Rapunzel, a long-lost princess, lives isolated in a tower with Gothel, whom she believes is her mother. Gothel had kidnapped Rapunzel when she was a baby because of her magical golden hair that kept her young. She knew Rapunzel's magical hair, if cut, would turn brown and lose its magic. Every year on Rapunzel's birthday, her kingdom sends thousands of lanterns into the sky wishing their lost princess would return. On her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel to let her see the floating lights, but Gothel says no because the world is full of dangers. |

Years prior to the story, the pregnant wife of the king fell gravely ill. To save her, the king and his men searched for a special flower that would heal those injured and sick. Such a flower was in the possession of Gothel, a woman who selfishly hid the flower away to preserve her own youth over the centuries until she was unable to hide it properly in time. Though the flower was used to heal the queen, its magical abilities passed into the newborn princess, Rapunzel. Learning of this, and that the power would fade the moment the girl's golden hair was cut, Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and isolates her in a tower. Since then, every year on Rapunzel's birthday, her kingdom sends thousands of lanterns into the sky wishing their lost princess would return. |

Meanwhile, thieves led by Flynn Rider steal the tiara of the missing princess from the castle and are chased by the kingdom guards. During the chase, the lead guard's horse, Maximus, is separated from his rider and continues the search for Flynn on his own. Flynn outwits his accomplices by taking the tiara; he abandons them and stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower. Once inside the tower, Flynn is knocked unconscious by Rapunzel with a frying pan. She hides Flynn and his satchel. |

Tangled is a 2010 computer-animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The film features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy. The film is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The story is loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" by the Brothers Grimm.[4]
The film was originally titled and marketed as Rapunzel until it was changed to Tangled shortly before its release. It premiered in theatres and in 3D cinemas on November 24, 2010,[5] after six years of production and a budget of $260 million.[2] As of April 20, 2011, it is the most expensive animated feature film and second-most expensive film ever made, behind Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Plot
Years prior to the story, the pregnant wife of the king fell gravely ill. To save her, the king and his men searched for a special flower that would heal those injured and sick. Such a flower was in the possession of Gothel, a woman who selfishly hid the flower away to preserve her own youth over the centuries until she was unable to hide it properly in time. Though the flower was used to heal the queen, its magical abilities passed into the newborn princess, Rapunzel. Learning of this, and that the power would fade the moment the girl's golden hair was cut, Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and isolates her in a tower. Since then, every year on Rapunzel's birthday, her kingdom sends thousands of lanterns into the sky wishing their lost princess would return.
On her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel to let her see the floating lights, only to be turned down as Gothel tells her the world is full of dangers. Meanwhile, a trio of thieves led by Flynn Rider steal the tiara of the missing princess from the castle and are chased by the kingdom guards. During the chase, after ditching the Stabbington Brothers, Flynn finds himself pursued by the lead guard's horse, Maximus, managing to outwit the stallion and stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower. Once inside the tower, Flynn is knocked unconscious by Rapunzel with a frying pan. She hides Flynn and his satchel with intent to prove she can handle herself in the outside world. But after Gothel returns and shoots her down before she could tell her of the captive, Rapunzel tricks Gothel to get her special paint for her birthday instead. With Gothel gone for a three-day journey to bring the gift, Rapunzel makes a deal with Flynn: taking her to the "lights" in exchange for the tiara.
Flynn attempts to make Rapunzel end their journey by taking her to the Snuggly Duckling Parlor to intimidate her with the thugs. Though it back fired with the ruffians intending to get the bounty on Flynn, they are charmed by Rapunzel's dream and help her and Flynn escape from the guards and the revenge-driven Stabbington Brothers, the pursuit ending at the dam which Maximus causes to flood. After Flynn admits his true name on the impression that they're going to die, Rapunzel admits her own secret as she has her hair glow so they can find a way out. Later around a campfire, after revealing each other's stories, Rapunzel heals Flynn's cut with her magic hair. When Flynn goes to gather firewood, Rapunzel is confronted by a disappointed Gothel. Gothel tells Rapunzel that Flynn doesn't care for her, he only wants the tiara; giving her the satchel so Rapunzel can prove her wrong.
The next morning, after Maximus confronts Flynn, Rapunzel befriends the horse and convinces him not to chase after Flynn for a day. The three arrive at the kingdom and Rapunzel learns about the kingdom's tradition while enjoying herself. That night Flynn takes Rapunzel to see the lanterns, receiving the satchel before seeing the Stabbingtons spping him from afar.

