Tangled Fun Facts


Hair is everywhere in the new Disney movie, Tangled.

Here are some fun facts about all that hair in the movie.

  • Rapunzel has 70 feet of golden hair. That’s more than 100,000 individual strands!

  • Special software had to be created to simulate movement for the hair, no one had ever animated that much hair before and no leading lady has ever had that much hair before!

  • If all the hairs on a single head of hair 12 inches long were laid end-to-end, they would stretch 26 miles. If all the hair on Rapunzel’s head were laid end to end they would stretch for 1,820 miles.

  • Hair software engineer Kelly Ward (one of three software experts charged with creating the hair simulation for Rapunzel and all of the film’s main characters) got her computer science PhD in the study of hair, and has spent the last ten years specializing in that area. She is considered one of the leading experts in her field.

  • Ten women from the production grew their hair out during the making of the film; ultimately each cut about 10 inches of hair to donate to an organization that makes real-hair wigs for people who’ve lost their hair due to illness.

Von Anthony Salon will give a free hair cut to those who want to donate their hair to Locks of Love.
