Tangled

Great little movie, has all the expected parts of a Disney story. Girl with evil stepmom, orphaned guy, funny characters, singing, humour that would go right over kids heads so it is also fun for grown ups to watch. Our very sensitive child was okay watching it, even the dangerous scene where the big rock pillar almost falls on the as the escape ( à la Indiana Jones) was not too dramatic. I like how it pprtrays the wicked witch/ mother Gothel as a person that is essentially emotionally abusive. She keeps saying mean things and then goes, oh I am just joking. I hope this will stick in young girls minds and they will recognize this as bad behavior later on and not put up with it!

Having a mother that is a big fan of Disney movies and growing up with them I started to feel that I may be growing a little bit out of their style of movie making at least in the animated department till I took my sister us both in our mid-30s to see this film on the merits of the commercials looked like the characters were having fun and that we were both fans of the TV show Chuck and we weren't disappointed we had a great time at the movie theater and it was a wonderful display of classically animated Disney movies wanting to see the movie Brave next we missed that one till we bots the blue Ray that one is a little bit more of a drama than this one but just as good just not as fun but I would recommend buying it both movies I tried to see streaming over the Internet and was very disappointed by the lag so for my mother's Christmas present last year and birthday present last year we bought both of these movies and were not disappointed by the quality of the Blu-ray edition my only complaint is there is really no way to keep the paper covering of the DVDs or Blu-ray this in pristine condition without becoming a storage unit and putting them in a bag if you're going to use the discs. This is a great movie for a mother and her children and maybe a lighthearted father to watch there is action and comedy throughout the whole film and a little bit of danger here and there but nothing to nightmarish there may be a point when the woman that was keeping Rapunzel prisoner gets her comeuppance that might be hard to explain to small children

I loved this film, I am a 23 yr old woman and I have been a fan of disney and animation films since i have been little and I still find them wonderful to watch. I couldn't wait for this to be released onto DVD and I have to say my expectations were met, this movie was lovely, the animation was so cute, and the storyline was very good. This film never lost my attention and I have actually watched it 3 or 4 times since I have owned it, even my husband enjoyed this film. This movie is a feel-good movie, so if your having a bad day this could cheer you up. This film is targeted for children and I think any child would love this film, the music is put together well and all the characters are well done, the horse was my favorite and he had humorous personality which was fun. I would recommend this to all age groups, this film was put together well, the storyline is great,and you will find a few laughs along the way. I was not a fan of Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp, i found that movie wierd and scarey and I think a lot of children would find it frightening, so Im glad Disney put out a film that is the complete opposite and this film blew Alice in Wonderland out of the water, this is now one of my fav. Disney movies.

Love this movie! Came in great condition and gets watched on the regular! One of our favorite Disney movies!!

