TANGLED

The story we all grew up with is back and better than ever. The lovable tale of Rapunzel is here with an all new comical and musical twist, and things are about to get "Tangled!" I really enjoyed this film. The music is excellent and extremely funny. The voice of Mandy Moore as Rapunzel is fantastic. She is really talented. She is totally perfect for Rapunzel's bubbly voice and character, while empowering viewers to follow their hearts. Plus, she can really sing. Her voice is super clear, and I really loved hearing her beautiful singing. Zachary Levi, the voice of the kingdom's most wanted bandit, Flynn Rider, is amazing! Just listening to him talk makes me laugh. He does an excellent job. The colorful animation is great as well and adds brilliance to a familiar story. I wasn't sure how I would like this movie, especially because of the fact that it is a musical, but I was so surprised how much I fell in love with it. My favorite character is Maximus, Flynn Rider's blood hound of a horse. I like this character because of his hilarious facial expressions and outstanding personality. My absolute favorite scene that sticks with me is the montage right after Rapunzel leaves the tower with Flynn, because she is totally battling with herself. This movie is most definitely for all ages, even teens. So if you want a good laugh, and awesome animation, then this movie is perfect for you. So go on and get Tangled!!!

Walt Disney's new animated feature Tangled takes the story of Rapunzel and gives her a proper make-over. When Princess Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) is born with a head full of magical golden hair, an evil old woman, Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), steals the baby and locks her safely away in a hidden tower. For 18 years, she raises the girl as her own, using the powers of Rapunzel's magic hair as her personal fountain-of-youth. Enter the handsome rogue, Flynn Ryder (Zachary Levi). Fresh from stealing the crown jewels, he's chased into the woods where he stumbles upon the fabled Tower and encounters the stir-crazy and persuasive Rapunzel and her impossibly long locks. What follows is an adventure-filled trek where the unlikely couple must evade the law, the bad guys and Mother Gothel if they are going to discover romance, redemption and truth. Tangled covers comfortable territory for Walt Disney Animation - A beautiful, long-lost princess; a handsome young thief redeemed by love; a conniving, self-centered Mother figure; a family reunion and wedding...stop me if you've heard this one before. But while the formula may leave you with that deja-vu feeling, the movie leaves you thoroughly entertained. Complete with catchy tunes by the immensely talented Alan Menken, a laugh-out-loud funny script by Dan Fogelman (Cars; Bolt), and engaging performances by the vocal cast, there is a lot to enjoy here. Particularly fun are the animal characters - a horse who thinks he's a dog and a chameleon side-kick with a wicked tongue - and the gang of baddies turned goodies dubbed the Pub Thugs who, down deep, are just sensitive, frustrated artists. The film is rated PG for sequences of cartoon violence - Rapunzel's weapon of choice is a cast-iron frying pan which she uses with authority to protect herself. Very young children might find Mother Gothel to be a slightly frightening character, especially when she meets her demise. Otherwise, the film is suitable for all ages. (My husband who generally dislikes musicals and my twin 7th graders - boys - all loved it, if that's any indication!). Tangled was released in Disney 3D Digital on November 24.

When the kingdom's most wanted--and most charming--bandit Flynn Rider (voice of ZACHARY LEVI) hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of MANDY MOORE), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for her ticket out of the tower she's been locked away in for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an overprotective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. Tangled is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair--lots of hair.
