Everything's come full circle for Mandy Moore.
At an event in New York City for the release of her new Disney movie Tangled, Moore spilled about a certain mermaid who had a huge influence on her, and how she plans to, one day, watch Tangled with her own kids:
So who was it that got the musical ball rolling in Mandy's life?
"I grew up wanting to be [Little Mermaid's] Ariel! I think she was one of my biggest influences too, in terms of I really wanted to start singing because of her."
Mandy's also sure she'll be sharing her Disney adventure with future Tangled fans.
"I'm a married lady, and one day, I will definitely have a family. When you do a film like this, I think that thought crosses your mind--that one day you'll be able to show your kids that you were in an animated Disney film!"
