Short description

When the kingdom's most wanted-and most charming-bandit Flynn Rider hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel, a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for her ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs.

What's left behind the scenes

Computer engineer Kelly Ward (one of three specialists who worked on the program to simulate the hair movement of Rapunzel and other characters in the film) defended a dissertation on computer animation of hair and has been deeply involved in this subject for the past 10 years. She is considered one of the leading experts in this field.
The film's captivating climax unfolds against a horizon filled with glowing lanterns. Each lantern contains a separate painted flame consisting of 10,000 small beams of light. One frame contained 46,000 lanterns, therefore – 460 million beams of light!
The film's thrilling climax unfolds against a horizon filled with floating lanterns. Each lantern contains an individual painted fire consisting of 10,000 small light beams. A single frame contained 46,000 lanterns—meaning 460 million light beams!
The thick fog enveloping Rapunzel and Mother Gothel reflects Gothel's intention to cloud Rapunzel's mind.
To convey the movement of the hair on screen, a special program called Dynamic Wires was developed. Previously, no one in animation had ever had to render such a vast amount of hair, and no female lead in cinema history had ever worn such a luxurious hairstyle.
The film "Tangled" features five main characters, 21 thugs, and 38 townspeople. For the climactic lantern scene, the visual effects artists were tasked with populating the screen with 3,000 townspeople. This is the largest mass scene in the history of Disney computer animation.
Both directors – Byron Howard and Nathan Greno – dreamed of becoming animators since they visited the Disney animation studio at Disney World. Before getting a job at the studio, Howard worked as a tour guide and spent hours watching the animators work through the glass from the street.
Today, Byron Howard and Nathan Greno are rising stars in animation, bright representatives of a new generation of directors. Howard directed the animated adventure comedy “Bolt,” released by Walt Disney Animation in 2008, which grossed over $300 million worldwide. “Bolt” was nominated for two Golden Globes (for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Song) and an Oscar (for Best Animated Feature Film). Greno has been with the studio for 14 years; he participated in the creation of “Mulan,” “Brother Bear,” and “Meet the Robinsons.” In the animated film “Bolt,” he was the head of the story team.
During the making of the film, ten women from the creative team started growing their hair. Later, they all had their hair cut and donated it to an organization that makes wigs for people who have lost their hair due to illness.
When Mother Gothel stabs Eugene with a knife, there is not a drop of blood on it.
When Eugene is led to execution, handcuffs are visible on him. But when he is rescued, the handcuffs magically disappear.
The waterfall and turbulent stream near the tower were modeled after rivers and waterfalls in Yosemite National Park in California. The senior special effects artist traveled there for two days and shot over 150 videos of the natural scenery. Artists relied on these videos in their work, choosing the best locations and angles. To draw the waterfall requires drawing over 10 million individual droplets.
The cartoon is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel".
Claire Keene, an artist and daughter of senior animator Glen Keene, conceptualized and drew the frescoes on the walls of Rapunzel's tower. While developing the character of Rapunzel, Glen gave her some of his daughter's traits, including her stubborn nature and tendency to paint on the walls.
“Tangled” is the 50th full-length animated film from Walt Disney Pictures.
The attraction "Grizzly River Run" at the Disneyland theme park in California served as inspiration for the scene where a river current breaks through a wooden dam. In the final dam-break scene, 23 million virtual gallons of painted water are unleashed onto the screen.

The creators of the film played over 2,000 races in "Mario Kart" to avoid going crazy from the intense work.
Rapunzel’s golden hair is 70 feet (over 21 meters) long and consists of more than 100,000 individual strands.
The correct stress in the name “Rapunzel” falls on the second syllable: RapUnzel.

Today, Byron Howard and Nathan Greno are rising stars of animation and prominent representatives of a new generation of directors. Howard directed the adventure animated comedy 'Bolt,' released by Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2008, which grossed over $300 million worldwide. 'Bolt' was nominated for two Golden Globes (Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song) and an Oscar (Best Animated Feature Film). Greno has been with the studio for 14 years, having worked on 'Mulan,' 'Brother Bear,' and 'Meet the Robinsons.' In the animated film 'Bolt,' he served as the head of the writing team.
The average hair length on a head is 30 cm. If you were to line up all this hair end to end, it would stretch for 26 miles (41.6 km). And if you were to line up all of Rapunzel's hair end to end, it would stretch for 1820 miles (2912 km).
