Tangled is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" in the collection of folk tales published by the Brothers Grimm, it is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classicsseries. Featuring the voices of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi,[4]  the film tells the story of a lost, young princess with long magical hair who yearns to leave her secluded tower. Against her mother's wishes, she accepts the aid of a handsome intruder to take her out into the world which she has never seen.

Before the film's release, its title was changed from Rapunzel to Tangled, reportedly to market the film as gender-neutral.[2]  Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million, which if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated film ever made and the fifth most-expensive film of all time. The film employed a unique artistic style by blending together features of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and traditional animation while using non-photorealistic rendering to create the impression of a painting. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney animated features, returned to score Tangled.

Tangled premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 14, 2010, and went into general release on November 24. The film was well received by critics and audiences alike. The film earned $591 million in worldwide box office revenue,[3]  $200 million of which was earned in the United States and Canada. The film was nominated for a number of awards, including Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 29, 2011; A sequel, Tangled Ever After, was released later in 2012. A television series will premiere in 2017. A second sequel is in development.[5]

Plot
Long ago, a drop of sunlight became a golden flower capable of healing illness, decay and injury. For hundreds of years the flower is used by Mother Gothel to retain her youth until it is discovered by soldiers of a nearby kingdom, Corona. They use the flower to heal their ailing queen, who soon afterwards gives birth to Princess Rapunzel. While attempting to recover the flower, Gothel discovers that Rapunzel's hair has the flower's healing properties. However, attempting to take just the hair by cutting a piece from it destroys its power, and so she kidnaps Rapunzel and raises her as her own daughter in an isolated tower. Once a year, the King and Queen release sky lanterns on Rapunzel's birthday, hoping for their daughter's return.

Nearing her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel for permission to leave the tower and discover the source of the lanterns, but Gothel refuses, telling her that the outside world is a dangerous place. Elsewhere, a thief known as Flynn Rider has stolen Rapunzel's crown from the kingdom and inadvertently discovers the tower after ditching his cohorts, the Stabbington brothers. Rapunzel captures Flynn and discovers the crown, but is unaware of its significance. Rapunzel plans to show Flynn to Gothel in order to prove she can take care of herself, but when Gothel becomes enraged at Rapunzel's insistent desire to leave, she asks for a special paint that will take Gothel three days' round trip to obtain and return. Gothel agrees and departs. Rapunzel convinces Flynn to escort her to see the lanterns in exchange for the crown.

During their excursion, Flynn takes Rapunzel to the Snuggly Duckling, a pub filled with the frightening people Gothel warned Rapunzel about, but who instead are charmed by Rapunzel's innocence. When the royal soldiers appear searching for Flynn, the pub regulars help the pair escape. The soldiers give chase, led by Maximus, one of the lead horses in the royal army, and locate them at a dam. The dam is inadvertently breached, and the resulting deluge traps Flynn and Rapunzel in a flooding cave. Fearing this is the end, Flynn reveals his real name is Eugene Fitzherbert. Rapunzel starts to reveal that her hair glows when she sings – but then realizes that this is their key to escape, as her hair provides enough light to find a way out of the cave. Eugene and Rapunzel take refuge in a forest where Gothel, now in league with the Stabbingtons, gives the crown to Rapunzel and suggests using it to challenge Eugene's interest in her.

The next morning, Maximus finds the pair and tries to capture Eugene, but Rapunzel arranges a truce in honor of her birthday. The group reaches the kingdom and enjoys the festivities, culminating in an evening cruise as the lanterns are released. There, Rapunzel gives Eugene the crown. When he sees the Stabbingtons on the shore, Eugene leaves Rapunzel and intends to let them have the crown. Instead, the brothers tie Eugene onto a boat and confront Rapunzel, claiming Eugene is escaping with the crown. Gothel then stages a rescue by betraying the brothers and returns Rapunzel to the tower as Eugene and the Stabbingtons are arrested by the royal guards.

Back at the tower, Rapunzel recognizes the symbol of the kingdom, which she had subconsciously incorporated into her paintings over the years. Realizing that she is the long-lost princess, she confronts Gothel. As Eugene is being led to execution, he is rescued by the Snuggly Duckling regulars and carried back to Gothel's tower by Maximus. Eugene enters the tower by climbing Rapunzel's hair, only to find Rapunzel bound with chains and gagged with a handkerchief. Gothel then stabs him with a knife and attempts to leave with a struggling Rapunzel. Rapunzel agrees to lifelong captivity if she is allowed to heal Eugene, but before she has the chance to save him, Eugene slices off her hair, turning it from golden blonde to brown and destroying its magic. Gothel's age rapidly catches up to her, and she falls from the tower, disintegrating into dust. As Eugene dies, a heartbroken Rapunzel's tear, which still contains a bit of the sun's power, lands on his cheek and restores his life. The two return to the kingdom, where Rapunzel is re-united with her parents. The kingdom breaks out in celebration and Eugene is pardoned for his crimes. Rapunzel and Eugene eventually marry.

