Tangled
Directed by: Nathan Greno and Byron Howard
Starring: Mandy Moore, Zach Levi
Rated: PG for brief mild violence
After years detached from their last hit, Disney Animation Studios finally returns to form of the classic Disney films with the widely successful and popular film Tangled. To do so, chief creative officer of Disney Animation Studios, John Lasseter (who is the chief creative officer for Pixar) has pushed the company away from gimmicks and returned to re-emphasizing stories and connecting on a human level with their audiences. With Tangled, Disney once again finds it’s magic. Loosely based on the fairy tale Rapunzel, this movie follows the long-haired princess, who has been locked away by her seemingly over-protective mother, but who actually is an evil kidnapper who is using Rapunzel’s magic hair for her own gain. However, the crafty thief Flynn Ryder (who seemingly reminds us of the Disney character Aladdin) crashes Rapunzel’s tower and is captured by the princess, who strikes a deal with the bandit; he must help her experience the world outside her tower, and she will, in turn, give him back the crown he had stole. And despite a quick scene of violence (which gave the film it’s PG rating), Tangled is also clean film with a pro-family message. Filled with laughs, songs, and animal side-kicks, Tangled is a fun and heartwarming story the reminds of us of the genius of Walt Disney: that the animated genre can be a moving and magical experience.
