We all adore Rapunzel because she is fun, resourceful and talented, plus cute. Today I am sharing some fun facts about her Rapunzel and her movie, " Tangled".

FACTS
1- The movie "Tangled" was Disney's 50'th animated feature film. Rapunzel is also the first digital animated feature princess.

2- The idea to create Rapunzel starting the late 1930s Rapunzel was originally one of the stories to be considered after the release of Snow White.

3- Rapunzel is the first Disney Princess to have magical powers.

4- Rapunzel's hair is 70 feet long, with over 100,000 strands. The height of Rapunzel's tower was based on Rapunzel's hair.

5- Nor any Disney character have hair longer then Rapunzel.

6- Originally, Flynn's name was going to be Bastion. And, he was gonna be shaped like the Stabbington Brothers.

7- The original designs for Pascal were gonna be purple and blue, but the animators decided to go with green because it matched the best with Rapunzel's hair and clothes.

8- "Tangled" 's Animation Director Glenn Keane originally wanted a squirrel. But head of story, Mark Kennedy thought that Rapunzel needed something different for a sidekick.

9- Rapunzel is the only official princess to have green eyes. All the others have brown or blue eyes. Pascal matches her eyes good.

10- Rapunzel's outfit was inspired by a number of European Countries from the medieval period to the early 19th century. Her dress is the milkmaid style with a hint of whimsy. Embroidery on her dress isn't perfect, that shows that Rapunzel did it by herself. Rapunzel's wearing purple, which is the color of royalty. Purple is a royal color because it was extremely rare in back Roman empire days. A marine snail would secrete toxic mucus and that is how they got the Tyrian purple.

11- Mother Gothel's dress is prior to Rapunzel's time. İf you notice, she is the only woman wearing a bell sleeve, loose fitted dress throughout the entire movie.

12- Animation Director Glenn Keane's daughter artist Claire Keane designed and painted the arts that's on Rapunzel's walls. Glen drew inspiration for Rapunzel when Claire was just a little girl. İf you look closely at Rapunzel's walls, you can see the art starts off childlike to portray when Rapunzel first started drawing and then it progressed to some more detailed art. İt shows Rapunzel's growth.

13- Rapunzel paints on the last avaliable wall in the tower in her picture that she watches the lanterns. That symbolize that there is nothing left for her there. İt was time for Rapunzel to go outside and paint the whole town.

14- Rapunzel plays the electric guitar that isn't exist in that period.

15- Rapunzel is the Disney Character that has soo many hobbies, she is the most talented Disney Princess. She plays the guitar, knits, reads, plays darts and chess, solves puzzles, makes candles and pottery she is a ventriloquist and she loves to paint.

16- " Tangled" has the largest crowd Walt Disney Studios created to a CG future. The Disney Effects team created a crowd of nearly 3000 people. The Tangled animated cast includes a number of five main characters, 21 people from the bar scene and 38 townspeople.

17- Rapunzel made a short appearance in the movie "Frozen" during the scene that Anna opened gates and sang her song. She had short hair and Pascal on her shoulder, and she also had Flynn near her.

18- Rapunzel was barefoot throughout the entire movie.

19- İf you look closer at Rapunzel's cradle, you can see a horse representing Maximus, a chameleon for Rapunzel's sidekick Pascal, a duck for the snuggly duckling tavern, an angel for the man who is dressed as cupid at tavern and a blue bird for the blue birds that fly around Rapunzel when she leaves the tower for the first time, spoiler alert!

I was on youtube recently link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx1MmY1Bb50[/url][/url] (If you go down to the 60 replies). Someone thought Belle didn't have a job (and the triplets did) because she had enough 'free time to read and became delusional about life in 'poor provincial town' (not my words). The exactly wording of what the user said was "I'm wondering that Belle are doing then even those triplets have their own jobs and responsibilities. Maybe idleness made her delusional? That life can be found outside of her town? " I pointed out that in historical speaking in those times women were...

A lot of people on Fanpop say that Merida is selfish and not not a good role model. Personally, I think that is far from the truth.

Merida wasn't being totally selfish when she went to the witch. Impulsive, yes. Her mind was clouded by all the emotion she felt and acted before she thought things through. When she asked for a potion that would change her mother, I think she wanted something to change her mothers MIND. Not her personality.
I think Merida is actually quite selfless. When her plan to change her mother went awry, she didn't even hesitate to help her mom. She went totally out of...

So yeah, there's gonna be spoilers, so if you haven't watched it I recommend leaving now. BYE! Anyway, in this review I'll go over the characters, soundtrack, animation, and story line. This review is probably gonna be really positive since I absolutely loved the movie, but I'll try and keep a level head and give some of the bad points in this review as well. So lets get started!

