Walt Disney Animation Studios’s 2010 computer animated release Rapunzel has been retitled Tangled. Producer Roy Conli explains:

“Hey everyone, I’m Roy Conli, producer of Disney’s next animated film. I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 2010 release, Tangled. It’s a really fresh, smart take on the Rapunzel story. In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We’re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who’s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who’s been locked away in a tower for 18 years. I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it’s all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November.”

Good grief. :rolleyes:

Because people are gonna be familiar with "Tangled" over "Rapunzel"? :rolleyes:

I actually think it's a good thing they changed the name. Going by the description they are not staying true to the original story so keeping the original name would confuse people and make them expect a different movie than the one Disney is actually making. So the name change will help communicate to people what to expect with this movie.
