tangled

Today, PIG mum took me to see the movie ‘tangled’! it’s the cartoon about rapunzel! Here are all my favourite quotes, trivia and goofs, courtesy of imdb:
Trivia first:
-he hero is a bandit named Flynn. This is a reference to Errol Flynn, a dashing actor whose notable role was a bandit in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).
-According to production manager Doeri Welch Greiner, the original script was a quasi-sequel to Enchanted (2007), and had Rapunzel turned into a squirrel and her place taken by a girl in the real world. Glen Keane eschewed in favour of a more fun and fantastical fairytale that Disney is famous for: "I think that's what Disney needs to do right now. No one else can do it. We should not be embarrassed or make excuses for doing a fairytale."
-Composer Alan Menken reported that he based the film's musical score on 1960s rock.
-The hero's name was originally going to be Bastian.
-The character of Flynn Ryder was originally British. Zachary Levi even auditioned for the part, and got it, with a British accent. It wasn't until later that the character became American.
-Disney's previous animated feature The Princess and the Frog (2009), despite being popular with critics and audiences alike, was a box office disappointment. Disney felt that the film's princess theme discouraged young boys from seeing it. In an attempt to market the film to a more broader audience, Disney changed the title of the film from Rapunzel to Tangled, and promoted it as a comedic adventure. An early trailer for the film focused less on Princess Rapunzel, but more on Flynn Rider, the male lead character. It was originally believed that Disney's marketing campaign was a desperate attempt to search for a particular audience. However, Byron Howard and Nathan Greno, claimed that the title change was to emphasize that the Flynn has much of a role in the film as Rapunzel.
-This is the first animated Disney "princess" film to get a PG rating by the MPAA. All other Disney "princess" films got a G rating.
-The song "When Will My Life Begin (Reprise 1)" and part of the song "Mother Knows Best" is omitted from the movie. However, the complete renditions can be found in the soundtrack album.
-The sword that Maximus uses to fight Flynn at the dam is a Roman gladius. This would normally be an anachronism to the time-set of the movie. However, in this case it is very fitting because the name Maximus is also a Roman name.
-goofs next!
-Continuity: The length of Rapunzel's hair changes continually during the movie.
-Continuity: Flynn is still in shackles when he is rescued by the Pub Thugs, but while escaping they completely vanish.
-Continuity: SPOILER: Flynn's body position changes after cutting Rapunzel's hair. First, he is still propped up against the wooden post, his face facing away from the audience, with his right hand draped across his stomach. In the next shot, he is completely on the floor, facing the audience, this time with his left hand across his stomach.
-finally, quotes!
-Rapunzel: Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will... Fate... Destiny...
Flynn Rider: A horse? (i like this quote! :P)
-Flynn Rider: You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose.
[Breathes through nose]
Flynn Rider: Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts? :P
Flynn Rider: [from trailer] I could get used to a view like this. Yep, I'm used to it. Guys I want a castle.
-Flynn Rider: [from trailer] I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder.
-[from trailer]
[Flynn Rider has found a wanted poster with a drawing of him]
Flynn Rider: They just can't get my nose right!
-[looking in the mirror with Rapunzel]
Mother Gothel: Look in that mirror. I see a strong, confident, beautiful young lady.
[Rapunzel smiles]
Mother Gothel: Oh look, you're here too.
[laughs]
-Flynn Rider: Oh... oh no... where is my satchel?
Rapunzel: [proudly] I've hidden it. Somewhere you'll never find it.
Flynn Rider: It's in that pot, isn't it?
[Rapunzel hits him with her frying pan]
[Rapunzel pulls Mother Gothel up the tower]
Rapunzel: Hi. Welcome home, Mother.
Mother Gothel: Oh! Rapunzel, how you manage to do that every single day, it looks absolutely exhausting, darling!
Rapunzel: Oh, it's nothing.
Mother Gothel: Then I don't know why it takes so long.
-Rapunzel: Who are you, and how did you find me?
Flynn Rider: [clears throat] I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say... Hi. How you doin'?
-Rapunzel: Who's that?
Flynn Rider: They don't like me.
Rapunzel: Who's that?
Flynn Rider: They don't like me either.
Rapunzel: And who's that?
Flynn Rider: Let's just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn't like me!
-Rapunzel: Too weak to handle myself out there, huh, Mother?
[starts twirling frying pan]
Rapunzel: Well...
[laugh]
Rapunzel: ... tell that to my frying pa-
[accidentally hits herself with pan]
-Hook Hand Thug: Go, live your dream.
Flynn Rider: I will.
Hook Hand Thug: Your dream stinks. I was talking to her.
[Referring to Rapunzel]
-Rapunzel: So mother, earlier I was saying tomorrow is a really big day, and you didn't really respond, so I'm just gonna tell you: IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Tada!
Mother Gothel: No no no, can't be. I distinctly remember, your birthday was last year.
Rapunzel: That's the funny thing about birthdays, they're kind of an annual thing.
-Mother Gothel: [singing] Mother knows best./Take it from your mumsy./On your own you won't survive./Sloppy, underdressed,/Immature, clumsy,/Please!/They'll eat you up alive!
