Long ago in the Kingdom of Corona, the King and Queen bore a beautiful baby daughter, whose birth culminated a tumultuous yet glorious period. Concerning the latter decision, Lasseter said, “I didn’t want people to rush to categorize it-‘Oh, that’s one of those Disney musicals.’” (5)Ĭoupled with strong critical reviews, these decisions contributed to a successful theatrical run for Tangled. As the mediocre box office performance of The Princess and the Frog (2009) was believed to be caused by that film’s obvious princess story not appealing to boys, Disney changed the name of its upcoming film from the overt “Rapunzel” to the covert “Tangled” and deemphasized the film’s significant musical element. I will never believe that.” (4)ĭisney took a pair of gambles in marketing its new feature. Some people believe audiences today have grown past what is classic Disney storytelling, that they have become too cynical for it. Lasseter said, “This film is as good as a Pixar film, but it’s classic Disney, and I love that: heart, humor, beauty, music, wonderment, the love story. (3)ĭisney Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter exuded much enthusiasm for Tanged prior to its release. (2) Keane, however, suffered a heart attack and was unable to direct the film his role was filled by the duo of Byron Howard and Nathan Greno.
Keane was initially infuriated at the proposed departure from hand-drawn animation but acquiesced upon encouragement from then-Disney Animation President David Stanton. Keane’s concept, originally entitled “Rapunzel Unbraided,” was approved in February 2003 with the caveat that the film be computer animated. Tangled was the brainchild of Disney animator Glen Keane, who created Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989) and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast (1991).
It is golden anniversary time! Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “Rapunzel,” Tangled was theatrically released on Novemas the fiftieth full length animated feature in Disney history, an occasion acknowledged through the Walt Disney Animation Studios card prior to the movie.Īt 100 minutes in length, Tangled was Disney’s longest animated feature since Fantasia (1940), which clocked in at 126 minutes.
