first term paper outline: tangled

  • Introduction
    • Tangled (2010)
    • 3D Feature Film Animation
    • The laws of physics are pushed in the 3D animated feature film, Tangled, as it follows the adventures of Rapunzel and her incredibly long, golden hair.
  • Paragraph 1: Mass and weight
    • Her hair is ridiculously long, to inhuman lengths. 
    • Hair of that length is around 80 pounds.
    • She is able to keep her head up and run with that amount of weight.
  • Paragraph 2: Strength
    • She is able to use her hair to pull up Mother Gothel and Flynn Rider
    • The ultimate tensile strength of human hair is 380MPa
    • This means that Rapunzel’s hair could support a maximum weight of 27kN
    • According to an article, this meant that Rapunzel's hair could support the weight of Mother Gothel and Flynn Rider
    • But again, we are talking about magical hair
  • Paragraph 3: Scalp and neck
    • Rapunzel's hair flows behind her despite how much it weighs, if pressure was applied, her hair would rip out of their roots
    • Her whole body is able to stand upright despite the weight that is being put on her body, especially her neck
    • She can jump, cartwheel, and swing with her hair.
  • Paragraph 4: Magical powers
    • Her hair has magical powers that can heal wounds by stopping the bleeding and completely sealing the wound.
    • Has the power to reverse one's age so they appear younger
  • Conclusion
    • A lot of laws of physics were required to be broken to make this film
    • Though some physics were involved to make it work such as hair strength
    • In the end, by breaking these laws of physics, a film was made that shows that hard work and a good heart can come a long way