Following a revision in the script, the thief's original name, "Bastion," was changed to "Flynn," paying homage to early Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, with whom the character shares similar characteristic traits.[citation needed]
Moore, Levi and Murphy replaced the originally announced voice actors Kristin Chenoweth, Dan Fogler and Grey DeLisle.
Production
According to the Los Angeles Times, Tangled was in development for six years and cost more than $260 million to produce.[2]
Schedule
It had originally been announced in April 2007 that Annie-nominated animator and story artist Dean Wellins would be co-directing the film alongside Glen Keane.[6]
On October 9, 2008, it was reported that Keane and Wellins had stepped down as directors, and were replaced by the team of Byron Howard and Nathan Greno, director and storyboard director, respectively, of Disney's 2008 animated feature Bolt. Keane stayed on as an executive producer and animation supervisor, while Wellins moved on to developing other short and feature films.[7]
Title change
When first put into production, the film was promoted as having the title Rapunzel Unbraided, which was then changed to Rapunzel.[8]
Disney's previous animated feature The Princess and the Frog in 2009, while being well-received by various critics[9] and taking in nearly $270 million worldwide, was not as successful as Disney had hoped.[10] Disney expressed the belief that the film's emphasis on princesses may have deterred young boys from seeing the film.[10]
In order to market the film to both boys and girls, Disney changed the film's name from Rapunzel to Tangled, while also emphasizing Flynn Rider, the film's prominent male character.[10] Disney was criticized for altering the classic title as a marketing strategy. Floyd Norman, a former Disney and Pixar animator and story artist, said, "The idea of changing the title of a classic like Rapunzel to Tangled is beyond stupid. I'm convinced they'll gain nothing from this except the public seeing Disney as desperately trying to find an audience."[11] Justin Chang of Variety compared it to changing to the title of The Little Mermaid to Beached.[12]
On November 24, 2010, the day of the film's release, directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard disputed reports that the title change was a marketing decision. They said they changed the title from Rapunzel to Tangled because Rapunzel is not the only main character in the film. They went on to say that you can't call Toy Story "Buzz Lightyear," and they really needed a title that represented what the film is, and that it’s a duo, and it stars Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.[13]
Animation
The film was made using computer-generated imagery (CGI), although Tangled was modeled on the traditional look of oil paintings on canvas. The Rococo paintings of French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard, particularly The Swing, were used as references for the film's artistic style, a style described by Keane as "romantic and lush."[14] To create the impression of a painting, non-photorealistic rendering has been used.
Glen Keane wanted the film to look and feel like a traditional hand-drawn Disney film in 3D, and held a seminar called "The Best of Both Worlds", where he, with 50 Disney CGI artists and traditional artists, focused on the pros and cons of each style.[15] Due to limitations in computer technology, many basic principles of animation used in traditionally animated movies had been absent from earlier CGI films; but technological advancements have made it easier to blend the two, combining the strengths of each style. Keane stated repeatedly he was trying to make the computer "bend its knee to the artist" instead of having the computer dictate the artistic style and look of the film. By making the computer become as "pliable as the pencil," Keane's vision of a "three dimensional drawing" seemed within reach, with the artist controlling the technology. Many of the techniques and tools that were required to give the film the quality Keane demanded did not exist when the project was started, and Disney Animation Studios had to create them on their own.[14] Keane said, "There’s no photoreal hair. I want luscious hair, and we are inventing new ways of doing that. I want to bring the warmth and intuitive feel of hand-drawn to CGI."[16]
One of the main goals of the animators was to create movement that mimicked the soft fluidity of the hand-drawn art found in older Disney animated films. Keane credited Disney 3D animator Kyle Strawitz with helping to combine CGI with the traditional hand-drawn style. "He took the house from Snow White and built it and painted it so that it looked like a flat painting that suddenly started to move, and it had dimension and kept all of the soft, round curves of the brushstrokes of watercolor. Kyle helped us get that Fragonard look of that girl on the swing… We are using subsurface scattering and global illumination and all of the latest techniques to pull off convincing human characters and rich environments."[14]
Existing CGI technology continued to present difficulties: in particular, animating hair turned out to be a challenge. Senior software engineer Kelly Ward spent six years writing programs to make it move the way they wanted.[17] As late as January 2010, the directors were still not sure if the Rapunzel character's length of hair was going to work. These problems were finally solved in March:[18] An improved version of a hair simulation program named Dynamic Wires, originally developed for Bolt, along with other techniques, had to be invented to make it all possible. To make hair float believably in water, and to surmount other similar challenges, discrete differential geometry was used to produce the desired effects, freeing the animators from executing these specific tasks directly, which would have taken days instead of minutes.[19]
Soundtrack

