As are France and Estonia (granted, those are the names for the traditional story in each respective language). And a lot of countries seem to be using the name Rapunzel (think a bit like Rapunzel Unbraided).supertalies wrote:Anyway, Malaysia is also just going to caal it 'Rapunzel'.
By the way, I'm happy that Jim Hill is confirming that it's a good film and not the goofy movie as the trailer makes it out to be (not that my hopes were ever dashed). Part of me finds Disney's intentional mismarketing of the film as the kind of thing that may leave audiences ultimately in shock. Am I the only one imagining stunned looks from the naive, we'll-see-anything-if-the-studios-tell-us-we-should mass moviegoing populace when they hear musical theatre numbers instead of the chart hits that feature in the trailer? It all reignites that feeling inside of me of wanting the movie to be called Rapunzel, though. I still think that the name Tangled is just a bit cold and distant, and while I don't mind a title other than Rapunzel at the end of the day, they ought to have gone for one that seems to some extent more descriptive of things in the film (The Secret Tower, Rapunzel Unbraided, heck, even Blondie and the Bandit as somebody jokingly suggested) and not some cold, vague rom-com sounding title. But hey, this mild, normally out-of-character outburst of Disney conservatism will probably get some eggs thrown at me.
