Twisted. Knotted. Tousled. Braided.

According to International Film Journal, Tangled was “utterly charming, visually sumptuous and often witty, this new 3D musical rendition of the old fairy tale about Rapunzel and her endless mane of flaxen hair will delight youngsters and teens while holding the attention of the more hair-challenged among audiences." Tangled, a new Disney film is based on the original story of Rapunzel, but with a twist. Even know the film was somewhat predictable being a kid’s movie, I truly enjoyed it. The plot was dramatic and intriguing. The film dealt with your emotions. One moment you would feel ecstatic, one moment you would want to cry, one moment you would be wrapped up in suspense, and all back again. The plot consisted of the typical Rapunzel story; the twist is first seen with her rescuer, Flynn Rider. He was in place of prince charming; however, in this story he was a thief with good looks. He takes her on an adventure to the castle. Ultimately, Flynn Rider and Rapunzel fall in love. Who would’ve thought? Anyways ending in a happily ever after. Not only was it romantic, but a comedy as well where I got a few giggles out of it. Next, I liked the characterization of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Who doesn’t love and pity Rapunzel? The writer and producer made her character very likable and round. She could sing, she was artistic; she was visually stunning with her golden hair, and her overall personality was a delight. Every little girl would strive to be like her. Her overall personality is adventurous and very innocent because she has been trapped in this hidden tower for 18 years of her life. The other character I liked was Flynn Rider, the thief. He represented kind of a bad boy and was handsome at the same time. At one point in the movie when he meets Rapunzel while being tied up, he tries to woe her with his “smolder”. His character adds humor to the film, which is refreshing. Next, the film was visually satisfying. I saw it in 3D and there were excellent special effects. For example, they mastered the movement of Rapunzel’s locks making her hair look realistic. Disney has come a long way from the movies I watched as a child. In conclusion, I would recommend this movie to all ages, even know it is directed to kids, it was overall a fun movie to watch.
