On November 24, 2010, the day of the film's release, directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard disputed reports that the title change was a marketing decision. They said they changed the title from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled" because Rapunzel is not the only main character in the film. They went on to say that you cannot call "Toy Story" ""Buzz Lightyear"," and they really needed a title that represented what the film is, and that it's a duo, and it stars Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.
