Rapunzel's room is a clear nod to Bella's room, in the castle of the movie Beauty and the Beast. Especially the closet is inspired by the character of this film.
The scene of the lamps or lanterns was one of the most complex, since each of the lanterns (more than 45,000) has thousands of micro-points of light to recreate these precious and magical glows.
When Mother Gothel appears covered with a black cloak and a basket of apples is hinting at the evil queen of Snow White, when she becomes a witch to poison her.
In the mobile toy of the baby Rapunzel are represented Maximus the horse, Pascal the chameleon and a yellow duck symbolizing the tavern of the Patito Modosito, where the ruffians are found.
In the scene in which Flynn and Rapunzel are reading stories, one can see in the window pages of the book of Sleeping Beauty. Similarly, the cover of the book on the floor is the logo of the musical of Beauty and the Beast, and the story of the table is none other than the Little Mermaid.
When Rapunzel opens his painting box, he lets us see a Mickey Hidden or Hidden Mickey reflecting the silhouette of this well-known Disney symbol.
One of the ruffians of the Patito Modosito is inspired by Nathan Greno, one of the directors of the film. As a key information, we can see the same tattoos that the filmmaker has in reality.
In promotional images, it is not known if it was on purpose or something of an animator independently, we can see the letters SEX in Tangled, and it is something that can be checked in any official material of the film without any retouching.
In this scene we can see the wheel that symbolizes the film of Sleeping Beauty. In addition, we know that the director of the film was inspired by his own daughter and his love of painting the walls to create this facet of Rapunzel's personality.
In the scene of the tavern are hidden two well-known Disney characters, one of them is Pinocchio, and the other is a boar inspired by Pumba, from the movie The Lion King.
