100 free Tangled trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
42 free Tangled trivia questions with answers. Tangled was Disney's 50th animated feature, cost more than any animated film before it, and had its title changed at the last minute so boys would not be scared off by a princess. It also happens to be one of the studio's most rewatched films, which is why a quiz on it needs more than 'what is the chameleon called'. This one runs from easy (Rapunzel's weapon of choice, Flynn's real name) to questions for people who own the Blu-ray: which Grimm tale the film comes from and what the tale's mother craved, which painting inspired the look, why the hero got the alias Flynn Rider, who the Hook Hand Thug is voiced by, which song beat 'I See the Light' at the Oscars, and what goes wrong at the wedding in Tangled Ever After. The TV series, Kingdom Hearts III and the live-action remake all get a look in. Everything is safe for younger fans. Every answer was checked against a documented source and the citation sits under each explanation, so nothing rests on half-remembered viewings.

Q 01Who provides the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled?
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore won the part over hundreds of hopefuls, among them Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell, who went on to voice the two sisters in Frozen.
Q 02Flynn Rider is an alias. What is his real name?
Eugene Fitzherbert
The name Flynn Rider was borrowed from swashbuckler Errol Flynn; the character was originally written as a British farmer.
Q 03Rapunzel's pet chameleon is called what?
Pascal
Pascal was named after a real chameleon kept by one of the film's animators; when that pet became a father during production, the closing credits gained a line for 'Chameleon Babies'.
Q 04What is the name of the kingdom Rapunzel was stolen from as a baby?
Corona
Corona's soldiers dug up the magic flower to save their dying queen, which is how its power reached Rapunzel's hair; years later she spots the kingdom's emblem in her own paintings and realises who she is.
Q 05What do Rapunzel's parents do every year on her birthday?
Release sky lanterns
Release sky lanterns: her parents hope the lights will guide their lost daughter home, while from her tower Rapunzel knows them only as floating lights that appear each year on her birthday.
Q 06What does Flynn steal from the palace that Rapunzel later hides in her tower?
The lost princess's tiara
The lost princess's tiara fits Rapunzel perfectly when she tries it on, though she has no idea why; she hides it and offers Flynn its return in exchange for a trip to see the lights.
Q 07Flynn tries to scare Rapunzel back to her tower by taking her to which rough pub?
The Snuggly Duckling
The Snuggly Duckling is as rough as Flynn hoped, but his plan backfires: Rapunzel wins the thugs over, and they confess their own gentle ambitions in the song 'I've Got a Dream'.
Q 08Which household object does Rapunzel famously use as a weapon?
A frying pan
A frying pan flattens Flynn as soon as he climbs into her tower; by the film's end a pub thug uses one to fell the captain of the guard, and Flynn marvels, 'Who knew, right?'
Q 09Roughly how long is Rapunzel's hair in Tangled?
70 feet
70 feet of hair was the film's great gamble: one of its makers said the movie would fail if the hair did, and the directors admit it began to work only late in production.
Q 10What happens to Rapunzel's hair when it is cut?
It turns brown and loses its magic
It turns brown and loses its magic, as Gothel found when she snipped a lock from the baby princess; that is why she stole the whole child instead of a handful of hair.
Q 11The magic in Rapunzel's hair originally came from a flower created by what?
A drop of sunlight
A drop of sunlight fell to earth and grew into a golden flower; Gothel found it first and kept it hidden for centuries, using its power to stay young until the palace soldiers dug it up.
Q 12Which actress voices Mother Gothel, in her voice-acting debut?
Donna Murphy
Donna Murphy, a Tony-winning Broadway star, was asked to audition with a song from outside the film; she prepared as she would for a stage role, inventing a past for Gothel that the script never shows.
Q 13Gothel's big song, in which she warns Rapunzel about the outside world, is called what?
Mother Knows Best
Q 21Under what working title was Tangled first announced in 2003, as a comedy in the style of Shrek?
Rapunzel Unbraided
Rapunzel Unbraided would have dropped two bickering teenagers from modern San Francisco into the fairy tale; that script was scrapped, and the film became plain Rapunzel before its last change of name.
Q 22Disney reportedly renamed its Rapunzel film Tangled for what reason?
