Corrected entry: Pascal is a chameleon, the type of reptile that camouflages. That is, whenever a chameleon blends with an object or another creature, the color it changes to must exactly match with that object or creature. While the depressed Rapunzel lies on her bed after feeling betrayed by Flynn, Pascal obviously appears to be blending with her purple dress, but it's blue at the moment, instead. (01:40:00)

Correction: He's not trying to blend into her dress, he's turning blue because he is sad. He does the same when they are on the boat and Flynn and Rapunzel are singing together - Pascal turns red because he is embarrassed.

Corrected entry: When Flynn knocks the Captain of the Guards off his horse, Maximus, and starts riding him himself, Maximus stops to realize Flynn was on his back and becomes furious. In this scene and the scene where he finds Flynn sleeping in the forest, he shows he's furious, but with the ears still pointing up. A horse indicates its anger by flattening its ears alongside its head and pinning its ears down as far as they can go. That's what position Maximus should have had his ears in. (01:40:00)

Correction: Since Tangled is a cartoon, you can't expect the animals to conform to what animals do in the real world. Real chameleons can't change color as quickly as Pascal can, just as real horses can't sneak around or swordfight like Maximus can. Pascal and Maximus are essentially caricatures of animals, and so there is some suspension of disbelief allowed in regards to what they can do.

Corrected entry: After stabbing Flynn and accepting Rapunzel's plea to heal him, Mother Gothel locks him to a chain to prevent him from following them. And so, Flynn is confined for the rest of the final scene of the tower - verily before and after Rapunzel heals him. It is inferred that Gothel, who eventually dies, is the only person who has the key to the cuff. The subsequent scene shows Flynn has somehow made it back the kingdom with Rapunzel, but how did he get loose from the chain? (01:40:05)

Correction: It's also "inferred" that Rapunzel, having been locked in the tower since birth, could easily uncover any hiding places. Or Mother Gothel had it on her and it was recovered. Or they were able to get a blacksmith to remove it. There are any number of possibilities.

White Lock

Corrected entry: During the exposition of the film, young Rapunzel is shown walking down a staircase past a room where Mother Gothel is sleeping. Later in the film, however, it is clear that there is only one staircase in the tower with no doors along it.

Correction: In the exposition, young Rapunzel reaches the bottom of the stairs and then passes the door to Gothel's room; it is never shown on the staircase. Later scenes throughout the film confirm that Gothel's room is on the bottom floor of the tower; although the door is sometimes covered by a red velvet curtain like Rapunzel's.

Corrected entry: When Flynn, who is tied to the boat by the Stabbington Brothers, gets arrested, he also had the tiara. Yet, later, as Rapunzel realizes she's the lost princess, she places the tiara on her head. If Flynn had it last and the guards retrieved it from him, then how did it get all the all to Rapunzel's tower? (01:40:00)

Correction: The tiara she placed on her head was just a memory of when she saw her reflection wearing it. The camera zooms out of her eye showing that this was taking place in her mind.

Corrected entry: In the pub, after the Stabbington Brothers knock out the solitary guard who was left in charge of them, they set each other free by cutting their chains each in half. At that point, the shackles remain on their wrists, but for the rest of the movie those shackles disappear. (01:40:05)

Correction: They used what was available to get the chains cut, then some time later, off camera, managed a way to get the shackles off too.

Phixius

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, Rapunzel and Pascal are playing hide and seek. When Rapunzel finds Pascal on the ledge outside, he is blending in with the flowers painted on the clay flower pot. The next time they show the flower pots they are just plain clay, there are no flowers painted on them.

Correction: In the corner, the flowers are on the pot.

Continuity mistake: When Rapunzel wraps her hair around Flynn's hand she does so six to seven times. When the camera pans to the hand, it shows a criss cross pattern. That would require at most, 2 or 3 times, of wrapping the hair around.When the glow of the hair reaches Flynn's hand, the hair is wrapped in a straight formation. Then when the hand is healed Flynn unwraps it, with no more than one to two revolutions of wrapped hair.

Flynn Rider: I have dreams like you, no really. Just much less touchy-feely. They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny. On an island that I own, unarrested and alone. Surrounded by enormous piles of money!

Trivia: All of the creatures in baby Rapunzel's mobile are referenced later in the movie. The blue bird is the first creature she encounters after leaving the tower (it flies around her head when she sings "completely free"). There is also a white horse (Maximus), a chameleon (Pascal), a yellow duck (The Snuggly Duckling), and a cherub (the old man who dresses like an angel in "I've got a Dream").

More trivia for Tangled

Question: Is it possible the king and queen could recognize Rapunzel as their long lost daughter, despite her short brown hair, when they knew she was born with long golden hair? If so, then how?

Answer: It's entirely possible. Rapunzel has a similar face appearance to her mother's, and you could also count the family bond of simply knowing. She also has green eyes, which are uncommon, so the parents probably knew that she was unlikely an impostor.
