Hmmm I don't think the name change had any effect... but I do think their marketing and making Flynn more of main character also did have some effect. When I got to events dressed as Flynn, oddly enough there are always boys who are excited to see Flynn (sure, Rapunzel too). They love the movie and always mention Pascal and Maximus. Then, there are the kids who refer to Rapunzel herself as "Tangled"...... *gags*Disney Duster wrote:The boy said that about Tangled (which is a movie, not a show). So Disney changed the name to Tangled...for nothing. It had no bearing on the popularity of the film with boys. It would have made the same audiences with the name Rapunzel. Huh. Go figure.ajmrowland wrote:"Thats a girls show" said a 4yr old in best buy last friday.

I'd like to see Maxius with a mate and kids in the short. Anyone else?

I might be able to handle that... but I really hope Rapunzel and Flynn don't have children. They always do that in the terrible sequels.Sky Syndrome wrote:I'd like to see Maxius with a mate and kids in the short. Anyone else?

This is the strangest comment I've ever seen you make, and you know that's saying something.Disney Duster wrote:Yes. Did the kid say it about Tangled, which is a movie, not a show, but he called it a show anyway?ajmrowland wrote:i was repeating what the kid said.
You honestly think that a FOUR YEAR OLD really cares to differentiate between a "show" and a "movie"? What are you, some film-natzi for children?

I say we track down the little ankle biter and run some focus groups on him, asking him if he understands the differences between shows and movies and if the title "Tangled" would have made him more or less likely to see the movie. It's the only way we'll ever know.

I think we should just beat the fucking kid up.

I know you're joking, but why always the extreme? There's slender, healthy, or chubby, not just anorexic vs. obese.
