What was the production budget of Tangled?

What was the production budget of Tangled? Its reported production budget was $260 million. The figure is generally presented as an estimate, but it is the standard budget associated with Disney's 2010 animated film.

Tangled spent about six years in production and required an unusually ambitious combination of computer animation and painterly visual design. The filmmakers wanted computer-generated imagery that retained some of the warmth and stylization of traditional Disney animation. Building Rapunzel's extraordinarily long hair was one of the production's most demanding technical problems.

At the time, the $260 million estimate made Tangled one of the most expensive animated films ever made, and often the most expensive. The exact accounting can vary because film budgets are not always fully disclosed, and reported figures may differ depending on whether certain development or marketing costs are included.

The budget is also easy to confuse with the film's box-office total. Tangled earned roughly $592.5 million worldwide, more than twice its reported production cost, although box-office revenue is not the same as studio profit because theaters and distribution expenses take a share.
