About Tangled:
Tangled is a 2010 American computer-animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, based on the story Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. It stars Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, and is the 50th animated feature in the Disney Animated Canon, and was released on November 24, 2010 in North America. The film is telling the story of the long-lost princess Rapunzel, who yearns to leave the confines of her secluded tower for an adventure. Against her foster mother's wishes, she accepts the aid of a handsome intruder, Flynn Rider, to take her out into the world which she has never seen.
Before the film's release, its title was changed from Rapunzel to Tangled, reportedly to market the film as gender-neutral. 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 at that time. Composer Alan Menken, who had worked on prior Disney animated features, returned to score Tangled.
Tangled premiered at the El Capitan Theatre on November 14, 2010, and went into general release on November 24. The film earned $591 million in worldwide box office revenue, $200 million of which was earned in the United States and Canada; it was well-received by critics and audiences alike. Tangled was nominated for a number of awards, including Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards.
Tangled would go on to become the most successful Disney animated feature film since The Lion King in 1994, both critically and commercially, beginning a new style of marketing and aesthetics for the following computer-animated films from the studio, similarly to how The Little Mermaid impacted the Disney Renaissance.
An animated short sequel, Tangled Ever After, was released in 2012. In 2017, a made-for-television sequel film Tangled: Before Ever After premiered as a pilot for an animated spin-off series centering on Rapunzel and Eugene's adventures after the film.
