1. Overview of the live-action Rapunzel movie

 

This fantasy romance musical film is based on the Disney animation "Tangled," which was released in 2010. Based on the Grimm fairy tale, the original work was highly praised for its cheerful music and unique character portrayals.

 

In light of the mixed reactions to Disney's recent live-action films, the live-action version is being given priority in "reconstructing the worldview of the original in a modern way while respecting it." In particular, the musical aspect is expected to be a major factor in ensuring the film's perfection as a musical film.

 

 

 

 

2. The reason for casting Teagan Croft as Rapunzel

 

The role of Rapunzel was played by Australian actress Teagan Croft.
She played the role of Raven in the DC drama Titans, and despite her young age, she has shown a strong presence and a wide range of emotional expression.

 

Rapunzel is a complex character who is innocent and curious, but also harbors loneliness and anxiety from being locked up in a tower for many years. The production team reportedly placed importance on the acting ability to express this inner turmoil, rather than simply recreating the character's appearance. In the final screen test held in London, Croft received high praise for both her emotional expression and singing, and was ultimately chosen for the lead role.

Flynn Rider is a character who combines light humor and sincerity, and is an important presence that balances the entire story. Manheim was praised for his friendly atmosphere and natural emotional transitions, and his chemistry with the role of Rapunzel was reportedly well received in the test stage.

 

 

 

 

4. The direction of the work as indicated by the director, screenwriter, and production team

He is well known for his directing ability that combines music and visuals, and it is expected that the live-action version of Rapunzel will also have a strong musical flavor.

This character will play an important role in determining the tension of the story, so future casting announcements will likely attract a lot of attention.