Origins and conception
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Glen Keane, the film's original director, first began working on the story for what became Tangled about 14 years prior to its release, then directed the film's development from 2002 to 2008.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ColliderKeaneInterview_10-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[10]  In October 2003, the film was announced as Rapunzel Unbraided,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-WSJComputerAge_11-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[11] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-nusairrapunzeladapted_12-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[12]  as a computer animated feature scheduled for a 2007 release<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-WSJComputerAge_11-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[11] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[13]  which Keane described as "a Shrek-like version of the film"<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-christiantodaykeane_14-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[14]  that revolved around an entirely different concept. Keane said of the original plot, "It was a fun, wonderful, witty version and we had a couple of great writers. But in my heart of hearts I believed there was something much more sincere and genuine to get out of the story, so we set it aside and went back to the roots of the original fairy tale."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-beliefnetkeane_15-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[15]  In November 2005, Unbraided was pushed back to a summer 2009 release in order to give Keane "more time to work on the story."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[16]  According to Ed Catmull, at one point Michael Eisner himself had proposed using modern-daySan Francisco as the initial setting at the start of the film and then somehow transporting the heroine into a fairy tale world, but Keane could not make that idea work.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CreativityInc271_17-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[17]  The film was shut down about a week before Catmull and John Lasseter were placed in charge of the studio in January 2006, and one of their first decisions was to restart the project and ask Keane to keep going with the film.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-CreativityInc271_17-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[17]  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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-18" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[18]  On October 9, 2008, it was reported that Keane and Wellins had stepped down as directors due to other commitments, 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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-KeaneOut_19-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[19]  After the film's release, Keane revealed that he had "stepped back" from the role of director because of a heart attack in 2008.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ColliderKeaneInterview_10-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[10]

Writing and character development
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">When asked about the character of Rapunzel, Moore said that Rapunzel was a relatable character and called her a "Renaissance, bohemian" woman<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]  rather than a typical Disney princess:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-mtvaug27_21-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[21]  "She doesn't know she's a princess [until the end of the film]. She's just really sort of motivated to find out what else is out there beyond this crazy tower she's lived in for 18 years," and that "she's very independent, she can take care of herself, and she's definitely come up with really entertaining ways to keep herself busy.".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-mtvaug27_21-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[21]  Moore also stated that she herself had little influences on Rapunzel: "The character was developed way before I had anything to do with it."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]

Production
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">On September 10, 2009, it was announced that actress and singer-songwriter Mandy Moore had been cast as the voice of Rapunzel, and actor Zachary Levi would provide the voice of Flynn Rider.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-slashsep10_6-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[6] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-fletchersep10_7-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[7] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[22]  Mandy Moore approached the project through auditioning, when she heard that a film about the story of Rapunzel was being made.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-canov2010_23-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[23]  Moore later expressed that she had dreamed to be a Disney princess since she was young and said that with the role of Rapunzel, she had fulfilled her "ultimate childhood dream".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-kidzworld_24-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[24]  She described herself as a "girly fan" of Disney classics<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-kidzworld_24-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[24]  like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin andThe Lion King, and that it was an honor for her to be part of this "legacy" – the lineage of such Disney icons.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-collider_25-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[25]  Since the film was going to be a musical, it was required that all auditionees had to read several scenes and perform a song of their choice, to ensure that the voice actors could both act and sing.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-eonline_26-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[26] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-girl.com.au_27-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[27]  For this singing section, Moore chose "Help Me" by Joni Mitchell,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-3" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]  a song that she herself had covered on her fourth studio album, Coverage (2003).<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-coverageallmusic_28-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[28] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-moorecoveragebillboard_29-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[29]  Moore revealed that she had to attend several audition sessions<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-collider_25-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[25] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-eonline_26-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[26]  and described the experiences as "pretty fun" but didn't put much hope in getting the part because she believed there would be much competition for this role;<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-canov2010_23-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[23]  she just performed her best without any anxiety.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-4" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]  When she received a callback from Disney telling that she got the part, Moore described herself as being "over the moon": "I was working in New York at the time. I was with some friends and my husband – and I screamed as soon as I found out the news."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-5" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The film reportedly cost more than $260 million to produce.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-LATimes_2-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[2]

