From Disney comes the teaser poster for Tangled, soon to be spotted in a theater lobby near you.

In anticipation of this week's release of Toy Story 3, Disney has let loose its second trailer for Tangled. The studio's decision to rename the movie from Rapunzel to Tangled is evident in this new preview, heavily centered on the male lead.

Rapunzel has changed its title to Tangled. The announcement was first heard on the Walt Disney Animation Studio's Facebook page:

"Hey everyone, I'm Roy Conli, producer of Disney's next animated film. I have some exciting news to share, and it was important to me that YOU guys – the Disney fans – hear it first. I want to tell you about Walt Disney Animation Studio's 2010 release, Tangled. It’s a really fresh, smart take on the Rapunzel story. In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair. We're having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who's seen it all, with Rapunzel, who's been locked away in a tower for 18 years. I’m so proud of the crew working on this film – they’re doing a fantastic job creating an awesome story with great characters and a stunning world – and it's all going to look amazing in 3D. All of us here at the studio are incredibly excited for you to see Tangled when it comes out in theaters this November."

Mandy Moore will provide the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's digital 3D movie. Cast in the role of the male lead (described as a "dashing bandit") is Zachary Levi of NBC's Chuck. Moore first got her fame as a singer before moving into acting for such films as Saved! and License to Wed.

The Walt Disney Animation Studios website has posted five new pieces of concept art from Rapunzel. They're nice, they're pretty and you can see them by clicking on "visual development" on the WDAS page or viewing them in our gallery.

There's still been no confirmation by Disney as to who is providing the voices of the characters but there are rumored names such as David Schwimmer, Kristin Chenoweth, Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Gary Gubler, Dan Fogler, and Grey DeLisle.

Amongst their line-up of animated films scheduled for the next five years, Disney supplied a synopsis for their CG-animated Rapunzel film:

"In this new telling of the classic fairy tale, Rapunzel, audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses.  Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair…lots of hair, when Rapunzel unleashes her locks in theaters for the 2010 holiday."

The film will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D. As well as supplying the synopsis, the studio released an image of the heroine as well as title artwork. You can see both of them in our Rapunzel gallery.
