The story of Little Mermaid takes place in the ocean around the coast of Denmark, where the story originates from.
This would mean that the ship sunk somewhere where the location would overlap with the place where the story of the Little Mermaid takes place. The ship had a lot of similarities to the boat that Anna’s and Elsa’s parents were on while traveling to the kingdom of Corona.
Once some fans looked at the scene closer they concluded that the ship looks oddly familiar. During the movie, there is a scene where Ariel explores a sunken ship where she looks for different small items from the human world.
#WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE KINGDOM IN TANGLED MOVIE#
Luckily for us, there is a piece of evidence in another Disney movie that confirms this location as a location of the fictional kingdom Corona. Michael in France which is surrounded by a body of water and connected to the land by a single bridge that gets flooded every time the tide is rising. To further prove this claim many people refer to the fact that the kingdom of Corona seems to be based on a real-life castle. After all, many people pointed out that the dominant architectural style throughout the movie is French gothic and not German gothic. This means that the locations are not necessarily the same. However, this is the location of the original story and not the movie Tangled. Although there is not a lot of hits as to when and where the story takes place, similarly to many different stories from the authors it is set somewhere in Germany. The story is loosely based on the Brother Grimm tale named Rapunzel. The best way to go about is to check the source material, the story of Rapunzel. The only criteria we have is the fact that it has to be able to access Norway by boat. Now we have to take a look at where can the kingdom of Corona be set. This further strengthens the connection between the two places since it has been hinted at that the two kingdoms can be connected with a boat. The popular fan theory states that Anna’s and Elsa’s parents died when their ship sank and that the very ship they died was on its way towards the kingdom of Corona. This would suggest that the kingdom of Corona is not that far away from the place where Frozen takes place and although we don’t have a clear indication or any explicit name dropping in the movie, we can conclude from all the hints in the movies that it takes place in Norway. A popular fan theory connected the two movies when Rapunzel and Flynn actually showed up in the post-credits scene where we see them attending a wedding. The first movie we can look at for clues is Frozen. Although a lot of people are aware of the fact that all of the Disney movies take place in the same universe, most people don’t know that it is probably just as connected as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Luckily we can use some clues from other Disney movies to help us answer this question. This makes it a bit harder to figure out where the kingdom actually is set on the real-world map. The question is a bit more complicated than with the other Disney movies since we do know that the story takes place in a fictional kingdom named Corona. However, as previously mentioned, The Art of Frozen verified that Frozen took place in the 1840s, implying that Gothel lived for at least 300 years by singing to the flower! Where does Tangled take place? This places us in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the movie’s prologue, Flynn claims that many generations have passed since Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel, implying that it had been more than 100 years.
The Renaissance was in the 15th and 16th centuries in Germany where the story takes place. Mother Gothel is dressed in a Renaissance-style gown. According to fashion historians, men’s and women’s clothing styles are more consistent with the early to mid-nineteenth century than the late eighteenth century. Rapunzel’s cameo in Frozen with Flynn, which is set in the 1840s (confirmed in The Art of Frozen), puts Tangled in the same period.
According to the film’s creators, Tangled takes place in the 1780s, though the appearance of books like The Little Mermaid and other on-screen evidence suggests a date closer to the 1830-40s. Two official sources place the time period in two times periods that are mutually incompatible. What is Tangled based on? When does Tangled take place in history?
