Tangled (Live-Action)

It wasn't his final movie, he did disenchanted. That's actually worse than having tangled be his last, since his work there was very so so.

I meant the remake if it ever happens. Not the original.

...thats why I said they should do their own spin on it, like also focusing more on the source material instead of Tangled.  Noone needs the EXACT same movie in a live Action format like Lion King, Mermaid or Beast remakes were. Thats why Cinderella 2015 is beloved as its a remake of the fairytale with tiny ticks of Disneys version with the songs and Mice. Its not depending on disneys version, its an independent standalone film. Make Rapunzel a farmers daughter, cut the magic hair aspect, have them in the tower for 80% of the movie and New songs or Cut the songs altogether and you dont have to associate it with Tangled anymore.

I personally dont mind them cutting the songs as Tangled doesnt quite have a daring Soundtrack (but loooove When Will my Life Begins reprise because it sounds so timeless and iconic even the Instrumental alone) but seeing the huge musical potential Menken delivered in the Series, i would only celebrate NEW songs from him

Hmm...I agree with a lot, like how Cinderella 2015 is beloved and a good movie because it was it's own adaptation, but it did not have any of the original film's songs, except Ella humming "Sing Sweet Nightingale". If Tangled did what you said, except kept the magic hair (from Mother Gothel making a magic flower that can only be made once), and they called it "Rapunzel" finally, I would love that.

Ariana was an actress begfore being a pop singer. She also made the live version of Hairspray. She has more career than some other actress who appeared in musical movies before her.
Btw I don't think that this movie needs a popstar for the main character. Rapunzel doesn't sing too much in the animated movie and her songs are not very difficult to sing compared to other princesses.

I wonder if the last live actions flopping would make successful actors and directors avoid disney live actions.

I've always said that Tangled is not so great as people use to think. I'm surrounded by people who think that it's amazing but I find it pretty normal. I grew up with Barbie as Princess Rapunzel and in my opinion this version has more the feeling of an old fairy tale. The look of this film is great considering that it was released to VHS and DVD directly. They also had magic creatures like dragons, a beautiful and realistic tower.... They also gave powers to Gothel transforming the character into a wicked witch. They also added the plot of Rapunzel going out of the tower, discovering her own pass and they also gave her the painting hobby and the magic brush... They mantained the more recognizable things about the original story but adding new things that really worked.
Tangled only has the magic flower and Rapunzel going out from her tower, something that we already saw before on Barbie's film.
In my opinion a LA film could improove some things from the animated movie but honestly I think that they are going to cancel all the LA projects after SW.

Thank you. This post sums up everything I feel. Barbie as Rapunzel is a beautiful adaptation which keeps to the spirit of the original story. So happy to meet a kindred spirit. Tangled is so blah especially with insipid Mandy Moore as the lead. Whoever looked at her and thought she's a disney princess type? She didn't even make it as a pop princess lol.

From your words to God's ears. Hope all the LA projects get cancelled now that Mufasa has tanked as well.

Ariana as Glinda is totally Barbie princess material. I am rooting for her to play Rapunzel in the LA but only if it's an authentic Rapunzel and not that Tangled mess. This is the only LA I would support if Ariana is playing Rapunzel because we deserve a classic fairy tale princess getting the A-list treatment.

We the public have spoken. We will not brook any dissent.

Love Ariana, but not as Rapunzel. I'd be fine with her as Megara though. Not necessarily because she's the perfect Meg, but I know she's a fan of the character which means she'd put more effort into the project just like with Glinda.

Rather see this than a Tangled remake.

Yeah no. Megara is a horrible character for children to look up to. I have zero sympathy for someone so jaded because we all go through trials and tribulations in this world but not everybody lets themselves go as far she does to sell her soul to the devil himself. Disney agrees with me because there's a reason she never became a Disney Princess and she was never even considered for the role like Esmeralda and Jane were. They know having this quasi-villain is not a good role model for little girls.

