Never leave the kingdom
The closest we will ever get to knowing what it would feel like to wander through the streets of the Corona island-village. Views from Mont St. Michel, France.
Mont St. Michel in Normandy, France, inspired our castle in “Tangled.” It sits out in the bay surrounded by water and feels so very fairy tale-like. When I visited it I knew this has to be the kingdom that Rapunzel will someday be Queen of. -GLEN KEANE
Lead animator Glen Keane and others have said that Mont St. Michel was the inspiration for the island setting of the Corona castle and village. It’s location in Normandy, France, however, is at odds with many other parts of the movie, meaning it is not a good candidate for the setting of a real-world Kingdom of Corona.
