Rapunzel Dancing in the Sunlit Courtyard by Thomas Kinkade Studios

The day is bright with vibrant sunshine, which seems to glisten and sparkle on the stones and flowers. Flynn is looking deeply into the eyes of Rapunzel as he twirls her around the courtyard.

Artwork inspired by Walt Disney Studios' 2010 animated film character Rapunzel in - Tangled.

Key Points

• The mural in Rapunzel Dancing in the Sunlit Courtyard features a portrait of Rapunzel as a baby with her parents, King Frederic and Queen Arianna of Corona.
  
• Can you find the Stabbington Brothers hidden in this painting?
• Share Rapunzel
• Did you know that Walt Disney himself began to adapt the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel" into a feature-length animated film in the 1930s, but ultimately decided against going forward with the project because he felt the story was too "small" for the times? Rapunzel became the 10th official Disney Princess in 2010, almost 80 years later.
• Disney filmmakers Nathan Greno and Byron Howard developed the character of Pascal as a lizard rather than as a woodland animal because they felt that a fun and quirky girl like Rapunzel would have a non-traditional sidekick.
• Pascal and Maximus were created as non-speaking characters, inspired by the performances of silent actors Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.
