Disney's Rapunzel changes name to Tangled

I think this is bad idea, I liked the name Rapunzel. It kinda looses[joke] it’s classical feeling now and seems more in line with a Shrek Movie. Not that there is anything wrong with Shrek. That is like changing the name of Sleeping Beauty to Snoozed…lol

Here is the news from the Disney Facebook page:

“Hey everyone, I’m Roy Conli, producer of Disney’s next animated film. I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 2010 release, Tangled. It’s a really fresh,
smart take on the Rapunzel story.

In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We’re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who’s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who’s been locked away in a tower for 18 years.

I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it’s all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us
here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November.”

What do you think about the name change?

  1. I think they should use `Tangled`as a sub-name, kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean: the Black Pearl, that way people would know that there is more to the story then just `Rapunzel,Rapunzel let down your hair`, but at the same time i keeps it`s fairy tale roots and in addition is also respectful to Walt Disney and the Grimm Brothers, like it could be something like `Rapunzel: the tangled years` or `Rapunzel: A tangled tale of epic proportions` or `Rapunzel: prepared to get tangled` the options are endless, and in my opinion it`s a very ideal compromise.

  2. The name change is ridiculous and painfully eager to be 'cool'. Call a 'cat' a 'smeerp', it'll still be a cat. Have some dignity and call the movie what it is, and what most of the internet is still calling it–a lovely-looking adaptation of a classic fairy tale, Rapunzel.
