#RAPUNZEL TANGLED TOWER MOVIE#
"We knew we were making this movie for a contemporary audience and we wanted Rapunzel to be a real role model in a way. As directors, Greno and Howard felt it essential that Rapunzel resemble a less "passive" heroine than the way she is depicted in the original fairy tale. But in my heart of hearts I believed there was something much more sincere and genuine to get out of the story, so we set it aside and went back to the roots of the original fairy tale." Īn interview with actress Kristin Chenoweth, who was originally cast as Rapunzel, reveals that at some point Rapunzel was intended to be a squirrel. Keane said of the original plot, "It was a fun, wonderful, witty version and we had a couple of great writers. Originally, the film was conceived under the title Rapunzel Unbraided, which Keane described as "a Shrek-like version of the film" that revolved around an entirely different concept. To overcome this, Tangled's writers were forced to develop a way of "bringing Rapunzel out of the tower".
According to Keane, this was mainly due to the fact that the majority of the fairy tale takes place within a tower. Walt Disney first attempted to adapt "Rapunzel" into an animated film soon after the studio released Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, but the project was ultimately abandoned when the story turned out to be "a really hard nut to crack". Keane, on the process of creating Rapunzel. There is a great “aha" moment when I finally recognize the character on my paper as someone I know." It’s a very intimate personal process and I will do hundreds, sometimes thousands, of drawings in finding that design. For me the joy of creating a character that I believe is real is at the heart of creating a memorable character. "The development of a character for me is a very personal journey. However, Keane remained closely involved with the project nonetheless, serving as both the film's executive producer and Rapunzel's supervising animator. Keane eventually resigned from his position as director after suffering a heart attack in 2008, and Nathan Greno and Byron Howard were hired to replace him. Keane became interested in the idea of directing an animated film based on "Rapunzel" because he was especially intrigued by the concept of a "person that was born with this gift inside of her and it had to come out", which he felt was similar to his experience working as an animator at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Longtime Disney animator Glen Keane first decided to adapt the fairy tale " Rapunzel" by the Brothers Grimm into an animated feature film in 1996.
