Back in July I posted some concept art of Disney’s Rapunzel which included some rumors of who could possibly be cast as the voice actors. Now Empire is reporting that Rapunzel will be voiced by Mandy Moore, and that Chuck’s Levi will voice what’s being described as a roguish bandit in the Digital, 3D-animated, musical, action-adventure feature. As noted in the previous post, Byron Howard & Nathan Greno will be directing the film.
Levi is obviously the star of NBC’s Chuck and among other things, Moore might have made me cry in A Walk to Remember.Empire notes that we should be looking at a 2010 release.
“Rogue bandit?” “Action Adventure?” How hard is it to follow a simple fairy tale without having to rely on outlaws and pirates and swashbuckling nonsense? I hope it’s just me, but it seems like ever sinse John Lasseter took over Disney Feature Animation (excuse me, Disney Animation Studios,) the cartoons have been getting farther and farther from their roots…