For Disney's 50th animated movie, they have returned to their roots, sort of. They had added a new princess to the long line of fairy tale heroines in their stable, dating back to Snow White in their first movie. However, instead of traditional hand drawn animation, they've chosen to make Rapunzel their first computer animated princess. While this doesn't bode well for those who want to see both forms flourishing side by side, Tangled itself is wonderful. When the queen was pregnant with Rapunzel, she became sick to the point of death. The only way to cure her was to find a magical plant. The plant was the secret of Mother Gothel (voice of Donna Murphy), who used it to keep herself eternally young. Mother Gothel soon discovered that Rapunzel's hair had that magical property, but if her hair was cut, it lost it. So she kidnapped Rapunzel and hid her in a giant tower. Over the years, her hair grew long and continued to restore Gothel's youth. Fast forward eighteen years, and it's almost Rapunzel's birthday. More than anything, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) wants to see the floating lights that always appear on her birthday in person, but Mother Gothel is so controlling she won't let it happen. That's when fate enters the story in the form of Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi). He's the most wanted man in the kingdom, and he's trying to hide out in Rapunzel's tower. Only she blackmails him into taking her to see the lights. Where will this relationship lead? I must admit, I don't know much of the story of Rapunzel beyond the basics (young woman with long hair in a tower). A few times the thought crossed my mind wondering if something was in the original story or not. But as is usually the case with Disney, they take the basics and make it their own. While I'm sure most of the elements of the story are new, they feel like they've always been part of the story. The prologue, which sets everything up, is a bit on the slow side. But once the story really gets going, it's a complete blast. The plot was fairly obvious from the beginning, especially since it is a fairy tale. However, the story kept moving forward quickly, which kept me engaged. Plus, the Disney spins to the story made things much more interesting. And the humor was great. Pascal, Rapunzel's pet chameleon, and Maximus, the blood hound horse trying to track down Flynn, absolutely steal the show. Any scene they are an active part of is a complete hoot. The humans get some great laughs as well. I saw this with one of my roommates, and we were both laughing multiple times. The only complaint I've heard of the movie was the music. Yes, this is a musical in the grand tradition of Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin. The complaint I had heard was that the songs felt forced. I will admit that they didn't advance the story as much as they do in the movies I previously mentioned. However, I did feel like they were more a part of things than the songs in last year's Princess and the Frog. A couple of them are hauntingly beautiful (as you'd expect with Mandy Moore and Donna Murphy singing them), and there's one that is an absolute hoot. Zachary Levi does the singing for his character, and he holds his own with this cast. There's been some controversy with this film because they changed the name from Rapunzel to Tangled in an effort to attract boys. Trust me, this is a movie that boys will enjoy. It's got great action and the previously mentioned humor. In fact, I think the entire family will enjoy this one together. Yes, it does have romance to it, but this feel much like Aladdin to me, a movie that will appeal to everyone. The computer animation in this film is beautiful. They strove hard to create the look and feel of hand drawn animation with the computer, and the result is art like we've rarely scene in computer animation. Yes, it is still stylized, but it's a huge step forward. What I think surprised me the most about the film was how much I came to care about the characters. Flynn and Rapunzel are so nice, even though Flynn starts off as a thief. I really enjoyed spending time with them. On the flip side, I found Mother Gothel to be one of the most menacing villains in a long time solely because of her mind games on poor Rapunzel. I don't think she's scary enough to frighten young kids, but she is pure evil. If you are looking for a fun movie for the entire family, this is the film to see.

As a Disney fan, I rented this because I hadn't seen it before and wanted to get "caught up", so to speak. I loved Tangled but there were things I hated about it also. WARNING: Plot Analysis/ Potential Spoilers. I loved that Rapunzel dares to question things and doesn't take things as they are...smart enough to bide her time until the right time. Even as she asks Mother Gothel, for permission...she still plots to leave on her own before ever meeting Eugene/ Flynn Rider. I liked that Rapunzel and Maximus(horse) were at a similar crossroads of trusting their own instincts. I really loved the concept of the mutual rescue...about doggone time, if you ask me. Now, to the things I hated: About Rapunzel: If her hair is 70ft long, then she could've rescued herself ANYtime she wanted(after her hair became long enough, of course)...also, in the song "When Will My Life Begin?" , the tasks she lists included sewing and baking...well, how do you do those w/o access to a knife OR scissors? In theory, there wasn't that much stopping her: Climb down w/ a knife or scissors, big haircut(either take cut hair with her or burn it, so no one could misuse it)...Escape to village, get smaller haircut. With the exception of the blonde hair, Rapunzel bears a strong resemblance to the queen...so why did no one think to take her home to her birth parents sooner? How could anybody pass that mosaic everyday for nearly two decades in the kingdom and not see that their "lost princess" was home. Now, on to Mother Gothel...no powers other than her vanity and greed, lame! Why live for hundreds of years if YOUTH is the only reason?? Second, "Mother Knows Best"...oh, heck naw! Worse villain song ever! I would hate for any child to think insults like those in that song had anything to do with actual parental love. As an adult, I know better though an impressionable child might not. I would say it is worth watching because the same Disney values are still there: Not giving up on dreams, doing what's right versus what's easy, and evil always loses.

