The Tangled live-action sneak peeks have us seeing the light about Rapunzel and Flynn’s latest adventures.
We’ve been counting down the days until we get to see Teagan Croft (Rapunzel) and Milo Manheim (Flynn Rider) on the big screen. Since the start of the movie’s production, sneak peeks from the Tangled live-action set have taken over our feeds (and shown us these stars in action). Today we’re dishing all the deets about what these on-set sneak peeks reveal about the live-action fate of our fave Disney duo.
The Long Lost Princess Look

Carrying on the legacy of an iconic Disney princess is a heavy task (literally). Photos of Teagan on set often show her balancing her weighty blonde wig and Spain’s summer heat with a handheld fan between scenes. Fans have noted slight changes in Rapunzel’s live-action look, including textured purple sleeves that differ from the original sheer, pink look. In fact, it seems as though Rapunzel is ditching the pink altogether, with purple puff sleeves and bodice strings as well.
Footage of Rapunzel and Flynn riding into the kingdom shows the flow of the dress’ *multiple* layers, which gives Rapunzel more lived-in dimension (perfect for the princess who makes her own clothes)!
The Outlaw Ready To Steal Our Hearts

According to a March interview (linked here!), Milo Manheim has been waking up at 5 a.m. every morning, taking parkour classes and horse riding to prepare for Flynn Rider. And based on these live-action leaks–it’s working. Milo has been spotted gathering Teagan’s long locks, bonding with Maximus and waving from castle tops.
A couple of behind-the-scenes photos of Milo solo in front of the camera have fans questioning whether or not he will receive a solo song in the movie’s soundtrack. With Milo’s vocal talents, we are hoping to see Flynn (temporarily…) trade the smolder for a serenade (the vibe of Prince Eric’s “Wild Uncharted Waters,” perhaps?).
The Villains We Love To Hate

Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel has also stunned in some behind-the-scenes photos. The live-action Mother Gothel can be seen in an off-the-shoulder red dress, black tulle petticoat and enchanting black curls. And honestly, her look has us wanting to incorporate Rapunzel’s magic into our self-care routine (the mother who knows best can be found at this link!).
Patrick and Hugo McPherson as the Stabbington Brothers have also been filmed scaling the side of a castle. The spectacle has us thinking that these two *are* their own stunt doubles–and given the brawn on these bandits, we’re not surprised.
Corona Kingdom’s Color Controversy

Other than her luscious locks, many would say purple is Rapunzel’s top brand element. Beyond her signature dress, we see purple and gold as Corona’s kingdom colors–which ends up being one of the visual cues that her *real* home is in the castle.
Within the onset footage, fans have noticed that Corona’s banners seem to indicate a shift in kingdom colors from purple to blue. And–while only a couple months into filming–this might be the movie’s first controversy (DW, it’s a live-action tradition at this point).
Fans are concerned that this difference dims the classic purple Rapunzel fans associate with the beloved character. On the other hand, many think that this blue enhances the castle’s depressed energy without the missing princess. But given that purple is a tricky color to capture on camera, we’re holding out hope that post-production edits can work the same magic as Rapunzel’s hair to bring back the purple we know and love.
