Tangled Review

Classically executed and a pleasure for the whole family. Disney's Tangled builds the bridge between animated classics like Sleeping Beauty(1959) and Aladdin(1992) to modern animated films such as Pixar's Toy Story 3(2010) and Dreamworks' Shrek(2001). Based off the Grimm's fairy tale Rapunzel Tangled tells the story of the beautiful princess Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore), who was stolen away from her parents at birth by a selfish witch known as Mother Gothel (voiced by Donna Murphy), and locked in a tower with no doors and no stairs. With the only way to get inside is by climbing up the long golden magic hair of the princess. Locked away and alone with only a lizard as a friend, her world it suddenly turned upside down when her tower is suddenly rampaged by a common thief, Flynn Rider (voice by Zachary Levi), who has climbed the tower in order to hide from pursuing palace guards. The story is filled with adventure, romance, comedy, and drama making it surprisingly one of the best Disney has done in a long time. Complete with a wonderful score, masterful storytelling, and beautiful art. Tangled will bring a smile to even the hardest heart. It will resurrect the child in all of us and bring a smile to the youngest viewer.