Without female companionship, it's hard to go see Tangled and still maintain an air of manliness and virility. So, abandoning all hope of preserving that façade, I decided to go all the way to the deep end of the lame pool and see it with my parents. And for once, the dearth of self-confidence that inspired me to long ago stop vying for success with the fairer sex paid off, because when the dust settled and the credits rolled, there was only one fact left standing, and it towered above all other thoughts and insecurities: Tangled was AWESOME! What a cast of characters! Zachary Levi, or Chuck from Chuck (for those of you who watch my favorite television show), is perfectly charming as Flynn Rider, the shallow and selfish thief whose good looks are rivaled only by Narcissus. Immediately likeable despite his negative qualities, Flynn Rider's journey toward empathy is one which is quickly obvious, and yet it is so flawlessly executed that I found his transformation transfixing at every turn. As for Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), well, I was pretty much in love with her the moment I saw her. The epitome of innocence, Rapunzel is a drop of sunshine in the darkness. Her unadulterated joy is contagious, infecting even the most jaded and cynical. It was a pleasure to see how people changed when touched by such a fair creature, whether it be a group of thugs singing about their dreams or innumerable citizens breaking out into dance in the streets. Again, Rapunzel's character arc was rather obvious: from an obedient girl afraid of the world to a real person living her life. And again, it didn't matter, because that arc was artfully crafted. Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy) is an understandable villain. I mean, Rapunzel's magic hair gives her eternal youth. If that's not a good reason for keeping your daughter in a tower, I don't know what is. The two characters of a different genus deserve quite a bit of recognition themselves. Pascal the chameleon makes for an excellent sidekick to Rapunzel. He's just about the cutest thing ever (right behind How to Train Your Dragon's Toothless), and his indignant looks are a great counterpoint to Rapunzel's innocent absurdity. Even Maximus, the head guard's horse, is an amazing character with a story of his own. He tracks Flynn Rider with brutal determination, but as per usual, ends up joining the team. Honestly, this movie has the perfect setup. You see, Flynn Rider is a character you can really get behind. Sure, he doesn't care about other people, but his charm makes him unarguably, well, charming. Oh, and Rapunzel is a character you can really get behind. The opposite of Flynn, she is trusting and cares deeply for everyone, and yet she has much to learn about the world. We love both characters from the beginning, and the traits that make each of them so great directly reflect the other's flaws, so when fate brings them together, we get to watch an incredible relationship blossom. Plus, there were a couple of little lines that broke the fourth wall in an amusing way. At one point, Flynn Rider calls Pascal a frog. Rapunzel, offended, points out that it's a chameleon, to which Flynn responds "Nuance." Bringing up the cliché of a princess and a frog is especially amusing, since Disney's last animated film was titled The Princess and the Frog. Also, like I said, Mother Gothel isn't particularly villainous during the film, just a bit attached to the idea of immortality. Now, when she argues with Rapunzel, she always complains that Rapunzel is "making her the bad guy." Well, I really wanted her to be the bad guy so I could cheer when she got her comeuppance, and then finally, much to my delight, she snaps, saying "You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. Now I'm the bad guy." To her, she was harkening back to those old arguments, but to me, she was talking directly to the audience, letting us know that it was ok to root against her. If I had one complaint, and I do, it would be that the songs didn't quite live up to my expectations. They were still excellent, but they were a bit more ponderous than some Disney tunes. With the exception of "I've Got a Dream," they were slow, character-heavy numbers that, while still of a high quality, lacked the pizzazz that got the Aladdin soundtrack stuck so firmly in my head. But the songs certainly didn't detract from the experience. The dialogue was sharp, the animation was beyond beautiful, and the movie was both touching and hilarious. And as an added bonus, there was a lot of great insight into human nature. I cared for those characters, and the film was able to jerk my emotions around however it wanted. My sides hurt from laughing, my eyes ached from tears. Flynn's charm and Rapunzel's joy didn't just affect the other characters; they reached right out of that screen and touched me too, and because of that, I give Tangled: 5/5 Stars The only truly sad thing about this movie was that Rapunzel ended up becoming a brunette. Oh, the humanity! Check out thenickelscreen on wordpress for more reviews!

