Tangled in Tahiti
Alternate title: Good enough to inspire, but not enough to actually be in.

John and Nancy Lasseter's Romantic Anniversary in Bora Bora Inspired Tangled's Lantern Sequence
LaughingPlace Newsdesk -- In a recent interview John Lasseter explains his very special connection with the floating lanterns in Tangled.
John Lasseter and his wife celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in Bora Bora, Tahiti. During their stay at the resort, the head of food service who had lived in Indonesia for years brought out a special gift for the couple - a lantern.
*snip for space -Kia*
While developing Tangled, Lasseter mentioned the story to the creative team and with further research they discovered festivals in Southeast Asia where thousands of lanterns light up the sky. The team had never seen anything quite like it. "So," says Lasseter, "it became an inspiration for the movie."