Original music was composed for the movie by 8-time Academy Award winner Composer Alan Menken with lyrics written by Glenn Slater.[20] Menken said he attempted to blend medieval music with 1960s folk rock to create the new songs.[21]

Several songs were written but eventually cut from the final film; "When Will My Life Begin?" replaced an earlier version called "What More Could I Ever Need?". Menken reported that that opening number went through five or six different versions.[22]
Elsewhere, Menken reported that there was originally a love song called "You Are My Forever" that Mother Gothel sang to Rapunzel in a motherly way but was reprised later in the film by Flynn in a romantic way. This idea was apparently replaced with the two songs "Mother Knows Best" and "I See the Light".[23]
The song "Something That I Want" performed by Grace Potter from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is featured in the closing credits. This version features some of the lyrics that were re-written and sung by Potter herself. The Spanish version of the song, titled "Algo Quiero Querer", was recorded by Colombian pop-singer, Fanny Lú.[24]
The album has peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard 200, No. 7 on the Soundtrack chart, and No. 3 on the Top Kids Albums chart.[25][26][27]
Release
Critical response
Rotten Tomatoes reports that 89% of critics have given Tangled a positive review based on 170 reviews, with an average score of 7.5/10.[28] Among Rotten Tomatoes Top Critics, which consists of popular and notable critics from the top newspapers, websites, television and radio programs, the film holds an overall approval rating of 93%, based on a sample of 29 reviews.[29] The site's consensus is: "While far from Disney's greatest film, Tangled is a visually stunning, thoroughly entertaining addition to the studio's classic animated canon."[28] Another review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score from 0–100 out of reviews from mainstream film critics, calculated a score of 72 based on 33 reviews.[30] CinemaScore polls conducted during the opening weekend revealed the average grade cinemagoers gave Tangled was A+ on an A+ to F scale.[31]
A. O. Scott of The New York Times positively reviewed the film as "the 50th animated feature from Disney, and its look and spirit convey a modified, updated but nonetheless sincere and unmistakable quality of old-fashioned Disneyness."[32] Time film critic Richard Corliss noted that the film "wades into the DreamWorks style of sitcom gags and anachronistic sass" while praising the film for achieving "the complex mix of romance, comedy, adventure and heart that defines the best Disney features."[33] Kenneth Turan from The Los Angeles Times awarded the film four stars out of five; he described the film as a "gorgeous computer-animated look that features rich landscapes and characters that look fuller and more lifelike than they have in the past."[34]
James Berardinelli commented on his review website ReelViews that the film is "entertaining and enjoyable, but not groundbreaking."[35] Berardinelli also stated Rapunzel is "not as memorable as Snow White, Ariel, or Belle" as well as stating "the songs are neither catchy nor memorable."[35] Todd McCarthy, film reviewer for The Hollywood Reporter opened his review with, "It would have been nice if Disney's self-touted 50th animated feature were one of its best, a film that could stand with the studio's classics, but the world will have to make do with Tangled, a passably entertaining hodgepodge of old and new animation techniques, mixed sensibilities and hedged commercial calculations."[36] Most reviews have praised the animation, notably the sky lantern sequence ("I See The Light") in the film, some comparing it to the ballroom scene in Beauty and the Beast.
Quentin Tarantino named Tangled as his fifth favorite film of 2010.[37]
Box-office performance