I grew up in the 90s, with The Lion King and Toy Story representing the pinnacle of Disney animation--the pinnacle of animation period, from any studio. With the pool crowding, however, Disney has had trouble since I've been a kid. Shrek took over; Kung-Fu Panda; Ice Age. Sure, Disney has been a major presence throughout, but it's had to put up with some stiff competition the past 10-15 years. For the record: I'm aware that there's always been competition. My point is, that for someone such as myself, Disney has always come first; no-one else could top them, even if movies from other companies make good money and get good reviews too. With these others I've listed, that has changed a little bit as I've aged. Plus I've paid less attention to so-called "kids movies", so the significance of Disney, to me personally, has waned. With Tangled, however, Disney seems to have finally found its footing in this modern era. Wall-E and other recent Disney flicks have proven themselves capable of holding their own, but the difference with Tangled--and what makes it so significant to me--is the general storyline of a princess rather than a robot or a pack of anthropomorphic automobiles. Lion King had this to an extent (although it was a Prince/King); Toy Story didn't have this, although the story illustrated the fact that CG animation could elicit genuine emotion. Tangled, although perhaps not as memorable as either of these favorites of mine (time, as they say, will only tell) but it marks a major return to form for the king of animation. Unlike other "kids" movies, Tangled--which is full of humor, drama, and character growth--does not incorporate inappropriate humor to attract adult audiences. Rather, Tangled's humor, despite the fact that the movie is aimed at a younger audience, is genuine enough that it doesn't _have_ to have kid-proof adult-humor (ie: kids see and hear it, but probably don't understand the double entendre) to attract adult audiences. That's what I love about this movie--it's funny without resorting to low-brow inappropriate humor. No, I'm not some angry parent who hates Shrek for its gross-out raunchiness (I in fact enjoy Shrek quite a bit); I just appreciate good, classic funny and Tangled has a plenty of it. Rather than take the easy way out, the writers and animators have done a wonderful job of making the comedy work. The dialogue is fine, but what really stands out is the character "acting". The horse, Maximus, is especially well "acted". His facial expressions and body language (that of another animal altogether, which is for some reason very hilarious) fit perfectly with every situation in which he finds himself. Pascal, Rapunzel's pet chameleon, also expresses himself very efficiently without having a line of dialogue in the film. As surprisingly good as Mandy Moore's voice acting is, the animated acting of Rapunzel herself is amazing. With just a look, a turn of the head, the way she walks, you know exactly what she's thinking. It's truly wonderful. Besides, the gags are all really funny too, without being raunchy. For instance, in one scene Maximus is hidden behind a peculiarly shaped and mossed-up rock, with a tree-branch conspicuously bent down--all of this with the effect of looking like a horse. All the sudden, Maximus jumps out from this situation. It may not sound funny on the page--and as I look at what I just wrote, I'm a bit unconvinced myself--but to actually see it is something else entirely. I was laughing when I saw it in the theater, along with my 35 year old aunt, 13 year old sister, and my 8 and 4 year old cousins. Pardon my random musings on this movie. I realize that it's not an in depth review, but as usual with any reviews I decide to make, I'm writing this for people like me, people who remember the Disney of _their_ childhood (not necessarily the "classic" Disney; Snow White, Pinocchio, etc); for the people who don't think Disney matters any more. It's like we've all grown up now, and no one bothers to watch a movie if it's not violent or R-rated. It's not gritty, it's not a representation of the real-world. It's a fantasy, a fairy tale, and so on. But so what? Who says that movies have to be that way to be deemed worthy of viewing? Tangled may be a "kids movie", but I like it quite a bit. I give it 5 stars not because I think it's a game-changing movie, not because I think it's perfect, or anything like that. Rather, it's a great "kids movies" that anyone and everyone can watch without feeling out of place. It's entertaining throughout, and that's what I look for in any movie. ** UPDATE FOR 3D VERSION ** [I apparently can't change this review to be specifically for the 3D version, so I'm just tacking this on here.] When I first bought my 3D TV, this (and Tron Legacy) were the first 3D Blu-Rays that I bought. Since then I've collected probably about half of the major movies that have been released in 3D, and of all of them (including Avatar) TANGLED 3D is my favorite in terms of stereoscopic 3D. The picture looks absolutely amazing and has impressed everyone I've shown it to. The 3D definitely adds to the experience, and the world really pops on screen (and "behind" screen). So if you're looking for just one 3D Blu-Ray to buy, this should be the one to add to your collection.

