- "Rapunzel" is adapted from Grimm's fairy tale "Lettuce Girl", but the story is almost a brand new original Disney, and only partly borrowed from the original fairy tale in terms of characters and worldview settings.
- In order to cooperate with the release of "Rapunzel", Disney established the "Rapunzel" theme park at Disneyland in California, which opened on October 15, 2010.
- Christine Kennonce and Dan Fowler were the first to voice the princess and Flynn in the film, but they were changed to Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi due to schedule reasons.
- Flynn is set as a thief in the film, and he is also a hero. The characterization of this character is based on the Robin Hood in Robin Hood in 1938.
- David Schwimmer and Burt Reynolds originally planned to dub the film as well, but their roles were deleted in the early stages of the film's production, so their dubbing did not appear in the film in the end.
- The original script of the film is the sequel to 2007 "Magic Romance". It tells the story of a Rapunzel in a fantasy world entering the real world, but it was cancelled because the story was too similar to the first episode.
- The visual style of the film is deeply inspired by the works of French artist Jean Fragonard. He is one of the representative artists of Romanticism. The film is deliberately produced and imaged with the feeling of a traditional 2D cartoon drawn by hand, but in fact "Rapunzel" is a computer-rendered action film. The soundtrack of the film, Alan Manken, used a lot of soundtracks from 1960s rock films when he made the soundtrack.
- The hero's name in the film was originally Bastian (Bastien), and later changed to Flynn (Flynn).
- The film is Disney's first CGI fairy tale film.
- In the original role setting, Flynn was an Englishman, and Zachary Levy even deliberately developed a British accent during the audition, but later the role was changed to an American.
- Although the 2009 Disney animation "The Princess and the Frog" was well received worldwide and achieved a box office of 270 million, this number did not meet Disney's expectations. Disney believes that this is because the movie's audience is too narrow. , The title failed to attract male audiences, so the name of "Rapunzel" was changed (from Rapunzel to Tangled, mainly to attract more male audiences), and the role of Flynn in the film was emphasized. In response to this situation, a retired Disney animator, Freud Norman, criticized him. He thought that Disney seemed to be desperately looking for audiences and lost its own style.
- "Rapunzel" is the first time that Disney's "Princess" theme has received a PG rating. Other Disney princess movies are all G-rated.
