‘Tangled’ Seen as a Five-Star Winner
Walt Disney Studios’ Tangled has been hailed by old-time Disney fans as a return to the classic style they loved as kids – visually stunning scenes, tried-and-true heroes with appealing personalities, great songs and well-crafted animation. Young viewers may not have that historical perspective, but they don’t need that to fall in love with it on their own. Eight-year-old KIDS FIRST! film critic Ny’Asia Bell shares her review (and here’s a heads up, folks: The DVD release is on the near horizon):

Today I will be reviewing the animated Disney movie Tangled, starring Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider and Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel. I thought this was a great movie full of lots of action and great special effects. This movie is about a princess named Rapunzel, only she doesn’t know she’s a princess. She was stolen at birth for her magical golden hair by a wicked and selfish lady named Mother Gothel, and kept in a tower for eighteen years. For her 18th birthday, she wants to go outside to see the floating lights. What are the floating light, and does she get to go outside? You will have to see the movie for yourself to find out.
My favorite character has to be Pascal, Rapunzel’s pet lizard. Even though he never spoke a word, he played a very important role in her life. He was her best friend and only companion.
I love the scene where the girls are feeding Pascal berries, and each time they fed him a different color he turned that color. I thought that was cool, but that’s what chameleons do. Also when Pascal tries to wake Flynn Rider by slapping him with his tail then sticking his tongue in his ear, I thought that was hilarious!
I thought Mandy Moore did an outstanding job playing Rapunzel. I felt like I could really relate to her character. We both love to read, paint, and we both have a pet lizard.
I rate this movie 5 of 5 stars. I thought it was full of action, and very entertaining. I recommend this movie to kids 7 and up, because I thought Mother Gothel was a little scary.
