Outside of the pop music influence, i really found Tangled enchanting. They highlighted the traditional fairytale style very well with the “A long, long time ago, a drop of sunlight fell from your sky, and when it touched the Earth, there blossomed a glowing yellow flower.” Magical writing like that really opens you up and in this movie it was intertwined into a lighter sort of storytelling really well. They managed to appeal to the modern youth without making me feel too spoonfed and i think that is where it really impressed me. Then the small cool Disney things, like the cool sun emblem and the snuggly duckling; I’m sure there’ll be one at Disney world soon.

Really impressed.

In reply to Chris.

You suggest that being a fairy tale means that it is on some alien world where rules of history do not apply.

Clearly this is set in a medieval type setting, most clearly evidenced by the lack of real technological advances. So yeah, I found some of the dialogue far too modern for a medieval type setting – even one in which magic is present.

And there is not a moment in the Princess Bride where they use a modern coaquialism that takes you out of the setting.

The criticism about the dialogue not being right for the era is really off base. It’s a fairy tale — so what era is it? And what country? Modernizing the dialogue helps it connect to modern audiences ala The Princess Bride. Repeat the MST3K Mantra a few times, and relax. Tangled’s an awesome film that packs a heckuva emotional punch at the climax.

Personally, I think the whole “princess” thing is over-rated; I’m happy to see Disney move away from it, though I hope they don’t abandon fairy tales completely.

i saw tangled on thanksgiving and i loved it. i welt up in a few scenes. and hearing that disney is not doing “princess” movies anymore was disappointing to hear. it was fine by me about two years ago, but no i have a 1 and a half yr old daughter now, and i would have liked to have more princess movies being churned out. but the classics from the past will have to do for now. i give it an 8.5 out of 10. its was a terrfic movie. really surprised me

Saw it last night with my SON, yes he wanted to see it after most of the trailers featured Flynn. I’m glad we went, The movie was quite charming and provided with ample laugh out loud moments, The Horse “Maximus” was a treat as well as the little green guy.

came out feeling like I just watched a Classic Disney story with modern effects. Good Stuff!
and the witch (Looked alot like Cher)was very imposing as the villan.

she could run circles around some of the “real-life” villans weve seen lately in films today.
8 out of 10 fit’s nicely with me
