All Tangled Up. :)

Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled,"
one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tale ever told.

It can not be denied that the magic of Walt Disney films have touched each
and everyone of us with timeless adventures and musical tunes that are known
for getting stuck in our heads.
:)

In a feature that revolves around hair-- no but really-- this adorable film retells the story of Rapunzel, starring Hollywood sweetheart Mandy Moore (Rapunzel) and funny man Zachary Levi as her 'prince' Flynn Ryder.

First of all, Tangled has everything you expect from a Disney film. It has catchy music, good dialogue and a charming story. It is witty and hilarious, with a bit of cliche thrown in. The comedic timing is outstanding, and it feels like every five minutes you are smiling, laughing or both. Most of the humor comes from a mix between the antics between supporting characters and dialogue spoken by Flynn Ryder and Mother Gothel.

The character of Rapunzel who has a special healing power in her long golden locks is sweet, innocent and kind which is nothing less than what you expect from a fairy tale princess. Flynn Ryder (voiced by Zachary Levi) reminds me a lot of Aladdin, where as he had a rough upbringing, turns bandit as a result of it but ultimately learns the important lessons life has to bring him and becomes the selfless prince-worthy guy we want our princess to end up with.
The biggest surprise of all was Mother Gothel. She isn't your typical "evil witch" character at all. Although her motives are selfish and ruin the lives of everyone in her path, she is downright hilarious! She has this witty way about her, where out of context the words she says would be mean and cruel but she adds a "Just teasing. I love you." and you can't help but laugh.

Possible the two most comedic characters in the movie are the royal horse and Rapunzel's partner in crime-- her chameleon. These two sub characters add charming and humorous moments even though they both don't speak a single word. Rapunzel's chameleon, Pascal has no dialogue of course. But without having to speak, he also makes you crack up throughout the entire movie, just by pointing and making funny faces. The horse, Maximus also does not talk but through his body and facial movements you get the point he is trying to get across, which is entertaining to say the least.

The movie definitely has adventurous qualities that keeps the viewers attention-- as an accidental meeting between Rapunzel and Flynn takes the audience on many thrilling adventures that are complimented by uncountable cute and comedic moments.

Personally I'm not a fan of the computer graphic animation in the newer Disney films, but in Tangled it is done so well you hardly notice it. The musical scores as well as the graphics are impressive and addictive to watch.
:)
Overall, I loved it. I don't have much to say against Tangled, which was a nice change from some of the recent projects to come from Disney. It's nice to see the fairy tale movies get back to the roots, and Tangled will remind you more of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty&The Beast and Snow White than you might expect.

and because i kinda have a teenager crush on Flynn Rider now,
MORE OF HIM below.

I know what you mean about having a crush on that guy named Eugene (AKA Flynn). Can't wait to see this movie for a third time and more when it comes out on DVD (sometime Late April Early May). This is the best Disney Movie since Lion King (not including the genius movies from PIXAR), and is a must see. Go team Flynn! =)
