Vladimir is a supporting character in Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. He is one of the strongest and most menacing of the Pub Thugs. His hobby includes collecting ceramic unicorns.
Vladimir is first seen at the Snuggly Duckling pub blocking the door from Flynn Rider so that he can turn him in to the guards. However, beautiful Rapunzel halts the attempts and her desire to live her dream inspires the other thugs to reveal and embrace their dreams. Vladimir reveals to Rapunzel that he collects ceramic unicorns. Later on when the guards arrive, Vladimir covers for Flynn by turning in Shorty, another thug. And later on, near the end of the film, Flynn is arrested and Vladimir joins some other thugs in rescuing him. He grabs Conli's head and pulls him into a room away from Flynn, then runs into other guards after Ulf stops them. Vladimir is last seen watching Flynn escape with Maximus to rescue Rapunzel.
In Tangled Ever After, Vladimir attends Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding ceremony and sits alongside his fellow thugs. When Rapunzel and her father are about to walk down the isle, Vladimir quickly turns around to watch, accidentally knocking a thug out with his horn.
Vladimir is seen in Corona Castle during Eugene's verse of "Life After Happily Ever After". He, along with most of the main thugs, appears to have become one of Eugene's closest companions outside of Rapunzel and Maximus and alongside the thugs, learns of Eugene's plans to propose to Rapunzel during her coronation weekend.
In the Disney Fantasy show Wishes, Vladimir is one of the Pub Thugs that appear during the "I've Got a Dream" segment. Aboard the Disney Magic, Vladimir can be found at Rapunzel's Royal Table, as part of the character dining experience.
