Disney’s Tangled: Inspired by a Classic Painting
It is always exciting to learn the process behind any design project. There are many new things to learn from all the designers and artists working behind the scenes. Where do new ideas and inspirations come from? Disney’s Tangled features a lush environment not before seen in CG animated films. For the first time, Disney attempts to blend the look and feel of traditional hand drawn Disney films with the newer 3D animated film styles. Rococo artist Les Hasards Heureux de l’Escarpolette’s The Swing was the sole inspiration for the film’s backgrounds and environments. Rich colors and painterly strokes blanket the entire movie just like a rococo painting.
