Avantika as Rapunzel

My brain randomly during the day...

Joey Batey as live action Flynn Rider....

Are you gonna look at me and you're gonna tell me that I'm wrong?!?

[80smen-fanclub]

Avantika this, Mandy Moore that, THAT’S the only answer to live action Tangled.

I really feel like making this a whole series of mash x Disney so if you have any ideas…🤭

[herlondonboy]

“meg donnelly should’ve been rapunzel”

“meg donnelly and milo manheim have great chemistry so meg should’ve been rapunzel”

“even if avantika died her hair it wouldn’t look really natural-“

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

SHE’S MY RAPUNZEL

[joeythefrog]

fuck the discourse about who should play rapunzle in tangled, it's CLEARLY Ben Tyler Cook

[intersectionalpraxis]

Do white women like this have any shame?

[tangledbea]

With the discourse going around in Twitter, do you think Rapunzel not being white and/or blonde would be fine if they made a live-action Tangled? Also, do you think Avantika would be a good Rapunzel like some users say?

Here is my definitive list, in order of importance to me, regarding a live action Tangled:

I do not want a live action Tangled, full stop.

If they must make one, I want them to use the story idea of Glen Keane's abandoned version. The one with Bastion. Not Tangled as we know it. Tangled as we know it would make a terrible live action movie. It's too cartoony. Max would be terrible. Either the slapstick would look very forced or be removed entirely, neither of which are good choices for the story. Glen Keane's version of the story was already darker and more serious than what we ended up getting, and would be much better adapted to live action. (Plus, we'd finally get to see an adaptation of it!)

Ethnicity doesn't matter to me in terms of casting.

Rapunzel and Eugene's actors should be no older than 32 at the start of filming, but preferably much younger than that. All the fan-casting of people in their late 30s - early 40s makes me shudder. Especially when Eugene is cast in his 40s and Rapunzel is cast in her 20s.

If they insist on doing Tangled as we know it, the actors must be able to sing, preferable Broadway-style as opposed to Pop-style.

What Rapunzel's actress' hair looks like has zero relevance on how good she'd be as Rapunzel. You do realize that her hair is going to be entirely CGI, right? Like Captain Marvel's?

I don't personally like Avantika for the role, but the closest thing I have to a fan-cast is an Indian actress who I would much prefer to play her: Charithra Chandran. I don't know if Charithra can sing, but see #1, which is the most important one in my point of view. All the rest is irrelevant after #1.

We all want this guy to play Flynn Rider, no Zachary Levi …

My favourite Disney movie ౨ৎ

A review written by Cel

I finally decided to write my love and thoughts about this movie after never finding enough words for it. Tangled is the first 3D animated Disney movie with a disney princess and was their animated studios' 50th movie. It is loosely based on the german fairytale "Rapunzel" by the brothers Grimm from the early 1800s. Some of Disney's previous disney princess movies had also been based on the brothers Grimm fairytales. As we can see in the animated movie we're introduced to this kingdom called Corona, this place is based on the german culture and architecture along with some characters' names. The music is written and composed by the infamous Alan Menken, whom I've admired his work for as long as I can remember, he has composed for Disney multiple times such as the soundtrack for The Little Mermaid. I officially became a fan of him earlier last year when I started watching Tangled's sequel series "Rapunzel's tangled adventure" where he had also composed the music, I definitely recommend watching it if you really enjoyed the movie. One would assume it is some type of spin-off but surprisingly it connects with all the details from the original movie.

To start off with my love for this: I was never a big fan of this movie as a little kid as I am right now. Of course I knew all the words to the songs and the storyline, but I was more of a Cinderella and Frozen kid. Even so, this movie was still on repeat on my family's TV most of my childhood and I safely assume the DVD got ruined because of how much it played.

Tangled is my favourite Disney movie and have been for a very long time. I don't remember when it really got to me, but it was always a comfort movie I could watch all the time if I felt bored or didn't have any movie choices in mind. After watching it atleast once a month (unaware of the amount of rewatches), I felt emotionally attached to it and I knew I could relate to Rapunzel. She is a witty, creative, and curious 18 yr old girl who had been trapped in a tower for most of her life without knowing the true meaning about it. My favourite relatable thing about her is the amount of hobbies she mentions in "When will my life begin?". Disney did really well showing domestic abuse and passive aggression from mother Gothel, us as the viewers already know that she's the bad guy in the story but Rapunzel doesn't which makes her relationship with her feel so natural. Her realisation is one of my favourite scenes because of the recollection of her early memories. I feel the intention of this was to help young children who watches it would maybe realise if they are actually being treated badly and neglected. Of course a young kid wouldn't pick up the bits and pieces that fast but it is easy for someone to think their treatment and relationship with their parents are natural which is the same case with Rapunzel.

