Disney records their animated voices so far in advance, that I think we woulda heard by now. the IMDB cast list seems to be pretty detailed. But maybe it was a last minute song or something she's done? (Tesori originally was doing the music but Menken replaced her some time back)

No, there isn't any "turth" to this.

Actually, yes, unless something has changed since last month, Murphy is doing the voice of the Witch.

Was this announced somewhere?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Didn't they recast the whole thing? They've done this recently with Bolt and Tinkerbell.

This almost makes me feel better about Mandy Moore replacing Chenoweth. Almost.

Being confirmed on IMDb means pretty much nothing. Anyone can alter IMDb. For a while James Earl Jones was playing Collins in the "Rent" movie.

IMDB has changed a lot since the days of the RENT movie - its a lot more tightly monitored by the actual studios. You might get away with submitting a false name for movie in development, but you wouldn't be able to go in and add Donna Murphy's name to the cast list of a major Disney movie without their approval.

Get Chenowith back involved and this could be a really good project. Love the Murphy/Menken combination.

Moore? No.
