They replace the original voice actors Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. Croft has gained recognition for her role in the Titans series, while Manheim is known for his part in the Zombies franchise and his appearance on Dancing With the Stars. The role of Mother Gothel remains unfilled after Scarlett Johansson's exit, with Michael Gracey directing and Jennifer Kaytin Robinson penning the script. After mixed reactions to other live-action adaptations, Disney appears to be revitalizing its strategy, riding on the success of recent titles.
