Tangled
SCORE: 92
I was talking to a friend recently who
thought Disney has lost their touch over recent years. I disagreed, and
Tangled is a movie that I submit as evidence. This Rapunzel retelling is
interesting. A magical flower heals the pregnant queen, and she passes
it to her daughter. The daughter's hair has the power to heal. An old
nasty lady knew about the flower, and finds out about the hair. She
wants to stay young forever, and does not care about anyone else.
The animation in Tangled is top notch. The technology to create her hair
is astounding. The horse that acts like a dog (Maximus), and the
chameleon are great animal characters with a lot of range. Especially
the horse. Tangled includes some very memorable scenes like the
lanterns. There is some cartoon violence that mainly involves skillets.
Skillets are used as weapons.
Mother knows best is a song that is still stuck in my head. Tangled
contains numerous humorous scenes that touch all ages of the family.
Pascal is a great character in Tangled. Our kids enjoyed his humor as
well as all the skillet humor. There is one scene with some scary
looking characters who break out into an amazing song. Flynn Rider is a
criminal, who falls into the right place at the right time.
Tangled contains deleted scenes, the making of a fairy tale, original
storybook openings, and more. I really liked the commercials that were
done in various ways. Kids enjoy Tangled, and I know adults do as well.
We have already watched this film numerous times. Family Friendly Gaming
was provided with the Blu-ray + DVD package. The Blu-ray includes more
bonus features than the DVD, which is something I would expect.
Tangled is sort of like an onion. There are layers upon layers in the
story. A viewer can watch it, and enjoy it for what it is. Others can
dig a little deeper and find some interesting topics. Selfishness is
touched upon in Tangled, as well as honesty, doing the right thing, and
love. The thief turns his back on the life of crime, and the princess
discovers the truth to her past. She has to disobey, but that
disobedience is to her kidnapper.
The humanity and the humor of Tangled is what sticks out to me. Most of
the characters do the right thing in this movie, and I really appreciate
that. The most evil character in Tangled gets her own reward. What makes
Tangled so sad is it is the kind of thing that could happen. If there
were some magic to keep us young forever, there would be people who
would give everything to attain it. They would do anything, say
anything, and imprison anyone. Thankfully good triumphs over evil in the
end.
