Together, their partnership outshines any other in Disney Princess canon. And despite the character's insistence that he doesn't "do backstories," we learn just as much about him as we do Rapunzel. However, Flynn's best feature isn't his good looks it's that he's his own man with his own story arc. (Oh, the smolder!) Of course, it didn't hurt that Flynn was voiced by the oh-so charming Zachary Levi either. That's because "Tangled" directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard famously held a " Hot Guy Meeting" during the design phase, where all the girls at the studio came in to vote on what makes a smokin' male lead. Actually, that's one of the reasons why the film is called "Tangled." Originally, it was "Rapunzel Unbraided," but once it was clear that the film was as much Flynn's story as it was Rapunzel's - and in attempt to market it to both girls and boys - the title was changed.įlynn is also really, really, ridiculously good-looking. ![]() More to the point, "Tangled" laid the groundwork for Brave and Frozen to go even further with Disney's new modern slant, which makes it the herald of a new Disney Princess era.Īnother thing that makes "Tangled" stand out from other Disney Princess movies is that it's not just about the princess it's about Flynn Rider too.

For the wide-eyed Rapunzel, it's a coming-of-age story as she discovers what the outside world has to offer. It's about two unlikely heroes going on a journey together and leaving their past behind. Because at its core "Tangled" is an action-comedy set in a fairytale world. The storylines, characters and relationships are all fresh, funny and, most importantly, sincere. Obviously part of that stems from the CGI, but it goes deeper than that. Actually, part of why it works so well is that it stays true to the spirit of films like "Snow White," "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty." It's a fairytale in every sense of the word, unabashedly so.īut unlike its predecessors, "Tangled" is a movie for a more contemporary audience. Now, I'm not saying "Tangled" reinvented the wheel. I think we can all agree that Disney Princess movies are life blood, but, let's face it, parts of them are a little dated. ![]()
