Tangled (Disney's Rapunzel)

[Shlup]

I saw it! I saw it, and it was amazing! I don't even know what my favorite Disney movie is anymore. Where does it fall on my list? I think I have decided that The Little Mermaid is still up top because it has the superior soundtrack, but second place... Either Tangled or Aladdin, I think. Probably Tangled.

I'm going to see it again in 3D. I didn't see it in 3D today because I had a toddler with me. I don't even give a :bou::bou::bou::bou: about movies, but this I want to see again and I want to see it in 3D.

Expectations exceeded.

[DMKA]

Is it a musical?

[Del Murder]

Up there with Aladdin? Really?

[Rodarian]

Although I have yet to see tangled, I don't think there any other Disney movies out there that the could be as good as Disney's Classics and the Disney's Renaissance period movies....

As much as I appreciate CGI..I'm a traditionalist in that I feel nothing is better than hand drawn imagery and animation :)

[Shlup]

Is it a musical?
Yes, though not as prominent as in most Disney musicals. Which might be my one complaint. Maybe. Though it also worked... I mean, Princess and the Frog was all musical and I didn't like it nearly as much as I liked this. Tangled was beautiful.


Up there with Aladdin? Really?

A lot of people are saying "I loved it, but it's not a 'classic.'" I think it's hard to have perspective, as Aladdin and the like are movies we grew up with. Fortunately, I am a master of having perspective. I love it like I love Aladdin.

I would like to state, for the record, that I am all about the hand-drawn Disney movies. Love hand-drawn. However, Rapunzel's hair really called for computer animation. Just this once, I both accept and appreciate that they chose to do a princess film in computer animation. Just don't let it happen again, Disney.

ETA: Tsk, Rod, such a typical response, you fuddy duddy.

[Rodarian]

Tsk, Rod, such a typical response, you fuddy duddy.

Its not like I don't appreciate what CGI has done for Disney....

But yes I am a fuddy duddy :greenie:

[Freya]

I am excited because of Alan Menken doing the songs. Princess and the frog was a tragedy because of Randy Newman. Go back to Menken, obviously his songs always worked. DUH DISNEY. I have to find some one to go with though. :/

[Marshall Banana]

I have so much pent-up rage in me, thanks to following this movie. I dread seeing this spin-off of Shrek movie next week, but - at the same time - I feel like I have to. XD

Edit: Oh, and negativity aside, I do think that Rapunzel herself looks really cute in 3-D. Still, about her hair, I think it could have been drawn and looked amazing! The Little Mermaid was considered an impossible task at the time it was being made, because there was constant movement in every underwater scene, so it was really daunting.

[DMKA]

I'll have to see it. The fact that Disney is making musical princess films again delights the hell out of me.

[Breine]

It looks like a lot of fun, so I wanna see it at some point.

[Shlup]

I am going to stab you in the neck, Lamonda.

My macho friends are making fun of me for loving this movie. I can't help it, but a good movie is a good movie, regardless of fluff and powder.

Also, "Princess and Frog" is one of the best movies I have seen in years, so do us a favor and choke on it. ;;

[Shlup]

Princess and the Frog is a great movie, just not compared to the other princess movies. It's still way up there on my list of favorites.

And tell your friends to shove it!

[Seraphic]

I liked Rapunzel alot, it was really cute!
Despite some minor setbacks towards the end of the film, I would go so far as to say she ranks fairly high in my lists of Disney Princesses.
Maybe even #1.

[Shlup]

Yaaay! She's super cute, right? It's difficult to digest and compare properly to classic favorites.

Unless you're Lamonda and you just write off everything computer animated as being similar to Shrek. :aimmad:

[LunarWeaver]

I thought it was cute, as it was supposed to be. One of their better efforts in a long time (not counting the gold Pixar pumps out for them). I found the movie more amusing than truly laugh out loud, but it was consistently amusing and at least didn't desperately go for stupid pop-culture references.

I liked some of the songs and found others boring. At least the villain got in a good one. Those are usually my favorites. I make no apologies for it. :colbert:

[Clo]

I still want to see Princess and the Frog. :(

Can you explain why Tangled is so good? WHY? I need to know.

[Laddy]

What's wrong with Shrek.

Me and five hot straight guys are gonna see this next week. I can't wait...for obvious reasons.

[Seraphic]

I still want to see Princess and the Frog. :(

Can you explain why Tangled is so good? WHY? I need to know.

Omg Princess and the Frog is so good too!
That had more memorable songs than Tangled imho; Tiana and Rapunzel are kinda tied for #1 for me at the moment.
REASONS WHY:
She has that really innocent naivety of Cinderella, but she's also pretty crafty and can take care of herself, she's artistic with her massive murals in the tower, she never compromises herself for the 'prince' figure of the movie (except for the end,hence my slight beef), and she's just really adorable.
It has it's fair share of plot holes, especially this really massive one that's kind of jarring at the end, but I thought it was fairly well done.

