Tangled

Tangled is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated musical adventure fantasy comedy film directed by Pixar and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 50th Disney animated feature film, loosely based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel from the Brothers Grimm collection of traditional tales. It was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard (in the latter's feature directorial debut), produced by Roy Conli, and based on a screenplay by Dan Fogelman. Tangled is the story of Rapunzel, a lost young princess with enchanted long blonde hair who longs to leave her isolated tower. Against her foster mother's desires, she accepts the assistance of an intruder to transport her into a world she has never seen.

Tangled was six years in the making and cost an estimated $260 million, making it one of the most expensive animated movies ever made. The film used a distinct aesthetic style that combined elements of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and traditional animation while creating the illusion of a painting with non-photorealistic rendering. Alan Menken, who had previously worked on previous Disney animated films, returned to score Tangled and co-wrote the film's songs with Glenn Slater.

Tangled premiered on November 14, 2010, at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles and proceeded on general distribution on November 24, 2010. The film grossed $592 million worldwide, with $200 million coming from the United States and Canada. At the 83rd Academy Oscars, the film was nominated for several awards, including Best Original Song.