Recording
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In Tangled, as with most animated films, all voice actors had to record their dialogue separately from one another to avoid bleeding into each other's tracks.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-movieweb_30-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[30] Mandy Moore later recalled that during recording, she had never met Donna Murphy and only met Zachary Levi once when they recorded "I See the Light".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-movieweb_30-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[30] Moore thought that this was "a good exercise in employing your imagination".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-about.com_31-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[31]  When recording action scenes, the voice actors had to jog a little in place in order to make their voices sound realistic.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-about.com_31-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[31]  For the songs, Moore and Levi recorded on a soundstage with a 65-piece orchestra under the supervision of composer Alan Menken. They sang live with the orchestra for several times in order to help everyone "get a vibe" and a feel for the music and the singing, then were asked to go in isolation booths to record the actual tracks.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-mouseclub_32-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[32] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-33" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[33]  In order to aid animators in animating the characters, the filmmakers did interviews with the voice actors and filmed their facial expressions throughout the recording sessions.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-about.com_31-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[31]  Disney animated films are usually animated to synchronize with recorded dialogue rather than asking the vocal talent to synchronize their delivery to animation after it is rendered. Thus, Moore felt that the recording process was challenging because at that time she had no animation to look at except for a few sketches.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-huffpostoct19_20-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[20]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Due to scheduling conflicts with other projects (Moore had to travel to different places like London or New York, and Levi could only record on weekends for five hours once every six weeks), they did not necessarily record dialogue in the same order as in the final film. "[When I came in], maybe that sequence or scene had been recorded by Mandy (Moore) already, maybe it hadn't. We'd end up doing the same scene five times, depending," Levi said.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-girl.com.au_27-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[27]  After watching the finished film, Moore was disappointed because she felt that her voice sounded "shrill", while Levi thought that his performance sounded "incredibly nasally".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-about.com_31-3" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[31]

Animation
The Swing by Jean-Honoré Fragonard.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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-Honoré Fragonard, particularly The Swing, were used as references for the film's artistic style, a style described by Keane as "romantic and lush."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AWNDisneyLegacy3D_34-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[34]  The Swing is also used in the movie Frozen. To create the impression of a painting, non-photorealistic rendering was used.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="line-height:1;font-size:11.2px;white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed] A concept rendering of Rapunzel by Lisa Keene, demonstrating the "luscious golden hair" Keane wanted.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-35" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[35]  Due to limitations in computer technology, especially regarding attempts to capture the complexity of a human form, 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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-WSJComputerAge_11-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[11]  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 Walt Disney Animation Studios had to create them on their own.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AWNDisneyLegacy3D_34-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[34]  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."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AWNDisneyPastPresent_36-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[36]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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 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 usingsubsurface scattering and global illumination and all of the latest techniques to pull off convincing human characters and rich environments."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AWNDisneyLegacy3D_34-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[34]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Existing 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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-37" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[37]  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:<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-38" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[38]  An improved version of a hair simulation program named Dynamic Wires, originally developed forBolt, was eventually used. 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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-39" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[39]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Rather than focusing on realism, the 3D team used an aesthetic approach. Robert Newman, the film’s stereoscopic supervisor said that "We’re using depth more artistically than ever before, and we’re not as concerned with the literal transcription of depth between camera and projector as we are the interpretation of it." To do this, they used a new technique called multi-rigging, which is made up of multiple pairs of virtual cameras. Each pair is used individually on each separate element that adds depth to a scene, like background, foreground and characters, without adjusting for the relation with the other pairs. When sandwiched together later in production, the result was something that would be visually impossible in the real world, but which created an appealing look to the film.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-40" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[40]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">As a counterpart to the appealing and cute design of Rapunzel,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-GirlHowardGrenoInterview_41-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[41]  the directors wanted to make Flynn Rider "the most handsome, most attractive male lead Disney has ever had."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-SRDisneyHunk_42-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[42]  They held a large "Hot Man Meeting" where they gathered about 30 women from the studio and asked them what they considered attractive in a man.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TelegraphTangledDirectors_43-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[43]  They brought in hundreds of images of their favourite male actors and celebrities, which were torn and pasted back again.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TelegraphTangledDirectors_43-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[43] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Disney11Things_44-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[44]  After much deliberation, his look was eventually narrowed down to one concept drawing.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-SRDisneyHunk_42-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[42] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-TelegraphTangledDirectors_43-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[43]

