Blonde, Bouffant & 3D

TANGLED is Disney's newest animated feature film, starring the voices of MAndy Moore as Rapunzel, Zachary Levi as Flynn Ryder and Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel. It is a modern retelling of the Rapunzel story, adding many new twists, turns and tangles to the classic Grimms fairy tale, all filmed in awe-inspiring Disney Digital 3D video and sound. As will be revealed in the forthcoming interview this month with the directing team at the helm - Nathan Greno and ByRon Howard - this is one of the most technically advanced motion pictures in history and more than four years of work and development has gone into making the dream become a reality. The animation studio alone employs more than 450 animators and technicians! It is a truly epic adventure - the process of bringing the story to screen, as well as the story on the screen itself - and while Grene and Howard proved with BOLT that they are more than capable at telling a compelling story in this format, a musical Disney film with expectations as high as those that have been set for one is nothing short of a, well, Herculean task to set out to take.

Be sure to stay tuned to BWW for all things TANGLED in the coming weeks and next two months leading up to its release - including extensive exclusive content only available here - in anticipation of its world premiere on November 24th!
