9 Trivial Facts About "Tangled" That Can Make You WOW

It's no secret that Disney films are exceptional. The mere mention of Disney causes goosebumps to appear on our skin and floods our minds with warm, fuzzy recollections. Disney has always done an amazing job of appealing to viewers of all ages, whether it's a little child begging to see Frozen again or an adult fortunate enough to attend the Cinderella premiere.
The Walt Disney Corporation is well-known for its magnificent storytelling and for promoting positive life values. Take the everlasting friendship between Winnie the Pooh and Piglet as an illustration of Disney's primary message about the value of family and friends.
Disney's use of characters from a variety of cultural and ethnic origins is another way in which the company promotes unity. Not only that, but we must not overlook Disney's emphasis on the ever-after and real love. Disney can allow us to escape into its world of wonder even though we know that life can't guarantee us such things.

1. Mother Gothel

Mother Gothel is an old woman who abducted Rapunzel and locked her up in a tower so that she may remain youthful and lovely forever, although her real age is never revealed in Tangled. Yet if we examine the fashion of Mother Gothel's attire, we can see that it originates in the Renaissance Era; because we know that the events of Tangled took place in the late 1700s, this indicates that the woman is almost 400 years old!

2. Rapunzel

Initially, the lantern festival was a party for the newborn princess. But, the situation changed dramatically when Mother Gothel abducted Rapunzel. On Rapunzel's birthday, the sky would be illuminated with lanterns, hoping they would lead the way for her to return home. Rapunzel's parents sent up a light with the royal insignia, and when she eventually got to view the celebration, the lantern she sent back up into the air was the only one with the emblem.

3. Pascal

Once upon a time, Rapunzel's cute sidekick was intended to be a squirrel. Pascal's original design called for him to have a fluffy body and a lengthy tail, but in the end, he was inspired by a genuine chameleon that belonged to one of the employees. Disney considered making Pascal a purple reptile once he agreed he should be one. When everything was said and done, though, a green chameleon was the most compatible pet for Rapunzel, and it also occurred to complement her attire.

4. Maximus

Maximus is armed with a Roman sword in the scene where he battles Flynn. This is a wonderful touch as Maximus is a well-known made-up persona from the Gladiator film series. Even better, the name's meaning—"greatest"—seems tailor-made for Maximus.

5. The Kingdom Of Corona

The Mount Saint-Michel on the Normandy Coast, which before the epidemic used to host roughly 2.5 million people each year, served as inspiration for the Kingdom of Corona. There are still 44 people who call the island home, including the nuns and monks who call the Abbey their home. The monastery also modeled the city of Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings.

6. Flynn And Rapunzel

Flynn Rider was 26, and Rapunzel was almost 18 in the film. This adorable pair was separated by eight years, but they weren't the only ones with a baffling age disparity. Snow White and Prince Florian, in which Snow White is rumored to be just 14 years old, are the most contentious Disney pair with a 17-year age gap.

7. Tangled is an expensive film

It's no secret that Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - occupies the first place on the list of most costly Movies ever created with a budget of $300 million, but did you know that Tangled is still Disney's most expensive animated picture and nearly tops the list? Tangled took six years and an astounding $260 million to produce. The integration of hand-drawn animation with CGI would explain the astronomical price tag.

8. Flynn Rider

Flynn Rider began as a naive British farmer but developed into a cunning scoundrel throughout the story. Gene Kelly and Errol Flynn, as did Han Solo and Indiana Jones, served as models. Some people, especially those familiar with his Robin Hood character, saw striking parallels with Errol Flynn.

9. Maximus And Pascal

Maximus and Pascal were voiced by the same industry icon who lent his talents to over 800 other characters across animated features, television series, video games, and commercials. Frank Welker is well-known for his animal and monster impressions. He provided the voices for 16 characters in the animated series Futurama, including Fred Jones and Scooby Doo.
