Disney Pictures’ latest addition to the 2D princess animated family with Rapunzel. Murphy will be voicing Mother Gothel, the villainess that keeps Rapunzel locked away. The story centers on Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore), who is kidnapped from her parents’ castle as child and locked in a hidden tower before escaping with the help of a bandit (Zachary Levi) (THR).

Rapunzel is set to be released on November 24th, 2010. Walt Disney Pictures is currently boosting the marketing for the supposed ‘bringing back 2D animated films’ with The Princess and the Frog. Will it actually give the supposed sub animated princess genre an adrenaline shot back to life, or will Rapunzel end up having to clean up the mess? Only time will tell, especially once The Princess and the Frog rolls into theaters this upcoming weekend everywhere.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
