Tangled - Dress Form & Fitting
In a scene inspired by Cinderella, a cute little animal helps make a dress. In addition to Pascal's animal assistance, a dress form stands in the background, another subtle nod to Cinderella.
In Cinderella, friendly mice and birds famously sewed her pink gown by using an old dress form in her tower room. Instead of sewing the gown himself, Pascal helps Rapunzel pass the time by getting fitted as her model.

Tangled - Black Cloak and Basket of Apples
Mother Gothel appears at Rapunzel's tower wearing a hooded black cloak and carrying a basket of red apples. She seems to be paying homage to Queen Grimhilde from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. Desperate to satisfy her vanity, the evil queen transformed herself into an Old Hag, hoping to trick Snow White. Wearing a hooded black cloak, the old hag offered Snow White a poisonous treat from her basket of red apples.

Tangled - Wardrobe
The large wardrobe next to Rapunzel's bed resembles the one from Belle's castle bedroom in Beauty and the Beast. Though its missing the two bottom drawers, Rapunzel's wardrobe shares a similar shape to the gold-accented white wardrobe from the Beast's castle.
The castle wardrobe was voiced by Jo Anne Worley, the raven haired comedienne from Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.

Tangled - Director Cameos
Disney Animators often use caricatures of friends and colleagues to style specific characters. Following that tradition, Tangled directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, inspired two of the Snuggly Duckling Tavern thugs. At the bottom right is Thug #1, resembling Nathan Greno. Holding on to Flynn's right arm is Thug #2, inspired by Byron Howard. In addition to their likenesses, Greno and Howard also provided the character voices.