Also with the live-actions flopping left and right, Disney is not going to waste time on a B-list film of theirs. Hercules was the least grossing renaissance movie for a reason. Nik Ranieri posted about how audiences didn't care for it because they were offended by Disney making fun of itself and their target audience which is why the film failed and their lowest box office since Down Under. Even though Hercules was built entirely on the 90s musical formula. Also first Disney soundtrack of the 90s to not be platinum. All the Menken stuff and Lion King before it got platinum status. With Snow White about to become an epic disaster in the making, Disney's safest bets are only Lilo, Moana, Tangled, and eventually Frozen which will be their "break in case of emergency" option. Those are their last major films that can have guaranteed hit status so I'm sure Hercules will quietly disappear like the rest of Disney's live-action catalog.

At the end of the day, Rapunzel and Glinda are both icons of literature and the screen and global icon characters. Ariana is a global icon herself. She's going to play a global icon worthy of her status and reputation.

[Disney's Divinity]

ah no. Megara is...etc.

They're making the remake whether or not you like a character from the movie. Ariana is much more likely to take the role of a character she loves like Megara than Rapunzel--if she takes any.

Megara was on princess adjacent merchandise back in the '90s along with Jane and Esmeralda as someone who was there to know, so as usual you don't know what you're talking about. And anyway, Tangled definitely isn't more of a guaranteed hit than Hercules. Tangled having a vague title hurt its potential longevity in a lot of ways.

Lol shows how much you know like a deluded stan. Princess adjacent merchandise is not the same as the actual DP franchise which didn't exist until 2000. Your stan was a guest character at best. Esmeralda was an official DP until Michael Eisner was kicked out of Disney. Jane was promoted as the newest DP. I'd post receipts but they'd be wasted on you something tells me

Disney never had faith in Meg, who is not a household name like Esmeralda and Jane Porter, and was a bad role model for children. But keeping crying tears for a nonexistent live-action that will never be made because Tangled is superior at the box office and relevant to pop culture. Ariana will not sell herself to a b-list remake that will never be made when she is on top of the world.

[Disney's Divinity]

Sorry, I have merch of my own with Esmeralda, Megara, and Jane all together with the other princesses, so... I don't need to see any of your phony "receipts" because I know for a fact you're lying.

Anyway, yet again, Ariana is on record as being a fan of Megara. Another fact. And Tangled isn't one of the A list of the Canon, it's in the B tier itself along with Hercules and TP&TF. Frozen, TLM, Cinderella, etc. it ain't and arguing can't make it so.

[Disney Duster]

I know for a fact Ariana loves Hercules and Megara, so I feel she definitely would pick that role if she could. I also feel Tangled is an A list film, though.

[Disney's Divinity]

Well, the film did do decently at the box office and Rapunzel merchandise sells well. But it often feels like the film itself is forgotten to a degree. I don't really see it being on level with SW and Cinderella, as far as remake comparisons go.

I do not really know if it gets forgotten. All I'm gonna go by is how Rapunzel is included a lot with merchandise, I've heard she's huge with little girls, and in my opinion the movie is great. You could be right and it gets forgotten, I just do not think so myself. What did you mean by "remake comparisons" though, just what movies Disney would get a hit out of if they were remade?

[Disney's Divinity]

Yeah, that. I know SW's and Cinderella's remake potential isn't / wasn't as big as others like The Jungle Book, Aladdin, and so on, and it's hard for me to think Tangled has more potential than they do / did.

[Disney Duster]

We def disagree about the remake potential of Disney's films!

[Lavendergolden]

Leaving this here not that I have anything to prove against people labeling me.

Girls my age love Rapunzel and Eugene. But I have my issues with him because everyone knows that classically Rapunzel married a prince, not a thief. I don't like these weird changes that Disney made to the story. I hope the live-action makes him a classic prince charming again. Rapunzel should technically be a peasant but I don't mind her becoming a princess as much as Flynn not being a prince.

Rapunzel consistently sells merchandise and is a top seller. Look at all the merch with her in every country of the world. Out of new princesses, I think only Elsa beats her. And since she isn't an official DP that makes Rapunzel automatically the best selling new princess. Even if she feels more traditional and classic than the ones before her and after.

Check out this link and see how Rapunzel was selected the world's favorite DP even above Elsa. 37 countries named her their favorite, the highest total of countries. She won in the continents South America, North America, Europe, and Asia easily. What other princess can say she is #1 in four continents?
