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.

Lyra Vanessa

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

Continuity mistake: After Flynn complains to the Stabbington Brothers about his nose getting messed up on his wanted posters, they are found by the mounted guards. If you look closely at the shot of the guards on the cliff, one of the horses led by Maximus is grey. Even in the shot when they gallop over the hill top in chasing Flynn - who has just abandoned his partners - one of the horses up front next to Maximus is grey. In the next shot when the captain demands his soldiers to retrieve Flynn's satchel for whatever it took, all the horses following Maximus are brown. (01:40:05)

More trivia for Tangled

Question: Since Maximus was the only one who went to gather the pub thugs in order to save Flynn from being hanged, I've got to ask two questions. 1) How were the thugs able to trust him? After all, when Maximus bursts into their pub after one of them helps Rapunzel and Flynn escape into the tunnel, they know he's the Captain's horse who was hunting them down. 2) How was Maximus able to communicate with the thugs so they would know what kind of situation Flynn was in?

Answer: Maximus has a very expressive face, and is adept at some hand (hoof?) gestures. When he showed up he must have had such an insistent and desperate expression that they agreed to help. Perhaps the mime thug helped them to decode Maximus' pantomimed communications.
