The Walt Disney Company is filming a live-action adaptation of the animated hit "Enredados," known in English as "Tangled," across several Spanish regions [1].
This production marks a significant step in Disney's ongoing strategy to translate its most successful animated classics into big-screen live-action remakes [1, 3]. By leveraging real-world locations to recreate fantasy environments, the studio aims to expand the reach of the original story to new audiences.
Production is primarily centered in Girona, Catalonia, where the historic center provides the backdrop for the film [1, 2]. To capture the diverse landscapes required for the story, the crew also shot additional scenes in Álava, located in the Basque Country, and Alicante in the Valencian Community [1, 2].
Reports said this project represents the longest live-action shoot the company has ever conducted within Spain [2]. The scale of the production has involved extensive location scouting, and the use of period costumes to bring the animated world to life [2].
Filming is scheduled to conclude next Monday [1]. Once principal photography ends, the project will enter a lengthy post-production phase to integrate visual effects. The film is expected to be released in approximately two years [1, 3].
Disney has not released further details regarding the cast or specific plot deviations from the original animated film, but the choice of Spanish locales suggests a commitment to a European aesthetic for the kingdom's setting [2].
“This will be Disney’s longest live‑action shoot in Spain”
The decision to film in Spain highlights Disney's preference for authentic European architecture and landscapes to ground its fantasy properties. By extending the production timeline beyond previous Spanish shoots, the company indicates a higher level of ambition for the visual scale of this specific adaptation, signaling that 'Tangled' is viewed as a high-priority asset in its remake pipeline.
