Disney’s Tangled offers a modern, animated take on the classic fairy tale Rapunzel. The story follows Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore), a young princess with magical golden hair that holds the power to heal and restore youth. Abducted as an infant by the cruel Mother Gothel (voiced by Donna Murphy), Rapunzel is locked away in a secluded tower for 18 years. Despite her isolated life, she dreams of exploring the outside world, particularly wanting to witness the floating lanterns released annually on her birthday.

 Rapunzel’s life changes when Flynn Rider (voiced by Zachary Levi), a dashing thief and fugitive, accidentally finds her tower while fleeing from the royal guards. Rapunzel strikes a deal with Flynn: if he helps her see the lanterns, she will return the stolen goods he possesses. Together, they embark on a journey that’s filled with danger, humor, and self-discovery. Along the way, they meet a variety of quirky characters, including Maximus, a determined horse, and a group of outlaws at the Snuggly Duckling tavern.

As Rapunzel uncovers the truth about her royal heritage and learns to embrace her strength, she grows into a courageous young woman. With the help of Flynn and newfound allies, she stands up to Mother Gothel, ultimately reclaiming her destiny and her rightful place in the kingdom. The film’s exploration of independence, love, and self-discovery, paired with its stunning animation and memorable music, makes Tangled a beloved Disney classic.

Tangled was a commercial success, grossing $591 million worldwide against a production budget of $260 million. The film’s critical acclaim, strong performances, and engaging story contributed to its success, establishing it as one of Disney’s iconic animated films of the 2010s.
