All about Tangled

Tangled is loosely based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel in the collection of folktales published by the Brothers Grimm. It was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and produced by Roy Conli, from a screenplay written by Dan Fogelman.

It featured the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and Donna Murphy. Non-speaking animal characters include Rapunzel's pet chameleon, Pascal, and Maximus, the horse of the head of the palace guard. Other non-speaking roles include Rapunzel's parents (the Queen and King of Corona), the other Stabbington brother, and Ulf the Mime Thug.

Tangled tells the story of Rapunzel, an innocent, young girl who is locked up by her overly protective mother. Her wish to escape into the world outside finally comes true when she meets the good-hearted thief, Flynn. Tangled received positive reviews from critics, who praised the animation, writing, characters, and musical score. The film was nominated for a number of awards, including Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards.