Now with Rapunzel's romance that I am very fond of. If you really think about the time Rapunzel and Eugene spent together and the ending of the movie, it is quite weird how they just got married already. They met a day before her 18th birthday, he was on the run and she wanted to see the "floating lights". The fact that Eugene was canonically 26 years old in the movie which can seem pretty weird, but in the series they reveal he was 23 as he turns 26 at the end of the last season. I love how they didn't make them flirty at the start of their friendship which obviously would be natural for two strangers and especially for a girl who's never talked to another human being other than her mother. Flynn Rider, the name Eugene went by, was not happy with this trip he had to do if he wanted his satchel back. It's just wholesome to watch them progress throughout the movie and the way their feelings begins to develop. I like to think Rapunzel admired him from the start, as Eugene fell for her later on. If their relationship had a trope I would definitely say the "she fell first, but he fell harder" trope. In the sequel series, they start the story some months (i think) after Rapunzel returned to her real parents. But she and Eugene hasn't been married yet, she actually said no first because she felt insecure and was still trying to be used to her new life. Their relationship took years with complicated feelings and miscommunication which is one of the best parts of the series. Me personally would've said "yes" right away to Eugene. He is probably the most handsome and dare I say best Disney man. I mean they did put a group of women at the studio to work out his best design..

This is definitely the best animated movie among Disney for me, every scene is just satisfying to watch and it's like letting your brain rest for over an hour. They captured such beautiful moments in animation and perfected it so well with dialogue and music. One of my biggest dreams would be to watch this on a big screen with a live orchestra, and possibly Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi sing too.

I also want to address the live action of Tangled because of the current rumours about the castings. As far as I know, Disney hasn't fully confirmed that the live action is in the works and everything so far is just rumours or assumptions. Only a few days ago 1-2 articles had been found informing that Disney has reportedly casted Avantika Vandanapu and Milo Manheim as Rapunzel and Eugene. This caught a huge amount of attention and controversy on social media, and my biggest problem with this is how people actually believe it. I really thought we were past believing absolute everything we see on the internet, especially from websites we've never gotten information from. Because why would a website almost no one reads suddenly have Disney's thoughts of their cast? Worst is the people believing this and being racist about it. Avantika had never been a choice in my fancast for Rapunzel as she doesn't fit her description, but that does NOT mean she shouldn't be allowed to play her as there are plenty versions of white Rapunzels from before. The people using this casting to compare it with saying "Tiana/Moana should be played by a *white woman*" are who annoy me the most in this situation. I've had multiple arguments with different people the past couple of days because of stating how comparing those two are not fair and the inaccurate casting isn't the same difference. First of all: Tiana's appearance and storyline are based on her skin colour and culture as she's an afro-american woman from the 1920s in New Orleans. In parts of her movie her "background" even gets represented as a problem for her to achieve her dream, this movie is obviously made to represent our beautiful black people in the world. Shocked they didn't get a representation until 2009. Second: Moana is based FULLY on polynesian culture and through polynesian mythology, even her voice actor was encouraged to be a part of that. Auli'i Cravalho, her voice actor, is native Hawaiian and encourages their culture along with the music Lin Manuel Miranda wrote. At last: Comparing this rumoured Rapunzel casting to Tiana or Moana is wrong as her story isn't meant for representation of oppression and not based on her skin colour. Yes, it is loosely based on the brothers Grimm's fairytale which is German and the movie does show German details in the story but things will always change and they already are. Why not let today's children grow up with beautiful characters that can let them feel as included as every white person can with the previous characters? I can say this has never been a problem to me growing up even though none of the disney princesses looked like me, it still makes children aware of it at some point and when I realised I didn't have a disney princess that looked or was based remotely on people like ME, I began hoping Disney would make a south-east Asian princess. That's why I agree that Disney should start making new disney princess movies representing more people instead of not having an accurate casting for the character but honestly, Rapunzel's SKIN colour is not that relevant to her story at all. Anyway, my fancast for Tangled has always been Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim after watching the Zombies movies. They have great chemistry and both of them sing perfectly! I'm excited to see how this live action movie will turn out, after Halle Bailey's "The Little Mermaid" I hope it will be as amazing.

