It actually pales in comparison to the others the UD members gave.

Actually I did have a problem with that for Aladdin, but that was a comedy more than a traditional fairy tale, something I also dislike, but it was still not as far as what they have done with Rapunzel. Action princess, king and queen parents, bandit, who knows what else since the big second half of the film is her adventures out of the tower with the bandit instead of her being in the desert with twins or alone or wherever it was the original tale had her.
Oh, and you must have missed when I said I wished The Princess and the Frog had not ever been, and instead they just did The Frog Prince, traditionally, with just some comedy, and maybe have a Germanic King and Queen adopt an African girl. Yes, quite different and unusual, but kind of cool and new, it is supposed to be a fairy tale which have unusual elements like that, and still not nearly as different as they made the whole thing Post subject: Posted: Tue Dec 15, am.
Rapunzel looks fairly traditional to me. Even with all the changes. Post subject: Posted: Tue Dec 15, pm. PatrickvD wrote: Rapunzel looks fairly traditional to me.
Rapunzel comes across as the most traditional movie they have done since Beauty and the Beast, with it being set in German styled forests, evil queens, goodlooking princess and bandits.
I hope mother Gothel has some minions or a dark animal at her side like Maleficant's raven Post subject: Rapunzel Posted: Tue Dec 15, pm. Technically incorrect. It wasn't one of the original Arabian Nights tales told by Queen Scheherazade. It was actually added to the collection by Antoine Galland. Disney Duster wrote: But anyway, this may be the most traditional thing in a while, but we've never had the original setup or premise of the story so changed, the very positions of the characters.
What is it with you on "traditional" and "faithfulness"? We hardly have much news on this movie and you're already declaring it such drastic unfaithfulness?
Disney Duster wrote: If this really is set in a German-like setting, however, then that is better, and makes me more hopeful! Judging from your previous post on Princess and Frog and this quote, it seems like you're only into traditional European fairy tales.
Also, I hear from many people before mistaking changes done by Disney previous films like thinking Pinocchio was actually a friendly character, or that Ariel really did live happy ever after. Rapunzel won't be any different. Disney Duster wrote: I am only saying they have gone the farthest from the original source this time around. Don't you think they are making those changes because they want to make a 1,5 hour movie? I mean, there's a difference between a fairytale in bookform and having an animated feature film that needs to have story arcs for all of it's characters.
I'm sure that the changes made to the story are made with the best interest to the original but also because they are VERY necesarry. They have struggled with this fairytale for years, and I'd rather have them mix it up so it's turned into a story that fits then not have the story turned into a movie at all Jungle Book.
You just have to go see it. These five elements work together amazingly to create an enjoyable movie-going experience. It was made for kids. It was corny sometimes.
It had songs. It was a musical. It became a musical on Broadway. I think the best explanation for these complaints is that those of us who grew up in the Disney Renaissance have aged. But speaking as a devout Disney fan who will not grow out these films, I think this movie sticks well to the Disney formula and is enjoyable for anyone who still dreams of a trip to Disneyworld. If you have any spare time, check this movie out!
Awesome read! I loved it so much. And I have no intention of growing out of these movies. Originally i was a bit worried about a 3d disney princess movie as i enjoy the smooth and classic feel to 2d movies but after watching Tangled i have finally seen the strong points of 3d animation.

They have changed alot of stuff about this film.
I think of my head early twenties aren't fun when I hear tangled, not a fun fairytale movie. Mandy Moore Her voice is too annoying. I'd rather Sierra Boggess. I think that Kristin Chenoweth is a good singer but her speaking voice really annoys me! Love Mandy's speaking and singing voices, so I think that it could be a really good casting decision! VGfan30 picked No, but I wish they had kept Kristin!!
I had no idea! Unfortunately, Rapunzel does not possess the healing powers she had in the movie, but her hair can act as a shield to protect her. So while she would not be able to take care of wounds, the fact that her hair came back stronger is what makes us happy for this princess. There are a lot of qualities about Rapunzel that make her such a likable Disney Princess.
Like Ariel, she is adventurous and full of spirit. Like Mulan, she is brave and cunning. And like Belle, she is smart and curious. And yet, Rapunzel has managed to still remain hopeful and optimistic about her dreams despite being stuck in a tower for most of her life.
It does make sense as to why she did not have any signs of Stockholm Syndrome and that is because she believed all her life that Mother Gothel was her birth mother. She saw her as the one who raised her and obeyed every command she would give her. Getting to see Rapunzel experience the outside world is exhilarating and fun, so she has the perfect reaction to being outside for the first time in her life. Sometimes Mother Gothel might be a little bit manipulative, but for the most part, Rapunzel has always been optimistic about her dream of seeing the lights.
As we all know, Rapunzel is voiced by the lovely Mandy Moore, who has done a lot of films and singing throughout her career. She is not exactly an A-list star, but Mandy has the talent of one and with her current project, This Is Us , she has been gaining critical acclaim for her role as Rebecca Pearson.
Even though we absolutely love Mandy for her performance as Rapunzel, she was not the first choice to become the long-haired magical princess. The original voice was going to be provided by Kristin Chenoweth under the direction of Glen Keane. Reese Witherspoon was also a choice Disney had made to be the voice of Rapunzel. Due to creative differences and whatnot, both actresses left the project, leaving Rapunzel uncast.
These two actresses would have been great choices, but to our surprise, there were a lot of other auditions from talented actresses that surprised us. The king and queen had no dialogue, so seeing their expressions were beyond powerful whenever they think about their daughter. Biologically, the parents do come first, and then their child would come along the way after nine months. In this case, Rapunzel is the first to be made design-wise in the movie. It makes sense since the movie is focused around her trying to achieve her goals.
After all, the parents do have to look like her in order to bear a resemblance. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair! So, imagine how difficult it must have been to animate that much hair in every shot Rapunzel is in. We bet you are wondering, how much strands of hair are on her head? With that amount of hair, it astounds us that she has a lot of it, let alone deals with it in a calm and collected manner.
Once all of that hair got cut off, Rapunzel actually takes the record for having the shortest and longest hair of any Disney Princess, beating out Snow White in the former category. Then in the TV series, we witness Rapunzel getting her hair back to normal and this time, it cannot be cut ever again. Throughout her years of growing out her hair, Rapunzel is certainly a professional when it comes to taking care of it, but just imagine how much shampoo she would use if she were to use it.
Glen Keane is the talented man who helped bring many wonderful Disney movies to life. Starting with The Rescuers , Glen has become an icon who worked for Disney in so many years. One of his biggest achievements was being the executive producer, animation supervisor, and character designer in Tangled , especially for our lovely princess Rapunzel. Glen actually drew inspiration from Rapunzel from his daughter Claire. She wanted to paint her bedroom walls and aspired to become an artist.
Once Glen began working on Tangled, his daughter became a successful artist. When his daughter gave birth to his first grandchild, Claire named her Matisse after the famous artist. Glen would use Matisse as inspiration for baby Rapunzel. Even though cartoon characters are not proportioned realistically, that is what makes us remember them. Their appearances help stand out and differ a lot from art styles and live-action.
