Mandy Moore has revealed that character of Rapunzel in Disney's new movie Tangled is not what we would expect.
The singer/actress lends her voice to the central character for the new movie and has heaped praise on Disney for developing a strong and impendent women.
Speaking to MTV she said: "She's not the typical femme fatale or the typical Disney princess even.
"She doesn't know she's a princess. I think she sort of has this inkling that something isn't quite right in her life, [but] she's just really sort of motivated to find out what else is out there beyond this crazy tower she's lived in for 18 years."
"Having said that, she's very independent, she can take care of herself, and she's definitely come up with really entertaining ways to keep herself busy."
And while the movie has developed this strong central female character Moore admits that the story does stay true to the original.
"[It is] pretty much [the same]. She has an overprotective mother who tells her she's not missing out on anything, and it's a big, bad world out there and it's too scary and dangerous and she'll be eaten alive, literally, if she decides to venture out into the world."
Moore has mixed her roles up this year as she appeared in a couple of episodes of hit U.S. medical drama Grey's Anatomy before moving on to shoot movie Love, Wedding, Marriage with Kellan Lutz and Jane Seymour.
