Awww Oh, Snap! Quiz Retro Silly Whoa Yum

Rapunzel inspires us to go out into the world and learn new things every day, so why not learn something about

facts that will make you feel like you feel like you’re leaving your tower for the first time.

was Disney’s first full-length computer-animated fairy-tale adventure.

It was also Disney’s 50th animated feature. No pressure or anything.

, Nathan Greno, began his Disney career as an inbetween artist for Mushu in

3. Artists were inspired by the real world when designing Rapunzel’s world.


The kingdom was inspired by Mont-Saint-Michel and the hidden valley was inspired by Rocamadour. New life goal: visit these and other places that inspired Disney movies.

4. Early designs for Pascal were purple and blue.

Eventually the artists settled on green because it looked best with Rapunzel’s hair and clothes. (Pascal was also almost a squirrel. Nuts right?)

Much of this inspiration comes from “shape language,” which is so subtle that you might not even notice it. Even though it isn’t obvious, it gives

the fairytale feeling we love from other Disney classics.

6. There’s a family resemblance between Rapunzel and her parents. 



Okay, this one seems pretty obvious. For the audience to instantly know that the King and Queen are Rapunzel’s mom and dad they should look alike.

During this meeting, women from the studio brought in pictures of male actors and celebrities they found attractive. A very serious discussion followed as to what made these men… ahem… hot. From that day forth the meeting was referred to as the “Hot Guy Meeting.” Thanks to their tireless efforts and discussions, we can all gaze into the beautifully crafted face of Flynn Rider.

Glen Keane (character animator of Ariel, Beast, Pocahontas, and Tarzan), who had originally pitched the idea, wanted it to be a sincere fairy tale. When there was talk of taking a satirical approach to “Rapunzel” and titling it “Rapunzel Unbraided” Glen said, “I can’t do this kind of movie. This has to switch back, or else I can’t do it.” It switched back. He did it. Joy resulted.

Foooorrrreeevverrr! Well, since about 1937. “Rapunzel” was originally one of the stories that was considered and then rejected during a frenzy of post-
