Sypnosis: A smart, modern revamp of the classic Rapunzel fairytale - complete with the world's most kick ass chameleon sidekick and the next best weapon to a stiletto: The Saucepan.
My excuse is, I have an 8-year old sister. And ok, I'm a sucker for happy endings. But I think for the first time ever, Disney did a pretty good job of fooling me into thinking they were ditching their standard happily-ever-after ending for their last ever (sob!) fairytale (but we'll get to that later.)
I loved the animation, it was absolutely stunning (especially's Rapunzel's huge green eyes!) The new tweaks to this classic fairytale were great, what with the not-so-princely Wanted thief Flynn Rider unexpectedly stumbling across Rapunzel's hiding place and being subsequently assaulted with a saucepan, a complete transformation of the evil witch/mother model, and a central theme running more on the lines of chasing after one's dreams rather than the usual damsel-meets-prince-charming stereotype.
It was a real winner with my sister, so grab your nearest kid and swing by the movie theatre - Tangled is sure to guarantee many laughs, a few tears, and one hell of a good time!
P.S. Re: What I said earlier, I read in The West magazine that apparently Disney will not be producing any more of it's well-loved fairytales, as it believes they're no longer what audiences are looking for. However, after Tangled's success, perhaps they'll have a change of heart?
Much love,