It premiered in Paris on November 17, exclusively screening at the Grand Rex theatre two weeks in advance of its French wide release.[41] With over 3,800 tickets sold on its opening day, it set a new record for films showing in a single theatre.[42] It had a worldwide opening weekend of $86,079,983.[43][44] Due to a gradual worldwide roll-out and many other blockbuster movies playing at the same time, it reached the summit of the worldwide box office only once, on its 11th weekend (Feb 4-6, 2011), with $24,884,871 from 49 territories.[45][46]
North America
In the United States and Canada, Tangled picked up $11.9 million on its opening Wednesday,[47] breaking the record for the largest pre-thanksgiving Wednesday opening of all time, a record previously held by Disney·Pixar's Toy Story 2.[48] In its first weekend of release, it earned $48.8 million, placing second for the period behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, which earned $49.1 million.[49] Over the traditional Wednesday-Sunday Thanksgiving holiday period, it tallied $68.7 million, again finishing in second place.[49] Tangled also marked the second-largest 3-day and 5-day Thanksgiving opening after Toy Story 2.[49] During its second weekend (post-Thanksgiving weekend), which was one of the lowest-grossing of 2010, Tangled declined 56% although it jumped to first place at the box office with $21.6 million, ahead of the new release The Warrior's Way and surpassing Deathly Hallows Part 1's weekend gross by a wide margin.[50] On its third weekend, it fell only 34% with a $14.3 million gross, having the smallest decline among films playing nationwide, but dropping to third place behind The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ($24.0 million) and The Tourist ($16.5 million).[51] On its fiftieth day of release, with $176,697,860, it out-grossed The Karate Kid to become the 10th highest-grossing film of 2010 in these regions and the fifth highest-grossing animated feature on that list.[52] In the USA and Canada, (unadjusted for inflation) it is the third highest-grossing film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, behind The Lion King ($328.5 million) and Aladdin ($217.4 million).[53]

Merchandising
Like other recent Disney animated features, Tangled is supported in retail stores by a line of toys and other merchandise.[85] Many of the Rapunzel dolls emphasize her hair, while some also include sound clips from the film. Toys based on other characters, including Flynn Rider, Pascal and Maximus, have also been released. Rapunzel is yet to be included as an official Disney Princess. However, she already appears in numerous books and doll sets.
A video game based on the film, titled Tangled: The Video Game was released on November 23, 2010 for the two Nintendo consoles Nintendo DS and Wii by Disney Interactive Studios.[86]
Home media
Tangled was released as a four-disc combo pack on March 29, 2011. The combo pack includes a 3D Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copy. A two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and single DVD are also available. Bonus features for the Blu-ray include deleted scenes, two alternate opening sequences, two extended songs, and an inside look at how the film was made. The DVD includes only the two Original Storybook Openings and the 50th Animated Feature Countdown.
Sales of Tangled in the U.S and Canada exceeded $80 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales, the highest grossing DVD of the year to date; its home video sales exceeded the film's earnings in its first week in theaters.[87] The film sold a record 3,290,598 units (the equivalent of $49,326,064) in its first week in North America, the largest opening for a 2011 DVD. It dominated for two weeks on the DVD sales chart and sold 5,833,614 units ($89,113,228) as of May 1, 2011.[88]
Future
In a recent interview, Nathan Greno revealed that he and Byron Howard, both of whom co-directed Tangled, are working on a new short set in the Tangled world.[89]
This is kind of new information that we haven’t really told the press yet, but the studio has asked us to do a Tangled short. Based on the success of the film, they want to see more of the characters - We have come up with a story for a short that we believe is great and really funny,” he added. "Again, it’s kind of a big action short. It’s all the stuff you loved from the movie kind of packed into this little five or six-minute short. It’s going to be a good time. Maximus, Pascal and everybody, they are all back."
The Tangled short will be finished by the end of 2011, though a release date has yet to be announced.[citation needed]
