    A fun enjoyable movie full of fluff and cheese and just good ol fashion Disney fairy tale fun. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi do a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life!

    Visually stunning and with enough sly moments to cover up a truly by the numbers fairy tale, Tangled offers viewers young and old enough to entertain.

    The musical numbers (as with most Disney films) didn't really do it for me, although I will admit to being entertained by the ... read morerowdy boys singing the I've Got a Dream thing.

    I also admit that I am not familiar with Rapunzel's story (other than some vague recollections of a girl being locked in a tower and being saved by a knight who climbs up her golden hair to rescue her), so I don't really know what liberties John Lassiter and co. took in the writing of the screenplay. Suffice to say, Rapunzel speaks in an almost 90's Valley Girl speak, so some form of updating of the source material is indeed in evidence.

    My only real problem with the film is that, in spite of the more modern sensibilities of the film, it remains couched in every single fairy tale cliché imaginable - and almost screams "This Is Disney". Perhaps that isn't a bad thing, as there is a truly beautiful and magical... dare I say "Disney" moment, when the two main characters are adrift in a small boat as lanterns drift all around them - but I couldn't help but feel that the story line was constrained by its fairy tale which is unfortunate, for there is certainly some creativity on display here, including a hilarious duel between the hero Flynn, armed with a frying pan (an ongoing joke in the film) and the sheriff's horse Maximus, who wields a sword in his teeth!

    Truly, it's some of the peripheral characters, like Maximus and Rapunzel's pet chameleon who give the film some sparkle and are far more interesting than the main characters in my opinion. As with all fairy tales, I have issues with the over simplification of things; the black or white of it if you may. That and the obvious boy meets girl and perforce falls in love bit that is the foundation of all tales. Oh, and here's a little PC moment that I felt was ridiculous: At the time when we meet Rapunzel, she is days away from her 18th birthday... how convenient and very legal of you - though her body drawing and her manner of speaking would make her out to be 14 or 15 tops - I know it's a small thing, but so much change happens between a 14 and 18 year old girl ... and I found the pronouncement of her advanced years to jarringly not fit what I was hearing and seeing on screen.

    In conclusion; a solid bit of animation that stands up to the classic Disney films of yore. If you're in the mood for sweet, simplistic tales with a bit of good natured humor thrown in, then dive in and you won't be disappointed - if you're looking for anything deeper - well, you should have known better.

    It's no secret that I'm a bit anti-Disney but I was pleasantly surprised with Tangled. It was recommended by people who generally don't let me down so I gave it a go. They've bought in fresh blood and have upped the animation, yeah sure they've re-invented a classic once again bu... read moret this time they've done it without all the Disney cliches. This film was actually genuinely funny too, without the samey slapstick and talking animals. I haven't enjoyed a Disney film since Jungle Book, maybe this is there second coming? Just ease up on the unnecessary sequels though.

    It seems like every single animated movie is going through the familiar, no-risk plotlines nowadays, but Tangled does it with genuinely funny events and memorable characters. Enjoyed it.

    Since we entered the 21st century, there haven't been any great Disney films. However, 'Tangled', I thought, although maybe not the greatest Disney film, but does deserve a place amongst Disney's finest.

    Positives:

    The best songs since 'Beauty & the Beast'
    The best animated effects since 'Toy Story'

    Negatives:
    Doesn't stand out when compared with Disney Classics.

    Bravo, Walt Disney Pictures, Bravo!

    #5 on my Animated Films list...truly a wonderful movie. Disney's 2nd best to only Beauty and the Beast! The music is lovely and reminded me of everything I loved about Disney as a kid! It's that good people, don't miss it!

    Witty montages and dialogue made me laugh out loud, characters were charming and the dependably happy "true love conquers all" Disney ending was exactly what I needed this week.

    One of the best Disney movies I've seen in a long time. The graphics are brilliant. They look life like. Rapunzel has been trapped in a tower all her life, to protect her magical hair.

    "Get tangled up"

    When I first heard about Tangled; I didn't think it would be for me. But after hearing that it was good from a lot of people who at one time didn't think they would like it; I decided to give it ... read morea try. I'm glad I did. It's a cute and funny little movie. It may have a little too much singing for my taste, but that's okay. The film has beautiful animation and great storytelling. It's surprisingly fun and ends up being an easy to like watch. Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy were all very good with their characters. 

    Tangled is an entertaining children's movie and I can say I was never bored once during the whole movie. Which I can't say about too many movies made for kids. This one is in a very select list of movies for kids that I could see myself watching again in the future.

    Beautiful animation and comedy make a solid plot, I loved it. It has every right step for a animated movie. The music was good, not perfect, but still pretty good. You are an idiot if you didnt enjoy this. Its funny and its for all ages, expect for bad movie lovers.

It's the best Disney animation in years, and a natural counterpoint to the contemporary comic style that has come to dominate the industry. Full Review