My love for Tangled is endless but to finish my review I want to thank you for reading all the way down here. If I was only allowed to watch one movie the rest of my life I might have chosen this or a 2-3 hour long just to be entertained longer. The amount of times I've watched this has made me able to recite most of the scenes and the whole film is engraved to my mind. I think if I had enough time and peace I could literally sit still and watch the movie scene by scene in my mind. Again, thank you for reading!

my two cents

the thing that white people don't seem to understand is that white characters often exist without their whiteness being essential to the story while it is a rarity if characters of color ever get that luxury in the stories that they're in. and even then, in the context of real life, it makes no sense to those kinds of characters white because of how little representation that exists for people of color who don't have their own intense 'struggle story'.

for all the disney princesses that they're saying, "so i guess _____ should be white then," they have to realize that their stories don't exist without their racial and ethnic backgrounds. jasmine is an arab girl whose story takes place in the middle east; take away her color, and you have a different story entirely--you are no longer telling the story of 'aladdin'. mulan is a chinese woman in ancient china fighting in the chinese army against the huns. if she was any other ethnicity other than chinese, it would not be the same 'mulan'. pocahantas is a native american girl whose home and safety was being threatened by the *white* colonizers. IF SHE HAD BEEN WHITE, THE STORY WOULD NOT HAVE MADE SENSE!!!

and tiana, who i don't know why she's even being brought up in this conversation (i don't know why any of them were being brought up anyway, but her especially), is a black woman in the jim crow south in the 1920s, whose story was full of jazz music and voodoo, and who had to work all day, every day to barely be able to afford a down payment on the building for her restaurant. at the risk of sounding redundant, IF SHE HAD BEEN WHITE, she would have been lottie. and that's what people don't seem to understand: 'the princess and the frog' already showed us what it would be like if tiana was white. she would have been the princess of nola with a daddy so rich, all she would have had to do was ask for money and he would have bought the building for her and then some. there would have been no need to bargain with naveen, no adventure through the bayou, no character development for tiana. simply put, the movie. would not. exist.

at this point, i've forgotten how i wanted to say what i wanted to say, so i'll say this: casting a person of color in a 'typically white' role does no detriment to your self-worth. it has no impact on your childhood. it does not affect you in any way. but for people of color, who didn't have too much of this representation growing up, opportunties like this are everything for us (i didn't even talk about francesca amewudah-rivers and the west-end romeo and juliet, but the same sentiments still apply, especially because she's also providing nigerian representation in a space that i love but don't feel too represented in). but, if you don't like the idea, don't watch the product.

a lot of you complaining are grown adults who have much bigger issues to worry about, so please quit being immature and shut up about it!! and stop being bullies to actors that are doing nothing but their jobs.

thank you for your time.

Rumor is Avantika Vandanapu is going to play Rapunzel and she's just perfect for the role

[phantombanana]

ok, but hear me out

hear me out

@disney HEAR MW OUT

[heartstopper-0bsessed]

when he says “ily”

BUT ..

Eugene Fitzherbert said:

“Rapunzel, you were my new dream.”

as his last words before he “died” .

[blondie20000]

Possible hear me out?

Live action Tangled.

Rapunzel:

Meg Donnelly

Second choice?

Florence Pugh

Flynn Rider:

Fabien Frankel

Second choice?

Dylan O' Brien

Reasons.

Meg:

There's this video of Meg when she auditioned for Zombies and omg she gave off such Raphnzel energy. Link is below if you want to check it. Also this would be a big career opportunity for Meg like it was for Halle Baliey in The Little Mermaid. Sometimes the least known actors and actress are the best choices!

Florence

I mentioned Florence because I know she's a popular fan casting and yes I'll admit she does resemble Rapunzel however at this point I don't really see it I can't imagine her as a innocent 18 year old Princess.

But then...I did see a clip of Little Women where she played like a 12 year old? Florence looked so cute in that scene. "I'm Amy." 🥺 so who knows maybe Florence might surprise me and of course I will watch it if she is Rapunzel because I love Florence.

Fabien

Fabien I've seen the fan casts the comparisons of how similar he and Flynn look and I agree they look similar.

I mean look at him.

He can so do the smoulder 😏 again my point on least known actors. I didn't know Jonah until The Little Mermaid and I absolutely adored him as Eric. 💜💜

Dylan

Dylan I see as more of an underrated choice. I think he could channel the sass and humour of Flynn. If you ever watched Teen Wolf you would know what I mean. Dylan is great with action as well and emotional drama. He is a versatile actor.

I can just picture him bickering with Pascal. Lol

[superhaught]

How do I get these pictures to Disney as my official submission to play Flynn Rider opposite Reneé Rapp (or Avantika) in the live action Tangled?

My qualifications are:

I’m cute

I can sing Flynn’s part in I See the Light

I can ride a horse

Reneé can hit me with a frying pan as many times as needed
