| Tangled, previously known as "Rapunzel", will be the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The film will be released in theaters November 24, 2010. Initially, I was pretty hyped for Rapunzel. But after hearing the name change I was curious as to why it was made, so I looked it up for verification. And here's why. "Disney's previous animated feature The Princess and the Frog in 2009, while being highly critically acclaimed and taking in nearly $270 million worldwide, was not as successful as Disney had hoped. Disney expressed the belief that the film's emphasis on princesses may have deterred young boys from seeing the film. In order to market the film to both boys and girls, Disney changed the film's name from Rapunzel to Tangled, while also emphasizing Flynn Rider, the film's prominent male character. Disney was criticized for altering the classic title and story as a marketing strategy. Floyd Norman, a former Disney and Pixar animator, 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." So I gotta agree, I'm not very pleased that they're willing to change the story and everything just to put more cash in their wallets. :/ but what can you do? anyways, I'll still check it out. But that's just my opinion. XD what does everyone else think of it? |

| They didn't actually change the storyline at all. The main character was going to be Flynn, even if it was called "Rapunzel". Plus, this is the first move, EVER, to combine the classic Disney "hand-drawn" animation, and CGI. It looks incredibly epic. I saw the second trailer for it and it looks like that they took a lot of information from Rapunzel and created an entire movie out of it. It looks like it is going to be great. |
| i agree with mysticryan, i saw the trailer and it looked realy great, can't wait to see it, it's going to be something else... |
