Who directed the film Tangled?

Who directed the film Tangled? Nathan Greno and Byron Howard directed it together.

Both filmmakers were already associated with Walt Disney Animation Studios before Tangled. Howard had directed Bolt, while Greno had worked as a storyboard artist and story supervisor, including on Bolt. They replaced Glen Keane and Dean Wellins during Tangled's development after the project was reworked.

Tangled was released in 2010 as Disney's computer-animated adaptation of the German fairy tale Rapunzel. Its production blended three-dimensional CGI with a painterly visual style inspired partly by traditional Disney animation and Rococo artwork. That combination sometimes leads viewers to associate the film more strongly with Glen Keane, who remained an important creative figure, but he was not the final credited director.

The same directing partnership later continued with the animated comedy Zootopia, which Howard co-directed with Rich Moore and Jared Bush. Tangled's two-director credit is therefore not a shorthand for one person: both Greno and Howard are the canonical answer.
