Tangled 3-D

Tangled is a computer animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. It is the 50th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. Loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" in the collection of folk tales that the Brothers Grimm published. The film was originally titled and marketed as Rapunzel until it was changed to Tangled shortly before its release.

A drop of sunlight falls to the ground and grows into a magical flower, with the power to heal the sick and injured. An old woman named Gothel finds it and uses it to keep herself young by singing an incantation. At the same time, a kingdom develops on a nearby island, ruled by an idealistic king and queen. The Queen becomes ill during pregnancy, and the couple's loving subjects search for the legendary flower. The queen is eventually fed the flower, is healed, and gives birth to a daughter, whom they name Rapunzel. Rapunzel's golden hair, it is found, has absorbed the magical abilities of the flower. Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and hides her in a tower, saving the powers of the magic flower for herself, and raising her as her own child. Every year, on Rapunzel's birthday, her kingdom releases thousands of sky lanterns, in the hope that the lost princess will return. But then one day a runaway thief stumbles upon her, and she discovers the world for the first time, and who she really is.

Tangled spent six years in production at a cost that has been estimated at $260 million which, if accurate, would make it the most expensive animated film ever made and second most expensive movie of all time.

The film is directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard starring Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Zachary Levi as Eugene "Flynn Rider" Fitzherbert, Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel and Brad Garrett as Hook-Hand Thug.
