Tangled - untangled

What would it be like to have 72 ft of hair?  Disney animators observed the movements of a person who had 6 ft of hair to draw Rapunzel and how her hair would move.  What is the physics of hair?  View this video and see how the animators did their homework

I would hate to have 72feet of hair it would just be point less.the phisics of hair are that its light maybe soft or fluffy.But it moves alot when you move.\

It would be the hardest thing i've ever had to take care of. I dont understand how you could wash it, braid it, brush it, or really do anything with it! That would be impossible to me! The physics of hair is the way it moves and the characteristics of the hair.

I would hate to have 100ft of hair.It would stink to take a shower and wash my hair.Also to blowdry and straighting my hair. It would sink to go on a roller coaster and it gey caugh on the chain.Ouch

anonymous said...

Marrisa i agree with you that it would be the hardest thing ever and i dont now how you could even do anything with it.

That would be the hardest thing ever to take care of. The physics of hair is that there are hundreds of strands of hair on our head. I thought it was pretty neat to watch the video, but the hair in the movie tangled doesn't even look like the hair in Tangled. In the animation not the movie the hair starts to look real.

that is very cool how they had to take reasearch on just making hair in a movie in movies you never really notice the little things that might have taken alot of work to create

I agree with David Meiners:
I agree with David because, the hair does look soft/ and fluffy, but in the animation not the movie the hair looks hard and kinda strawy hair.

i would never what to have anything near 72ft. or hair it would be so heavy theres no way my neck would be able to hold that up.the physics of hair is the 6 foot of hair would be the same as 72ft of hair just heavier.

I would hate to have 72ft of hair because it would be so annoying and I realy wouldnt want to get made fun of.

Fairbanks,Joey said...

If I had 72ft of hair I would cut it all off. It would be really heavy too so haveing to lug all of that hair around would be hard.

i hate when guys grow long hair i think its weird plus you would probably trip over your own hair

Kamilah Williams said...

i would love to have long hair i could be in that song wve my head back and forth something like that but i would want to make my long hair curly or wavy pretty cool right
jordan malsberry you might look good with long hair haha i could ye you hair pink lol:-)

i would hate to have 72feet long hair because it is alot to take care of and it would be a hard job.and i agree with jordan malsbary if you took a shower you wouldent be able to clean it all and straighten.

It would be very hard to drag around all of this hair, also it would way alot and it would probably take a long time to grow it out this long. The physics of hair is the weight of the hair and the movemnet and the amount of hair. I thought that in the movie it was coll how they anly used about 100 strands but the human hair has about 100,000 strands.

Sara said...

@ Amanda Freel
I agrre it would take alot of time to do your hair, washing it and you have to wash it if you drag it around on the ground.

In would love it because when I was little I used to pretend that I was Rapunzel so I would try to make my hair longer by (Don't laugh) drinking lots of milk because my cousin told me If I drank lots of milk my hair would grow as long as Rapunzel's hair so I kept drinking my milk until I found out what my cousin told me wasn't true so any way it would be really cool to have 72ft of Hair.The hair follicles movement on the head.I watched the video and I thought about going to see the movie and I will when it comes to DVD so I can buy it or rent it for my Mom and I can watch it together and just enjoy a mother, Daughter movie night with the movie TANGLED!!!!

I can hardly stand to have the hair i have now, so 72 feet of hair doesnt sound like a walk in the park. the physics of hair is the weight and movement of hair.

The physics of hair is the way it moves and the characteristics of the hair.&& Having 72ft. of hair would be verrrry hard to take care of. But then again you could have some advantages to it, like you could experiment with it, and do a lot, although it would be hard to take care of it could also be very fun so for me it wouldn't really matter if I have 72ft of hair, if I got tired of taking care of it and stuff you can always cut it.

I think that if you were to have 72 ft of hair that it would be very hard to take care of and maintain.The physics of hair is the way it moves and the characteristics of the hair.

anonymous said...

it would be so hard to carry 80 pounds of hair around with me. plus its 72 feet long that makes it even worse. also i dont know how i would wash it and cant even imagin brushing it. the animation was really cool though 10,000 hairrs make up repunzles hair.

i agree with david it would be totally point less having 72 feet of hair. plus it would get really dirty if you didnt carry it.

I think that it's so cool to have six feet of hair because that's something that you don't see everyday. I think that's cool also how they modeled a woman with six feet of hair to inspire them for the movie, Tangled. Now people are really begining to become creative again.

Xavier Frisch said...

That was extremely weird and cool at the same time. Its crazy how they researched hair so much, just to make that movie.I've never thought of the physics of hair before. That was pretty interesting.

anonymous said...

I thinck that I would hate to have 72 feet have hair. I tend to hate it when I have half a foot. The physics of hair they used in this movie was how they made the hair look havyer than it realy was. I thought that tghis was very intreesting and It kind of made me think about all of the things that are involved with my hair.

I agree with david. It would realy stink to have 72 feet of hair.

I think that is crazy to have really long hair. When i was little my hair went past my hips. it would take alot of work to take care of it.

I agree with david that is crazy to have so long hair but if you cutt it off you would be doing it for a good cause.

i wouldn't like to habe 72 ft of hair cause i would trip on it and i would go threw two or three bottles of shampoo and conditioner a day so i would hate and think about it when i would want to straighten my hair or curl it dude i would need lik 10 people to help me!! lol

this clip is cool i liked it. but it would be pointless to have 72 feet of hair because you would have to contantly fix it or brush it and thats alot of time brushing it but it wouldnt be funn to have hair like that. how do u braid it its to long it would take hours. let alone try to wash it you might not be able to walk in the shower with that much hair. it would just be pointless!
