Tangled is a 2010 American computer animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The film features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy and is loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" by the Brothers Grimm.
Cast and characters: Mandy Moore as Rapunzel Zachary Levi as Eugene "Flynn Rider" Fitzherbert Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel Brad Garrett as Hook-Hand Thug Ron Perlman as the Stabbington Brothers Jeffrey Tambor as Big Nose Thug Richard Kiel as Vladamir M. C. Gainey as Captain of the Guard Paul F. Tompkins as Short Thug Tom Kenny as Guard Tim Brooke-Taylor as Old Man Frank Welker as Pascal and Maximus Delaney Rose Stein as Young Rapunzel
The film was originally titled and marketed as Rapunzel until it was changed to Tangled shortly before its release. It premiered in theatres and in 3D cinemas on November 24, 2010. The film was highly successful overseas, particularly in the UK where it opened to cinemas at a later date on 28, January, 2011.
Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million which, if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated film ever made and second most expensive movie of all time.
Original music was composed for the movie by 8-time Academy Award winner Composer Alan Menken with lyrics written by Glenn Slater. Menken said he attempted to blend medieval music with 1960s folk rock to create the new songs.