無事届いて何よりです。 満足です。

..., denn dieser Film hat meine Erwartungen nicht nur bei Weitem übertroffen, nein, mit diesem Film bin ich endlich wieder in meine Kindheit zurückversetzt worden, als ich in der Grundschule immer sehnsüchtig darauf gewartet habe, einen alten Disneyfilm einzulegen und die Vielfalt fast aller Emotionen, die ein Mensch spüren kann, zu erleben. Der Film ist so süß wie Honig und so sind auch die Charaktere frisch, jugendlich und charmant! Flynn Ryder ist der Inbegriff der Coolness und weist eine so gesunde Mischung aus Humor und Charme hervor, dass ich mich dabei erwischt habe, selbst von so einen Flynn zu träumen ;-) Rapunzel ist zwar naiv, hat aber so viel Feuer im Blut, dass es für diese klassische Märchenfigur schon fast zu temperamentvoll wird, jedoch macht diese Eigenschaft den Film keinesfalls weniger zu einem wahrhaftigem Disney. Maximus - also das weiße Pferd - ist wirklich genial gelungen! Die Mimik und Gestik, mit dem das Tier im Film spielt, hat eine Art und Weise, bei denen selbst die größten Miesepeter in herzhaftes Gelächter ausbrechen würden! Ein Pferd mit richtigem Charakter! Der Salamander hat wohl den Part des "weisen Mannes" eingenommen und blieb gegen Ende immer mehr im Hintergrund, ohne jedoch in Vergessenheit zu geraten. Ich muss sagen, dass mir diese Version von Rapunzel, also diese Story, bis jetzt am Besten gefallen hat, von allen, die ich gesehen habe! Denn diese Story ist nicht nur lustig, sondern auch romantisch, ohne eine einzige Sekunge lang aufgesetzt oder übertrieben herüberzukommen. Zum Bild und zu der Grafik, kann ich nur sagen, dass ich bis jetzt eigentlich immer GEGEN Computeranimierte Disneyfilme war (ich mag die gezeichneten immer noch lieber) - aber hier hat es mich keinen Moment gestört, eher im Gegenteil: Der Charme eines Zeichentrickfilmes blieb erhalten, die Farben sind satt und kräftig, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken. Besonders gut gelungen war Rapunzels Haarpracht, bei denen immer Mal wieder feine, einzelne Härchen zu sehen sind. Also ich bin begeistert und habe diesen Film, neben anderen Disneyklassikern, ganz tief in mein Herz schließen können. Was ich zur DVD noch kurz anmerken muss: Die Extras sind mehr als nur dürftig, sie bestehen aus Trailern und alternativen Filmanfängen und das war's auch schon. Da hätte ich zwar mehr erwartet, aber ein Stern sind mir die Extras nun auch nicht Wert, also 5 von 5 Sternen!

Non avevo mai visto questo film della Disney e l'ho comprato per curiosità, dato che era pure in offerta. Mi è piaciuto molto. L'ho trovato sorprendente - mi aspettavo qualcosa di più... "Disney-classico". I personaggi sono bizzarri, la storia è bizzarra. Lo stile è un po' quello dei vari Shrek e derivati, ironico e pieno di sottintesi (quindi apprezzabile anche dagli adulti). Molto bello il gioco grafico sul tema dei lunghi capelli dorati.

It was about time that any animation studio would make a film based on one of my favorite fairy-tales Rapunzel, and I was glad Disney is the studio to make it. I had seen the film only last weekend, and I thought it was awesome. The film goes like this : A magical golden flower, with the power to heal, was born from one ray of sunshine. An nasty woman know as Gothel, uses the flower's power to restore her youth and beauty. While centuries later, a kingdom was built, and just as the king and queen were going to have a baby, the pregnant queen became very ill. The people searched the land for the golden flower. Until the royal army had spotted the flower, and bought it back to the queen. Then a baby girl (Rapunzel), was born to the royal couple, and everyone in the land was happy. All except jealous, spiteful Gothel, who had learned that Rapunzel's golden hair retains the flower's healing abilities as long as it isn't cut, so she kidnaps the child and isolates her in a tower, raising the girl as her own daughter. However, every year on Rapunzel's birthday, the kingdom sends thousands of floating lanterns into the sky longing for their lost princess to return. Eighteen years later, a thief known as Flynn Rider, steals the lost princess' tiara, and escapes the guards. Then he came upon Rapunzel's tower for a hiding place. Once he had scaled the tower, Flynn was held by the girl with the long hair.Rapunzel then strike a deal with the charming thief to act as her guide to travel to the place where the floating lights come from that she has seen every year on her birthday. Well, that's all I could tell you folks, you will have to see the film for yourself how it ends, and, I know I say this but : I don't favorite a scene, because I love the whole film.

Le film est de bonne qualité, mes enfants étaient très content
