Following a revision in the script, the thief's original name, "Bastion", was changed to "Flynn", paying homage to early Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, with whom the character shares similar characteristic traits[citation needed].
Moore, Levi and Murphy replaced the originally announced voice actors Kristin ChenowethDan Fogler and Grey DeLisle.

Review:
I, as I have said before (whether or not I have said it online it does not matter), I have fallen in love with this movie!  Between the intense action scenes there is comic relief whether it be through a 3-4 minute long musical scene or a 4 second joke that is cracked by one of the characters.  After seeing Flynn you start to think he is one of those overly confident arrogant types (which reminds me of one of the traits of a true hero which is tragic flaw), but through the adventure he takes with Rapunzel he begins to realize that there is more to life than tricks and thievery; he discovers love.   This love story twisted (or should I say "tangled") in an action packed adventure shows the "ups" and "downs" of the typical fairytale roller coaster but with a bit of a twist.  I have to say Disney impressed me very much this time.

I would recommend this movie to any Disney fan and anyone who is a fan of comedies or love stories.  This is a truly great and emotional adventure that has been animated and I could watch it a million times over and the story would never get old.


That's all for now...