Music and soundtrack
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;"> <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The original score for the film was composed by Alan Menken with lyrics written by Glenn Slater.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ColliderMenkenInterview_47-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[47]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Menken said he attempted to blend medieval music with 1960s folk rock to create the new songs.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Hammond_48-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[48]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-49" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[49]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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 Rider in a romantic way. This idea was apparently replaced with the two songs "Mother Knows Best" and "I See the Light".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-50" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[50]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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 Latin American Spanish version of the song, titled "Algo quiero querer", was recorded by Colombian pop-singer, Fanny Lú.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-51" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[51]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">The soundtrack peaked at number 44 on the Billboard 200, number 7 on the Soundtrack chart, and number 3 on theKid Albums chart.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-billboard200_52-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[52] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-billboardsound_53-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[53] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-billboardkids_54-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[54]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-nytimes1_91-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[91]  Time film critic Richard Corliss wrote that Tangled "wades into the DreamWorksstyle 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."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Time1_92-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[92]  Corliss included Tangled at 19 in a list of top 25 All-time Best Animated films.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-93" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[93]  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."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-LATimes3_94-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[94]  Sandie Angulo Chen of Common Sense Media gave the film five out of five stars, writing, "Fantastic princess adventure is fun, with great messages."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-95" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[95]  Gael Cooper of NBC News expressed that Tangled may be the best Disney film of all time.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-nbc1_96-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[96]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">James Berardinelli commented on his review website ReelViews that the film is "entertaining and enjoyable, but not groundbreaking."

Music
<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Music in the film received mixed reviews.

He described the opener, "When Will My Life Begin?," as the "heroine's 'I wanna' song," a Disney tradition that stretches back to Snow White's "Some Day My Prince Will Come." "I See the Light" was described as "a generically tuneful love ballad, which is sure to be nominated for a Best Song Oscar."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Time1_92-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[92]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">James Berardinelli, on the other hand, negatively commented the songs as "neither catchy nor memorable."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ReelViews_97-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[97]  Tim Robey from The Daily Telegraph gave a negative review, saying that they were only "OK – there’s nothing you want to whistle on the way home."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-telegraph12_101-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[101]  Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian, who gave the movie two out of five star, described the songs as "sporting a laboured selection of Broadway-style showtunes," and hence are actually added for profit.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Guardian_1_102-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[102]

Title change controversy
Unofficial logo of Rapunzel, before it was changed to Tangled.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">When first put into production, the film was promoted as having the title Rapunzel Unbraided, which was later changed toRapunzel.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-103" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[103]  Disney's previous animated feature The Princess and the Frog in 2009, while being well-received by various critics<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-104" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[104]  and taking in nearly $270 million worldwide, was not as successful as Disney had hoped. Catmull would later admit in writing that Disney Animation's faith that the The Princess and the Frog ' s excellent quality would bring in all audiences notwithstanding the word "princess" in the title was their version of "a stupid pill."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-105" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[105]  In order to market the film to both sexes and additional age groups, Disney changed the film's name from Rapunzel to Tangled while also emphasizing Flynn Rider, the film's prominent male character, showing that his story is just as important as Rapunzel's.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-LATimes2_106-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[106]  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."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-107" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[107]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Justin Chang of Variety compared it to changing the title of The Little Mermaid to Beached.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-108" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[108]  Writing for the San Francisco Chronicle's blog, Margot Magowan accused Disney of sexism, writing, "Can you imagine if Disney...switched a movie title so it wouldn't risk highlighting a male star? It's awful that this kind of radical gender discrimination exists for our smallest people – little kids who come into this world with huge imaginations and aspirations, big dreams that get squashed by a bunch of billionaire guys who run massive entertainment franchises."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Magowan_109-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[109]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">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 cannot callToy 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.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-110" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[110]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In March 2014, executive producer John Lasseter explained that Disney had changed the name to improve the film's appeal to the four quadrants: "There was an audience perception that these movies were just for little girls[,] but when boys, men, whatever actually see these movies[,] they like them. So on Rapunzel ... we changed the name and we called it Tangled. We did marketing that made the people who would not normally show up say, 'Hey, this looks pretty good.'"<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ChristopherWilliams_111-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:isolate;font-size:11.2px;font-weight:normal;">[111]
