I absolutely loved this movie. I wish it could have gotten more buzz than it did, but it just opened at a bad time. I always thought "Friends on the Other Side" would look fantastic on a stage.

For the animals, they would have to take a puppet approach similar to Lion King. While I adore the film (newmans score is catchy and entertaing and would transfer well) it didn't have the draw that Disney was hoping for. I'd love to see what Disney could do with tangled
Tangled would have to be seriously expanded, I do think Flynn's backstory could be explored and both him, Rapunzel and Mother Goethel would need more songs. Pascal and Maximus would likely be cut, animals that don't talk tend not to feature in the stage adaptations.
I don't think Newman's score is as theatrical as, say, the Menken scores-- And since it goes back and forth between "real" humans, and anamorphic animals I think it would be harder to adapt than The Lion King...
