the hair as yellow as corn

Originally we were going to have hair that was all out, all flowing. But then we looked at it, and I did a bit of a test. It was a nightmare on set, the maintenance of it— 30, 35-foot-long hair. It [was] going to pick up everything. We’d have to employ at least three people to look after it. The plait made it a bit more practical. We decided to make it not so lovely and neat. There are bits of hair hanging out, which is how it would be if you had 35-foot-long hair.

It look three people to plait it. Each had a strand, and we did it in the corridor outside the makeup room. Literally it was like a maypole dance in the 1950s in England. Then what we did after that is we literally attached it to her head and wove her hair at the back into the plait to make it look like her own hair. [Mackenzie Mauzy] was fantastic, really professional, and we helped her with it. She’d hang it over the back of her seat when she sat down.

When you see in the film, with the Witch climbing up, that’s the real plait. The hair is very strong. What we did is in the middle of each strand, we put a very thin climbing rope and wove the three into the plait.

The idea of someone combing her hair all day was very Disney princess, and what we wanted to do was steer away from the Disney image. She’s very cross. She’s been kept up here. She’s not allowed to cut her hair. So like a teenager would, the last thing she’d do is keep it nice. You’ve got that whole teenage rebel thing… It’s all a little bit reverse psychology. I think in real life, if there’s a girl who’s always been told she has the most beautiful hair, the first thing she wants to do is cut it off.

I See The Light Rapunzel animated gif Here’s the first in my new Disney Princess animated GIF series! Started it off with my favorite princess, Rapunzel staring up at the floating lights. The animated bits here are quite subtle since this is a very pensive moment in the story, so I hope you can spot all the things that move! (Hint: there are five)

Phillip drew me Rapunzel a while back because he’s a big sweetie pie <3 (and I’m the worst friend for JUST posting this).

He’s open for commissions btw! So you can get your own beautiful drawing of whaaaaaaaatever you want :)

Reblogging for that last one.

A visual development piece I did for Rapunzel in a very early, very different version of Tangled.

Speaking of which, the podcast I did for The Creative Writer’s Toolbelt is now up on iTunes. I had a wonderful time speaking with Andrew about my process and inspiration on Tangled, Frozen and my new book Once Upon A Cloud. Listen here:
