The film follows the story of the &quot;magically long-haired Rapunzel [who] has spent her entire life in a tower, but now that a runaway thief has stumbled upon her, she is about to discover the world for the first time, and who she really is,&quot; as per its IMDB.</p><p>The voice cast members included Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider.</p><p>In an interview with MTV News in 2010, Mandy remarked how Rapunzel is not the typical Disney princess and highlighted the character&#x27;s sense of independence.</p><p>&quot;She&#x27;s not the typical femme fatale or the typical Disney princess even. She doesn&#x27;t know she&#x27;s a princess. I think she sort of has this inkling that something isn&#x27;t quite right in her life, [but] she&#x27;s just really sort of motivated to find out what else is out there beyond this crazy tower she&#x27;s lived in for 18 years,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>The actress-singer went on: &quot;Having said that, she&#x27;s very independent, she can take care of herself, and she&#x27;s definitely come up with really entertaining ways to keep herself busy.&quot;</p><p><em>Tangled</em> earned $592 million in global box office and became the highest-grossing film of 2010.</p><p>It got nominated for Best Original Song for &quot;I See the Light&quot; at the 83rd Oscars. The film was also nominated for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Song at the 68th Golden Globe Awards.</p><p><em>Tangled</em> joins the series of live-action adaptations at Disney following <em>Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, </em>and <em>Aladdin</em>, among others.</p>
