+Mae Lavern Sibayan Yes except for the Cher look a like hair color. I was brought here because I think Donna would be good as Velma in NBC's upcoming production of Hairspray.
I think Disney does this thing where they implement features of the voice actors in their animated characters. You can see this in Pixar characters as well.
Glad to know talent and ability to act with the voice is getting back into Disney/Pixar's repertoire. I was ecstatic hearing Donna Murphy was doing Gothel. She's more known for her stage work than in films but she did not disappoint! Brava!
Donna was cheesy yet darkly comic as Gothel in Tangled! I can't even believe it's been five years since I first saw the movie. She would be good to play another mommy dearest as Velma Von Tussle in NBC's upcoming Hairspray Live.
her entire charm ( looks, voice, demeanour ) stems from her irish, french, german AND CZECH ancestry.. I knew there was something with her.. anyone with czech roots even the smallest bit always enhances one´s abilities and charms drastically.. I´m so glad and proud..
if i don't see this woman on broadway one day, i don't know what i'll do with my life. donna's stunning and incredible as an actor, singer and a person.
You know, until this movie came out, I actually had no idea at ALL about the story of Rapunzel, sure I knew she was famous for her long hair, but that's about it.
Donna Murphy is a musical theatre star. That's why she was cast in Tangled -- because UNLIKE Mandy Moore & Zachary Levi, she performs in musicals for a living.
i didnt think that her voice sounded excatly like mother gothel until i wasnt looking at the video then you can realllllly tell :) She did so good and looks so young I can't believe that she is in her 50's
bite your tongue. Gothel is awesome. So rare to find a villain with an actual sense of humour and who's actually funny and scary. How can you hate gothel????????
Manuel Orozco Speaking of the Evil Queen (or Grimhilde), I hope Square DOES make a boss fight against Gothel, unlike what they did with her in Birth By Sleep. She could play out similar to Oogie Boogie, pulling all the dummies she used in "Mother Knows Best" or summon Heartless.
Absolutely love Donna Murphy! @jonathan55751 lol, that's the only Star Trek movie I've seen besides JJ Abrams, and I love it! Lol, I doubt I'll see any others before JJ Abrams, other than that one.
Follow me here a moment who believes that gothel wanted the flower only because it gave her youthful appearance again so she was vain or did she want it because being youthful would allow her to live forever or at least not die of old age So did gothel want the flower just to regain her youth or for immortality
She was absolutely brilliant in the film tangled, she has such an amazing voice and sings amazingly, my all time favourite disney villain! :)
I want her to be Siri 2.0 .
Beautiful voice! So soothing and relaxing.
I just saw Ms. Murphy today in a little movie called Center Stage where she played a ballet teacher.
Word..when is her Tangled Tibetan Yoga or Meditation CD coming out am I right?
She looks EXACTLY like Mother Gothel. This is so cool.

I want her to do audiobooks
Well that IS the voice!
Yep
Her voice is just so wonderful!
SHE CAN STILL PLAY AS MOTHER GOTHEL IF DISNEY WILL MAKE A LIVE ACTION!
Even if the accent was fake, I can picture Gothel on the screen saying this stuff.
She is very lovely. Mother Gothel became one of my favorite Disney villains after I watched this with my friend.

I JUST LOOOVE HER VOICE!!!!
before i saw tangled, i never thought she's got this much talent. she was REALLY under used in Spider-Man 2, as Doc Ock's wife.

Never imagined that wicked witch had such a sweet woman behind her, amazing film.
If I were Donna Murphy's son, I'd ask her to sing "Mother Knows Best" to her grandkids.
ahahahahaha yep.
I thought cher played mother gothel 😂
I could sleep with her talking...Great actor and singer!!!!!!!
I didn't know that Rapunzel's Fake Mother was Doctor Octopus' Dead Wife
"My Rosie is dead..."
Oh no Doc, she's just hidden in a tower with a magic girl rejuvenating herself forever lol
Donna is Ah-MA-Zing in ths film. It's interesting how most Disney movies cast women as the villian. Almost all!
Her voice is so soothing.
She has a lovely speaking voice, wow.
She's amazingggg!
What a beautiful Voice!
Skip the drama, stay with mama~~~
she also is a two time tony winner for her work in Passion and King and I, although i too first saw her as rosie octavious
Just looked her up and she's 53 years old? Really? She is absolutely gorgeous!!! She doesn't look a day over 40 AT MOST. Wow.
That's Rosie Octavius from Spider-Man 2
Rudy House That's right
Omg. That is her. I didn't even recognize her.
No way! I didn’t even recognise her!
Nothing can top the complexity of this mother daughter relationship and how sophisticated is the way she portrayed her
Say WHAT?! I didn't know she was the voice of the mother from Tangled....she's amazing!
I love her singing.
Donna Murphy is so awesome...
Donna Murphy did such a good job at playing Gothel, that I had nightmares about that creep.
if i don't see this woman on broadway one day, i don't know what i'll do with my life. donna's stunning and incredible as an actor, singer and a person.
She did an amazing job as Mother Gothel!
It's Dr. Octavius' wife, Rosie!

WAOW!!!! U act, sing, speak beautifully and R ab-so-lutly GORGEOUS : D man!!! n then that VOICE, whew! U go gurl : D
I would LOVE to see a video of her singing the "rapunzel knows best" or at least side by side with the scene
She rocks
I think this girl is amazing looking
Such a lovely looking woman couldn't possibly be the voice of such a crazy woman!
bite your tongue. Gothel is awesome. So rare to find a villain with an actual sense of humour and who's actually funny and scary. How can you hate gothel????????
She gotta do her in KH3 as well. She has to. Gothel is basically a mix of Ursula and Frollo.
You're right about the villain comparison and Snow White's wicked stepmother

Al Jerico Actually I don't do Kingdom Hearts because they scare me
Manuel Orozco Huh ??? I don't understand.
Al Jerico I mean Kingdom Hearts scares me
Lord she is good looking
She's beautiful asf. I wanna marry her.
Yes! She was Anij in Star Trek: Insurrection! :)
YAY YAY YAY she was :D
Mother Gothel is my most favorite Disney villain ever!
yeah her career has been amazing! I meant that I wanted to see her for myself on broadway ;)
OMG I adore RENT! *high-five*
Flower gleam and glow
cruella de vil has always been no 1 villain but now it's mother gothel!
May I ask for a hug from her?
Talk to your mother...Cause Mother Knows best.
Absolutely love Donna Murphy! @jonathan55751 lol, that's the only Star Trek movie I've seen besides JJ Abrams, and I love it! Lol, I doubt I'll see any others before JJ Abrams, other than that one.
mother gothel is my fav villain ever!! =D
no, she's doing the musical in NYC
no doubt she knows best
The first time i saw the movie, I tought gothel's Voice was Carice
@SapphireAngel003 Donna is actually 52 years old. She will be 53 years old on March 7, 2012.
reminds me of tori amos' speaking voice
3:40 "...and tell a few other stories intertwined"
What could she be talking about? 🤔 What are the other stories, I wonder?
I know!!!
OMG ME TOO!
*gasp* They're making a movie of Into The Woods?
Eyup me too

well, voice actors don't have to perform in musical theatre to be good, you know.
she talks slow
Key-Ristmas.How boring. She just voiced one of the best female villians EVER. She could have shown a little more excitement. Just my 2 cents.
