At one point Disney was playing around with the title of the story, calling it RAPUNZEL UNBRAIDED. This suggested it would be a fractured fairy tale in the tradition of SHREK. ORWEN: I'm so glad it's going to be a true period piece, instead, with old fashioned values and points of view. There are already plenty of contemporary movies out there to see--for those who like modern references in their movies. This time around, it would be like a breath of fresh air to have a fairy tale that's true to its time period.