The Characters

Let's start off with the most important thing to me, the characters. A movie's plot can be terrible, but if I'm with a great character during that time, I can endure it, and Frozen's characters definitely...

Since the last time I wrote this article my list has changed a bit and I also decided to write this article again so that I could include Anna and Elsa. Also want to point out none of these screencaps are from disneyscreencaps.com, I found them on Disney Wiki so I don't know their original sources

13. Tiana

I like Tiana despite having her as my least favorite Disney Princess, but she's a person that I'm not striving after being more like and of course I can't relate to her at all except we both have a passion for food, other than that we're each others opposites and I find Tiana too realistic...

Forgive me, my fellow Fanpoppers for the out of character Eugene/Flynn in this poem, but I hope the sheer amount of fluffy Raflynnzel is enough to satisfy you.

The poem is all in Flynn's perspective. It's just about all the things he loves about Rapunzel and about them. Hope you like it and if you didn't, criticism is warmly welcomed! Please leave some comments below! Also, any ideas for a proper title? :)

Caution: FLUFF ENSUES. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FLUFF, STEP OUT OF THE FICTION.

I just had this crazy idea - In the next months, I'll write a series of 8 articles (well, I'll continue only if you like them, of course). The first 7 articles will be about separate aspects of the DP movies (Score, princess, couple, screenplay, villain, sidekicks and animation/art), and in the final article I'll make the average of the grades I gave the movies in each aspect and make my favorite DP Movies list = )

The first article is about the scores! Enjoy =D BTW, all the pictures I used feature my favorite song from each movie.

10. Cinderella - 7,0

It sure has a lot of nice songs –...

How is it that my list, besides numbers 1-3, is constantly changing? I love them all, just some more than others. Yet everytime I rewatch one of their movies, it's like seeing them for the very first time. And of course I am a woman, and we are known for always changing our mind ;) Anyways, here is my updated favorite Princess list.

9. Aurora
She used to be my 7th favorite, now she is 9th. It doesn't mean I love her any less; it basically boils down to the fact that I just want to see more of her. Anytime I watch Sleeping Beauty, I'm always skipping to the parts with her in it, and before I know...

Decided that when I write my fan-fiction about Arista, that there would be a few new characters in it. I'm calling the story; Mermaid Tales. I want to use Ariel's sisters, as well as a few from the television series such as Urchin, Gabriella and Ollie, and Pearl. These are a few of the characters I came up with for the story.

Just pretend it's pink, okay? -_-U

Taken from "coral." Cory is one of Arista's friends. She's unbelievably bubbly and crazy but a very loyal friend. She loves the color pink and has a pink tail-fin and top. She often wears a pair of red starfish earrings. She...

You know, after a couple of years of loving Disney princesses and learning to love for them and even wish tht was my life, i have figured out a couple of things.
To my knowing ther is only 10 official princesses yet I beg to differ.
Snow White
Cinderella
Aurora
Belle
Ariel
Jasmine
Mulan
Pochantos
Tiana
Rupunzal
See, wht i think an offical princess is well.... well this is the definition of one
daughter of a king, or marries a son of a king
except they use monarch instead but still. So therefore 2 of those people on the list are actual not real princesses. The two would be Mulan and Pochantos
The rest make...

I've already written an article about why I think the classic princesses are great role models, but now I wanted to write about their intelligence. The poll about who the most intelligent classic princess was inspired me to write this, and I've just been in a writing mood in general. I won't be ranking them, just giving the reasons as to why I believe they're intelligent. So I hope you all enjoy this article!! Let's get started!

Snow White

Snow White is often painted as the dumbest of the three, namely because of her eating of the apple. First off, being naive doesn't necessarily mean not...

Sorry this is so late, I've been busy the past couple of days. Sorry for making you wait LightningRed but without further adieu here's LightningRed's

1. Congrats on being fan of the month! How do you feel?
I'm speechless. It's nice to be appreciated. HUGE THANKS for all DP fans who nominated me and voted for me.

2. How did you discover this site?
I was looking for pictures on Google and was directed here. I thought Fanpop was a great site because of the picks and quizzes feature. So I decided to join. And I'm a big fan of Disney Princess, so I came here.

Hi, I'm Princess Juliet. My parents are Eugene and Rapunzel Fitzherbert. They are EXTRODINARY. I and my little brother Noah, are their children. Mom's pregnant.

I looked at my little brother's crying face, I couldn't help but to ask,

"Noah, what happened?" I said. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Let me guess, mom went into labor?"
My brother nodded his head and hugged tightly around the neck.

"Uh-huh!" he said, nodding.

"Well, what are you crying about? She'll be fine!" I said.

"Really?" he asked. I grabbed the grip around my neck he had and nodded.

"Yes, really, Noah." I said, nodding. Then I went...
