Producer Roy Conli announced Walt Disney Animation Studios' plans to refresh the Rapunzel story as TANGLED in a post on the studio's Facebook page, according to COMINGSOON.NET [1].
Here's the post announcing the 3-D animated film, which will first hit theaters on Nov. 12: "Hey everyone, I'm Roy Conli, producer of Disney's next animated film. I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio's 2010 release, Tangled. It's a really fresh, smart take on the Rapunzel story. In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We're having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who's seen it all, with Rapunzel, who's been locked away in a tower for 18 years. I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it's all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November."
Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy have all signed on to do voice work in the film.
