Disney's [RAPUN] is now titled "Tangled" CS Feb 12, 13:18

Lame, that's a title for a Halle Berry thriller, not a Disney animated film. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 13:20

Probably to appeal more to boys? {nm} CS Feb 12, 13:21

Probably, but it sticks out like a sore thumb in their Princess titles. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 13:23

Maybe that's the point. Did you ever think of that? {nm} RupertPupkin Feb 12, 15:16

Yes, and it's a bad idea. Tangled is not comedic or adventurous. It's a B-movie title. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 15:27

In your opinion. Perhaps you're in the minority. {nm} RupertPupkin Feb 12, 15:30

I don't sound like the minority from the comments on the Facebook. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 16:45

More people "like" it than give it negative comments on Facebook. {nm} RupertPupkin Feb 12, 17:43

It's undoubtedly a Rich Ross mandated change his major focus has been expanding audience appeal. {nm} notfabio Feb 12, 13:31

They should've gone back to the original title Rapunzel Unbraided. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 14:12

...a title which doubly reinforces the girliness of the movie? Yeah, great idea... {nm} RupertPupkin Feb 12, 15:33

So after FROGP disappointed, Disney abandoned what made ALL their previous character-named titles successful and forgot how their boy- Antibody Feb 12, 15:36

Tangled isn't "boy-oriented." It's just not girly. There's a difference RupertPupkin Feb 12, 15:55

Understanding the motive doesn't take away that it's still a crappy title. {nm} Antibody Feb 12, 16:37

Lame title... I thought they were going to call it "The Secret Tower" or "The Hidden Tower" - would have been better {nm} hyper73 Feb 12, 13:28

Its more of a comedy title (see the El Doradoesque still) which is probably the marketing angle they are taking {nm} notfabio Feb 12, 13:37

which has been DWA's path to success for the most part {nm} notfabio Feb 12, 13:38

also Disney heads off the cheapie dvd/etc knockoffs with Tangled whereas they could also use Rapunzel {nm} notfabio Feb 12, 13:58

Really? I can't imagine those cheap Pocahontas or Mulan eating into their profit. Those parents probably wouldn't have been to afford the Antibody Feb 12, 14:11

Ross is all about control of properties across all platforms, so even ankle (well toe) biters are an issue {nm} notfabio Feb 12, 14:29

Correct. At least someone understands! :) {nm} RupertPupkin Feb 12, 15:16

Which still had "El Dorado" in its title. Antibody Feb 12, 15:30

What about "Matted," "Split Ends," "Limp and Lifeless," or "Hairy Parter"? {nm} second gary Feb 12, 17:33

"Hairy Parter" LOL! {nm} Apokalips Feb 13, 17:15
