Tangled

I can’t tell you how many times new musical projects have started at Disney with a room full of animators saying “We don’t want to do the traditional kind of musical. Those old rules don’t apply to us.”

That’s how “Rapunzel” started, in a room with really smart, creative people, who had never created a song-driven project before. First we were instructed to avoid the old “Disney Animation” stereotypical songs. Then, as things progressed, there was a hankering for the classic song moments. Back and forth we went over the course of 3 years and in the end, it landed on its feet as “Tangled”. And it actually works! Amazing!!