To market it to boys as well as girls
To market it to boys as well as girls, the Los Angeles Times reported, after The Princess and the Frog drew too narrow an audience. The directors say the new title simply suits a film with two leads.
Q 23Tangled's painterly look was modelled on the work of which French Rococo artist?
Mother Knows Best owes its sting to real life: the directors asked women at the studio how their own mothers had undermined them, and put what they heard into Gothel's mouth.
Q 14How does Mother Gothel meet her end?
She ages rapidly and turns to dust
She ages rapidly and turns to dust once Rapunzel's power can no longer hold back the centuries she has stolen; tripped at the tower window, she is gone before she reaches the ground.
Q 15Tangled is based on 'Rapunzel', a fairy tale published in 1812 by whom?
The Brothers Grimm
The Brothers Grimm's tale spends most of its time waiting in a tower, which is why Walt Disney, who had it on his list in the 1930s, never filmed it: the story was judged too small for a feature.
Q 16In the original fairy tale, what kind of plant is the 'rapunzel' that the heroine's pregnant mother craves?
A salad green like rampion
A salad green like rampion or lamb's lettuce is what the German word means; when the husband was caught stealing it from a sorceress's garden, the price she named was the unborn child.
Q 17The French tale behind 'Rapunzel' calls its heroine Persinette, after which herb her mother craved?
Parsley
Parsley names both Persinette and the still older Italian heroine, Petrosinella; the tale's German translator swapped the herb for another plant, rapunzel, and renamed the girl to match.
Q 18Tangled was which number in the official count of Walt Disney Animation Studios features?
50th
50th by the studio's own count; when it opened, Disney had shelved another fairy tale, The Snow Queen, which reached cinemas three years later as Frozen.
Q 19Tangled's estimated cost of about $260 million earned it what distinction at the time?
Most expensive animated film ever
Most expensive animated film ever, by the estimates: the bill covered six years of development, including an earlier version that was scrapped when the project was restarted in 2008.
Q 20Which veteran Disney animator first conceived Tangled and originally wanted it hand-drawn?
Glen Keane
Glen Keane, the animator of Ariel and Aladdin, was told the studio would only make the film by computer, so he pushed the software to move like pencil drawings; a heart attack in 2008 then made him give up directing it.
Fragonard
Fragonard's The Swing, all lush greenery and soft curves, was the reference: the artists wanted computer animation that looked like an oil painting in motion, not like a photograph.
Q 24Which duo directed Tangled, having previously worked together on Bolt?
Nathan Greno and Byron Howard
Nathan Greno and Byron Howard took over in 2008, when the studio restarted the film from scratch; all that survived from the earlier version was the hair, the tower and Rapunzel herself.
Q 25Who composed the songs for Tangled, working with lyricist Glenn Slater?
Alan Menken
Alan Menken built the score on the folk rock of Joni Mitchell and Cat Stevens; the long hair of that era's musicians, he admitted, was part of what made the sound feel right for Rapunzel.
Q 26'I See the Light' lost the Academy Award for Best Original Song to a song from which 2010 film?
Toy Story 3
Toy Story 3 won with Randy Newman's 'We Belong Together'; a year later the Tangled duet had its consolation, the Grammy for Best Song Written for Visual Media.
Q 27Who provides the voice of Flynn Rider in Tangled?
Zachary Levi
Zachary Levi, a self-described Disney nut, was sold on the part because it meant singing as well; the duet 'I See the Light' became the first song he ever recorded professionally.
Q 28What did Tangled's directors call the session where staff brought photos of handsome actors to help design Flynn?
The Hot Man Meeting
The Hot Man Meeting brought about thirty women from the studio together with hundreds of pictures, from Clark Gable to David Beckham; the two directors ended up as examples of what not to do.
Q 29Which sitcom actor voices the Hook Hand Thug, who dreams of being a concert pianist?
Brad Garrett
Brad Garrett's hook-handed giant starts out trying to hand Flynn in for the reward and ends up helping to break him out of prison; Jeffrey Tambor is in the same pub, as the thug who longs for love.
Q 30Rapunzel was crowned the tenth official Disney Princess in 2011 at a ceremony held at which London palace?
Kensington Palace
Kensington Palace received the nine earlier princesses in horse-drawn carriages for the coronation; Rapunzel was the first of the line to come from a computer-animated film.
