Rapunzel

The preparatory stage for the production of the cartoon lasted for many years. The rejected 2008 script suggested a more gothic atmosphere and a complete lack of songs. There was no horse, only the Basset Hound was a touching animal. Mother Gothel was a villainess in the spirit of the Queen from Snow White.
This is the most expensive cartoon in terms of production: it cost the creators $ 260 million (most of the money was spent on creating new computer programs, for example, to animate a large amount of hair. Collecting information for the new program, the engineers watched shampoo commercials on YouTube and watched the girls with two meter hair).
