Background of “Tangled”
The original animated “Tangled” was a commercial success, earning over $591 million worldwide. It featured the voices of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. The film’s popularity inspired a 2012 short film titled “Tangled Ever After” and the “Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure” series on Disney Channel.
This project was initially announced in December 2024 but faced delays due to the less-than-stellar box office performance of “Snow White.” Although there is no official release date yet, fans of Disney’s animated classics are eagerly awaiting this live-action version.
Upcoming Disney Live-Action Projects
The live-action “Tangled” joins a growing list of Disney adaptations, including:
- The Lion King
- Beauty and the Beast
- Aladdin
- Mulan
- Dumbo
- The Little Mermaid
- Snow White
- Lilo & Stitch
The upcoming live-action version of “Moana,” featuring Dwayne Johnson as Maui, is set to hit theaters on July 10.
As the project develops, audiences will await further production details and announcements. El-Balad will provide updates on this exciting adaptation of “Tangled.”
