The human stars behind the Tangled stars, Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore at the Los Angeles Hollywood premiere on Sunday, November 14, 2010.
Flashing lights, neon signs, Hollywood sparkle. By these few words just spoken, you would think a guy like me was heading to the premiere of Burlesque. False. In reality, I hit the red carpet of the premiere of Disney’s Tangled. The scene is Hollywood Boulevard, the center of dreams and all things glamour. Specifically, this red carpet was hosted at the El Capitan Theater, a staple in most of Disney’s premieres.
When we arrived, the usual press check in seemed rather quick, considering the waiting like was nearly a block. Grabbing my spot on the carpet felt surreal when I looked down to see my sites name as one of the lucky few chosen to have a spot. Besides the rushing thrill of buses quickly passing us by and appropriately covered with Tangled poster art, it was time to get down to business and interview the stars.
The film is the story of Rapunzel, which if you don’t already know about, please remove the rock you live under and head to your local computer area. More specifically Google.com. However, this film changed its name to Tangled, so the emphasis was taken off of the princess scenario. You see, last years The Princess & The Frog was successful, but not as successful as Disney had hoped. Therefore, the title was changed to give the option of little boys wanting to check out the action, and not being deferred because it was a story of a Princess.
Moving along, the statuesque beauty, Mandy Moore voiced Rapunzel. We were given an opportunity to ask her a few questions. I know, I know, I’m supposed to ask questions about this role, but I just couldn’t help it. Mandy was featured in one of my favorite movies, Southland Tales. I wanted to know out of the roles she’s played, which was her favorite? A quick stump, and a bright smile, gave way to “A Walk to Remember, because it was my first film” and what a good role it was.
Chuck star Zachary Levi, voices the role of Flynn – a bad boy type, if you will. A dream come true for Zach, who admitted to us “I was the kid running around singing songs from Aladdin.” Clearly, this role was a dream come true. Something all of you may not know about him is that the man can sing, he gets to flex those pipes alongside Mandy in the duet, I See the Light, which is featured in the film. In addition to the many talents this actor expresses, we learned that producing is definitely at the top of his list, he’s started a company and it looking to possibly remake some 80′s films her enjoys. The task is not easy, but he’s hoping to shed some light and do things a little differently. We’ll have to wait and see.
The excitement of the cast and crew, the genuine appreciation of the Disney genre and the fact that Tangled marks Disney’s 50th animated film are all contributing factors that the kid in me came back. I admit it, I want to be a part of the experience and check it out on Thanksgiving. So, I say to you, take your family – kids, parents, uncles & friends. Check out the film and be a part of the experience, in theaters November 24, 2010.