[Shlup]

Nothing's wrong with Shrek. Well, it's super dorky, but it's good. But it's not a girly fairy tale. And Tangled is!

Tangled is endlessly endearing. The characters are humorous, have heart, and are incredibly lively. And I mean every character, even the flunkies. And most animal companions are irritating, especially ones that don't talk, but Pascal and Maximus are both great! Rapunzel and Flynn have personalities. How many other Disney princes have personalities? Not many. There's humor, sadness, action, and self-sacrificing loooove.

And it's beautiful. Beautiful! Rapunzel's hair looks amazing.

IT'S JUST SO GOOD, CLO, SO GOOD.

[Rodarian]

Ariel is a babe!! Rap girl is well.....

[BG-57]

I thought it was cute and enjoyable. Disney has always been good about supporting characters and the horse and chameleon (not to mention the rogues) were funny and well done. I liked the interplay between Rapunzel and Flynn.

About the ending, oddly the magic tears didn't bother me, since I've read a particularly gruesome version where her tears restored her love's eyesight. Don't ask how he lost his eyesight though. Never read a version where she had magic hair though.

[asukaevaunit02]

It's out already?:eek: It doesn't start showing in Australia until Jan 6:(

But after seeing the trailer and seeing all the good talk here, I look foward to seeing it when it does come out! :)

[Marshall Banana]

Since no one else has warned Clo, I will! The Princess and the Frog contains the most annoying character in Disney history: Lottie (Charlotte).

[Shlup]

What is wrong with you? I love Lottie! It's like the first time Disney made a character that's bratty and spoiled but still unflinchingly good. And she has pink everything!

[Seraphic]

What is wrong with you? I love Lottie! It's like the first time Disney made a character that's bratty and spoiled but still unflinchingly good. And she has pink everything!

I agree, Lottie is extremely entertaining, she's a major part of the comic relief for the movie!

[Marshall Banana]

You all kwazy!

[Marshall Banana]

I was pleasantly surprised! The music is awkward and forgettable, but Rapunzel and her boy are cute characters! I like their little love story. Tangled is one billion times better than The Princess and the Frog.

I was right that this movie would be more enchanting in 2D, though. I yearned for this the whole time I was watching.

[Necronopticous]

Rapunzel's obscenely sexual 3D model and Pascal were the best parts of this movie, especially when combined.

[Miss_Lulu]

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm having a Tangled birthday cake for my birthday party next weekend. :)

[Shlup]

You'd better see it in the next few days then!

[Marshall Banana]

If this movie had good vocal songs and was 2-D, it would be right up there with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. I'm becoming more and more smitten with it!

[Ouch!]

Like most movies that have come out these past few months, I'll wait until the club I'm part of on campus shows them for free next semester. The president wants to cut Tangled from the list because we selected one too many movies, but I'm going to try to throw some weight around and get him to drop something else instead. I've heard too many good things from too many people to let Tangled fall to the way side.

Interesting to see Disney's own computer animation studio back up and running. Although if what my cousin has said is true (I'm inclined to believe him as he has worked at Disney for nearly thirty years), it's also the last princess movie that the studio will be pumping out for a while. At least from their animated branch. Apparently someone from Pixar is now at the head of Disney's in-house computer animation studio and one of the first things he announced was that they would be doing things other than Princess movies because it has less of an appeal to a male audience. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

[Marshall Banana]

I hope that's not the reason. I do think that Disney should stop making Princess movies just for the sake of making princess movies and simply try to make movies that are good, but not for the sake of pleasing maaaaaanly males.

[Miriel]

Saw this today and I loved it!

[Del Murder]

I saw it and it was pretty good. Reminiscent of the 90s golden age of Disney animation. As movies go I still don't think it's near the likes of The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Lion King, etc. But as a princess Rapunzel is up there with Belle, Ariel and Mulan in terms of character development and likability.

[Freya]

I just saw it today. I freaking loved it! I want to buy it and own it and huggle it.

[delaford321]

Everyone I've talked to has said that they loved this movie, and no one i've talked to has been under 22 years old. I think the trend of making movies that appeal to all ages started with Toy Story. I'm glad it's continuing, I'll be seeing this movie soon.

[Shlup]

The two-year-old I went with also loved it.

I saw Rapunzel and Flynn at Disneyland today! I've been looking for them forever! WOO!

[Marshall Banana]

The soundtracks of Tangled and The Little Mermaid remind me a lot of each other. They're so good.
