Rapunzel's eyes are the largest of any human Disney character. They're even bigger than those of Maximus and he's a horse.
Maximus and Pascal were both voiced by the legendary Frank Welker, who voiced Abu and Rajah in Aladdin, Megatron in the old Transformers cartoons, Dr. Claw in Inspector Gadget, and many others.
Maximus is armed with a Roman gladius in 1tth Century Europe because, well, his name's Maximus. This was a spur of the moment idea from one of the directors who thought it would be a funny homage to Russell Crowe's Gladiator.
Flynn's costume (and his name) are primarily inspired by Errol Flynn in The Sea Hawk, and to a lesser extent in The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Rapunzel's hair is 60 to 70 feet long and would weigh about 60 lbs (27.27 kg). She must go through conditioner like crazy (in Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, aka Tangled: the Series, she gets her magic hair back).
The lantern Rapunzel floats back up into the air is the only one with the royal emblem, and thus the same one sent into the air by her parents, the king and queen.
The castle city of Corona is based on Le Mont-Saint-Michel on the Normandy Coast.
Le Mont-Saint-Michel was also Peter Jackson's main inspiration for Minas Tirith in The Lord of the Rings.
The countryside throughout the film was inspired by the Rocamadour region of France.
Best wines in the world, I hear tell. The average Romanee-Conti is $16,000 a bottle. Tasty, I guess, but then so is Pepsi.
The male lead character went through by far the most iterations before the directors were happy. They originally wanted him to be a large, muscular farmer named Bastion. This was eventually dropped when they felt he would seem too dumb. They ultimately gave the large muscular build to the Stabbington Brothers, the two hoods who help Flynn steal the crown.
Bastion's basic appearance would later go on to become Kristoff in "Frozen."
Jin Kim, who worked on Emperor's New Groove, Tarzan, Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, and many others, spent years working with different concepts and designs.
Ultimately, the directors decided that the male lead should not be based on any one person physically (Aladdin's face is based on that of Tom Cruise; Prince Eric of The Little Mermaid is based mainly on John Stamos). They decided that after Rapunzel came out looking cute and adorable, the male lead would have to be a dashing swashbuckler type.
They finally called all the women working on the film, about 30 of them, into a couple of meetings and told them to bring pictures of every attractive male celebrity, from all the way back in the black and white days.
The directors said the meetings were quite uncomfortable if you were a man, because no one was safe. Eyes were cut from one picture and pasted onto another, the jawline from one, the eyebrows from another, and flaws were pointed out in every single male celebrity in every picture.
Finally, after every woman's input had been written down, Jin Kim sketched what you see above. Director Byron Howard stated, "We created the ultimate man," then went home to his husband and said, "Tell me this guy doesn't look sexy."
There were plans to arm him with either a rapier or a bow, but these were scrapped since he would just have become Robin Hood, and they decided to have him wield the frying pan.
The artists used computer-generated imagery combined with traditional hand-drawn animation, but then used non-photorealistic rendering to make the entire film look like a painting. The technology to do this wasn't quite there yet when production began which is the main reason the film cost so much.
It is officially Disney canon that Rapunzel is the cousin of Anna and Elsa of Frozen.
In Frozen 2, a geographical map shows a date of 1840 for the shipwreck of Anna and Elsa's parents. This means "Frozen" takes place in July of 1843, and "Tangled" takes place in Spring of 1843.

I like how Rapunzel has a slight overbite and the VA gave her a slight lisp also, it is super cute

The Pepsi comment got me.

#7 don't they also pray that the lantern will find her?
Lassannn
You know I think they do. Good catch!
Baccano2015
Tangled is definitely one of my fave films and all this random info is pretty awesome
sunnay
the songs are great too!

The meeting where Flynn's appearance was created was referred to as "The Hot Guy Meeting". True story.
NotasbigasmediumsizedJock
They said they were uncomfortable. Now they know how women feel ?
graehall
Hahaha, right?! For the first time ever in Hollywood a pitch meeting about making a character attractive was done by women rather than men.

What's a "1tth"?
Lassannn
Shorthand for "19th."

Flynn's first recognizable art looks a LOT like the lead from Treasure Planet

Tangled is better than frozen and moana!!!

Also, didn’t know Eric was molded after John stamos. Must have been a funny mention for him when he did the stage performance of TLM

Wow. A "facts" post that's actually factual and not just made up nonsense.

I mean except that I'm pretty sure Minas Tirith was the inspiration for Minas Tirith.

Comparing French wine to Pepsi... How very dare you! That's an insult to Pepsi!
Lassannn
I asked my Italian prof who makes better wines, the French or Italians. He said, "Well, the French do but they learned how in Italy."

You make good posts. Fuck you very much, you legend.

I get fucked a lot.
Acc87
Agreed. And her character design must have started with the short brown hair, before adding the magic blond.
Acc87
Also why she's go much darker eyebrows compared to her blond hair.

Dude I knew there was a reason I always thought Flynn could get it.

As a most definently Kristoff-looking guy.
LordKabutops
He looks like Matthew Mercer to me
Lassannn
If he were to shorten his hair, maybe. With long brown hair and a beard he just looks like Jesus.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to me.

In his youth. Yeah I can see that.

They thought they created the ultimate man, but, little did they know, the ultimate man already existed.

I think this is probably an unpopular opinion... but I hate shorty. I like... fully despise him every time he shows up on screen.
Lassannn
You either like him immediately...or he just never grows on you.
bububub2
The fact that he is plot relevant to a lot of the episodes is the worst part. And they insist on him all the time.

He made a massive success of reposting only the finest posts. While incredibly popular, he is essentially a second hand car salesman.
KittyKlimt6
Didn't know, thank you. But I feel like every 3rd post is reposted and 10th reposted once a week. Aint there many lassannes?
Bacxaber
He's not hated for reposts, he's hated for lying.
KittyKlimt6
Oh ok

Wrong. He's hated because he's a compulsive liar.
