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.
