(Flynn Rider) and Mandy Moore (Rapunzel) in this ‘early look’ at Disney’s Tangled which popped up recently on YouTube.lthough there is just a smidge of new animation and quite a bit of concept art shown in the featurette, nothing too surprising has been revealed that those who aren’t already familiar with the story of Rapunzel couldn’t surmise (that and the poorly guarded secret that Rapunzel’s hair has magic properties). One interesting observation however is that of the birthday lanterns.

Featured prominently in the original concept art released for the film as well as becoming the inspiration of a Christmas tree ornament from Disney Store, Mandy Moore briefly explains that they appear every year on Rapunzel’s birthday, but falls short of explaining anything further other than Rapunzel’s curiosity. Jakks Pacific will also soon be releasing
a birthday lantern of their own (which we managed to get our hands on) for the film which plays an instrumental loop from a piece titled I See the Light.

“Tangled” International Movie Poster
Walt Disney Picture’s latest fairytale animated movie hits theaters in November, but the movie posters are already popping up. Tangled follows the traditional tale of Rapunzel, with the Disney twist and top notch animation, of course. The movie features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Ron Perlman, and Brad Garrett.
The international poster isn’t in English, but apparently overseas the movie is called Rapunzel, not Tangled. I’m not sure why, but I think it’s probably because of a little known movie starring Rachel Leigh Cook, which was also titled Tangled. That movie went straight to DVD here in the US, but did well overseas and it was very adult with a hard R rating. Disney probably didn’t want their latest kiddie flick associated with that movie. Will you be seeing Tangled in November?
