Tangled (2010)

The Worst Film Ever

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Judging by its cover the animation is really good as well as the plot and scenes. maybe not one of the best ones but definitely worth to watch. give it try. encourage friends and family the same.

A thought I've had a lot lately is "A lot of key Disney films have roots in tales and folklore" and although it's true, they manage to create and re-imagine these ol stories into something creatively vibrant and fun, and Tangled is no exception. It's a good Disney Time, filled with that good Disney Charm

I've been avoiding this in an attempt to heighten the minimal amount of masculinity that I've acquired throughout my life. Rapunzel on a pink front cover doesn't convey laddish testosterone. So I reluctantly gave in and watched it...and oh boy I'm glad I did. Disney keep astonishing me with their animations, I really shouldn't be surprised anymore. A reinterpretation of the story of Rapunzel, a princess kidnapped and locked in a tower where an evil woman utilises the power of her hair to remain youthful. A nearby thief encounters the tower and is locked in a promise to guide her to the neighbouring kingdom, against the behest of her "mother". Tangled singled handedly put Disney's animation catalogue back on track after many lacklustre titles during the mid 00s. Incredibly easy to see why, this animation had it all. Developed memorable characters brimming with personality and harmonious voices, apparently everyone can sing in this kingdom. Ranging from royalty, thugs and peasants to a determined stallion and an expressive chameleon, this array of colourful characters breathe life into the plot. A fleshed out story dealing with dreams, internal conflict and romance. A witty screenplay boosted by sarcastic dialogue that creates plenty of smiles and laughter. Whether it be the various inaccurate wanted posters of Flynn, "that smoulder" or the constant requirement and usefulness of the average frying pan, it's these little details of self-awareness that enhances a basic narrative into the realms of memorability. The animation was absolutely stunning, plenty of fluid motion. The scene involving the lifting of lanterns just floored me. Beautifully crafted. The musical numbers were catchy which is all one needs for a Disney musical. Sure, the plot was predictable and the ending was far too rushed (underwhelming demise of the antagonist) but these shortfalls hardly detract from a entertaining animation that the whole family can enjoy. Well, maybe I should tackle 'Frozen' next...

I want to start of by saying that I first watched this movie when I was 11 years old. I am now 18 and still this movie is the best that i have ever seen. It has touched me in a way no movie has before for some reason i cannot describe. Throughout the past few years movies are released and are forgotten about. Tangled is one of those movies that will stay with you forever. I love rapunzel's determination, flynn (in general!), the songs and the overall story. Tangled is a classic and im sure it will be my favourite film forever.
