DancingCrab wrote:question for phan...

In the novel Rapunzel tells Flynn her hair glows whenever she sings....so does her hair start glowing at all during "When Will My Life Begin?" and/or "I See The Light" or does it have to be the incantation song that lights her up?

I know chunks of those solos are sung in voice-over but I've heard parts are sung in real time so I was just wondering if it's something we are suppose to not notice or if they explain it has to be the Healing Incantation.

Thanks :-)


Hi! It's the Incantation that makes the magic work. It'd be pretty interesting if it was lighting up every time, haha! It's not stated outright, but it's pretty obvious from the way Gothel uses those specific words to use the flower, then later discover baby Rapunzel's hair has absorbed the magic.

Spoiler-related questions: I'm noting these for my spoiler-writeup!

I am rather quickly starting to feel Tangled is indeed a better title than Rapunzel after all, for the reasons cited by the directors. It seems like a whole heap of characters getting Tangled up in the story that is Rapunzel (whereas in the original fairytale, it was just a prince, rapunzel and the mother). It's like how Aurora is almost a background prop character* in Sleeping Beauty, and how it focus more on the fairies and prince philip.

*nevertheless Aurora is still my favourite disney character!
Why is Aurora that? And it was still called Sleeping Beauty! So this should still be called Rapunzel!

That's because the film is based on a much earlier story called Sleeping Beauty. ;) And Aurora is the title character of said film. She is the beautiful sleeper of the title, just like how Ariel is the Little Mermaid, or Simba is the Lion King, or Quasimodo is the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Instead of Tangled, Disney should have, if they were following in this tradition called the film The Maiden Who Who High (In a Tower)... it would have fit perfectly with the other one character titles and sounds much more classic than boring old Rapunzel. Who wants a story that keeps it's original name? Pfsh.

well actually the originall titles of sleeping beauty(grimm), Hunchback and little mermaid(Andersen) were all the same, so disney used original titles...
but i can understand disney's marketing completely, i mean come on guys , they have to survive between these movies like chipmunks and shrek-like animations,. ..children these days love these sort of rubbish, turn on disney-channel for example, much different than the flinstones or scooby doo i used to see.
so disney knows children are a big inkom for their movies and they have to reach these modern children with slap stick/fart jokes(and they trick them, because rapunzel appears to be none)

Uh oh! The Disney fundamentalists are not gonna like this part! :lol:

In all fairness, I still have to side with the people moaning about the particular title we ended up getting. Part of my personal anger over the title change was simply that they chose something as goofy as Tangled. They had thought of other titles (as evidenced in a Jim Hill column), some of which easily sounded more pleasing than something that sounds like a generic romantic comedy.

Anyway, I'm sorry to bring up that topic. Toodle-oo for now. :shifty:

Haha don't be sorry, obviously everyone's entitled to their opinions! Personally my only gripe is that the change was a pretty shameless money grab--but even then, after seeing how many boys were at the screening I attended (and not just very young boys either--7 to 13 years old!), it seems to have been a successful one. I can't fault Disney for thinking a "girly" name like Rapunzel or the Princess & the Tower or what-have-you would not attract as many boys, if that's what it takes for them to make enough money to continue producing movies like this!

Most of all, a title is just a -name-. If the movie was terrible and called 'Rapunzel,' the name would not save it from being awful, just as the name 'Tangled' does not change the fact that it's turned out so beautifully.

Nobody seems to get the drug joke I was going for. I personally think the original title should be kept. That whole post was supposed to be taken sarcastically.