-[of a Wanted poster of himself]
Flynn Rider: This is bad! This is very very bad, this is really bad...
[holds up the poster]
Flynn Rider: They just can't get my nose right!
Stabbington Brother: Who cares?
Flynn Rider: [acknowledges a poster of the Stabbington Brothers] Well, it's easy for you to say! You guys look amazing!
-Flynn Rider: I can't believe that after all we've been through together, you don't trust me? Ouch.

Flynn Rider: You broke my smolder!
-Flynn Rider: Let me just get this straight, I take you to see the lanterns, bring you back home, and you'll give me back my satchel?
Rapunzel: I promise.
[Flynn gives Rapunzel an unconvinced look]
Rapunzel: And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise.
[Flynn is still unconvinced]
Rapunzel: . EVER!
Flynn Rider: All right, listen! I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smoulder.
[Flynn purses his lips in the hope of charming Rapunzel. She just gives him a stern look]
Flynn Rider: This is kind of an off-day for me, this doesn't normally happen. Fine! I'll take you to see the lanterns.
Rapunzel: Really?
[Rapunzel jumps in excitement, letting go of the chair Flynn is sitting on. Flynn falls on his face]
Rapunzel: Oops.
Flynn Rider: [weakly] You broke my smoulder.
-Flynn Rider: [Flynn looking at his 'Wanted' poster] No... no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no, this is bad, this is very very bad, this is really bad... They just can't get my nose right.
Stabbington Brother: Who cares?
Flynn Rider: Well, it's easy for you to say.
[Looking at the Stabbington Brother's 'Wanted' poster]
Flynn Rider: You guys look amazing.
-Flynn Rider: The party lasted an entire week, and honestly, I don't remember most of it.
Hook Hand Thug: [During the 'I've Got A Dream' number] What about you?
Flynn Rider: I'm sorry, me?
Big Nose Thug: What's your dream?
Flynn Rider: No, no no. Sorry, boys. I don't sing.
[All swords are pointed at him, Flynn begins to dance and sing]
-Flynn Rider: [Awakes to see Maximus staring back at him] Well, I hope you're here to apologize.
-Flynn Rider: [Upon being chased by the Palace Guards, Flynn and the Stabbington Brothers reach a dead end. They are facing a cliff] All right, okay, give me a boost, and I'll put you up.
Stabbington Brother: [the Stabbington Brothers look at each other] Give us the satchel first.
Flynn Rider: What? I just... I can't believe that after all we've been through together, you don't... trust me?
[the Stabbington Brothers look at Flynn straight in the eye]
Flynn Rider: Ouch.
[Flynn reluctantly hands the satchel to them]
Stabbington Brother: [Flynn climbs up the Stabbington Brothers and reaches the top of the cliff] . Now help us up, pretty boy.
Flynn Rider: Sorry... my hands are full.
[Flynn cockily shows them the satchel he steals from them while climbing up and runs off]
-Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.
-Rapunzel: I can't believe I did this.
[Whispers]
Rapunzel: I can't believe I did this. *I can't believe I did this!* Mother would be so furious. That's OK though, I mean what she doesn't know won't kill her. Oh my gosh. This would kill her. *This is so fun!* I, am a horrible daughter. I'm going back. *I am never going back!* I am a despicable human being. *Woo-hoo! Best. Day. Ever!*
[Sobs]
-Flynn Rider: Does your mother deserve it? No. Would this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course, but you just got to do it.
Rapunzel: Break her heart?
Flynn Rider: In half.
Rapunzel: Crush her soul?
Flynn Rider: [squishes a grape in his fingers] Like a grape
-Rapunzel: I have made the decision to trust you.
Flynn Rider: A horrible decision really.
-Rapunzel: [circling Flynn tied to a chair with her hair] So, what do you want with my hair? To cut it?
Flynn Rider: What?
Rapunzel: Sell it?
Flynn Rider: No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair is to get out of it... literally!
-Mother Gothel: [Rapunzel has just locked Flynn in her closet] Rapunzel! Let down your hair!
Rapunzel: One moment, Mother!
Mother Gothel: I have a big surprise!
Rapunzel: Uh... I do too!
Mother Gothel: Ooh, I'll bet my surprise is bigger!
Rapunzel: [to herself] I seriously doubt it.
-Flynn Rider: [after enlightening Rapunzel on his past] You can't tell anyone about this, okay? It could ruin my whole reputation.
Rapunzel: Ah, we wouldn't want that.
Flynn Rider: [reassuring her] A fake reputation is all a man has.
-[Last Line]
Flynn Rider: But I know what the big question is? Did Rapunzel and I ever get married? Well I am happy to say after years and years of asking, I finally said yes.
Rapunzel: Eugene!
Flynn Rider: Okay, Okay I asked her.
Rapunzel: And we're living happily ever after!
Flynn Rider: Yes we are.
anyways, sorry that took three days to finish! but all in all, 'twas a great movie! i'm hoping that mother will take me to see the green hornet next!
