Short description

Feisty teenager Rapunzel, who has long and magical hair, wants to go and see sky lanterns on her eighteenth birthday, but she's bound to a tower by her overprotective mother. She strikes a deal with Flynn Rider, a charming wanted thief, and the duo set off on an action-packed escapade.

What's left behind the scenes

Computer engineer Kelly Ward (one of three specialists who worked on creating the program for simulating the hair movement of Rapunzel and other characters in the film) defended her PhD dissertation on computer hair animation and has been deeply involved in this field for the past 10 years. She is considered one of the leading experts in the area.
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 thick fog surrounding Rapunzel and Mother Gothel reflects Gothel's intention to cloud Rapunzel's mind.
To depict hair movement on screen, a special program called Dynamic Wires was developed. No one in animation had ever drawn such a large amount of hair before, and no film heroine in history has 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.
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 cartoon is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel".
The daughter of senior animator Glen Keane, artist Claire Keane, designed and painted the frescoes on the walls of Rapunzel’s tower. When developing the character of Rapunzel, Glen gave her some of his daughter’s traits, including a stubborn nature and a tendency to paint on walls.
“Tangled” is the 50th full-length animated film from Walt Disney Pictures.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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 creators of the film played over 2,000 races in "Mario Kart" to avoid going crazy from the intense work.
