Producer Roy Conli of Walt Disney Animation Studios’s 2010 “Rapunzel” has been retitled “Tangled”. Roy Conli explained the reason for the change on his 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.”

Directed by Byron Howard & Nathan Greno with our lead heroine voiced by Mandy Moore while Chuck’s Zachary Levi will play a bandit named Flynn Ryder.

Tangled is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on November 24th 2010.

Cybergosh reaction: “Rapunzel” is a classic, classy title. “Tangled” is Dreamworksy and ridiculous. Shame on John Lasseter for permitting this.
