Ok, I loved it. Forgive me for not being critical enough, but I really don't have many bad things to say about it. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the movie. It was everything that I wanted it to be and more! First off, as great as it sounded and looked to begin with, my only concern was that it seems off for Disney fairy tales to not be hand-drawn. I was thinking that it might have been better to do the same for Tangled. I was totally wrong actually. The animation was beautiful. Certain movies work better with different styles of animation, and this one worked. It's a great mixture of traditional and CGI animation, to create something amazing. The colors and visuals were just outstanding.
Ok, about the movie itself now. The beginning felt exactly like the opening of a classic Disney movie. It only got better from there. I'm not going to go through the movie from the beginning to the end, but I'll specify on everything that stood out to me. It was amazing to see the character development of Flynn. He went from a conceited, oblivious guy with no substance into an understanding, deep guy. Rapunzel became really brave and much more clever.
Favorite part was definitely when they walked into the Snuggling Duckling and it was filled with all these tough guys. I cracked up at that, and then it only got better. Everything about the whole confrontation was hilarious. Then they started singing. "I've Got a Dream" was my favorite song without a doubt. It was not only funny, but really inspiring and sent a great message. This seems like an appropriate time to transist into my critique of the songs. They were all really reminscent of classic Disney. Even though "I've Got a Dream" was my personal favorite, "I See The Light" was also incredible. I can totally hear it being placed in a future Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular, or some sort of Disney show. It was just sooo touching and beautiful. The entire Lantern scene was. I felt so great watching it. The other songs were great too, but those two really stuck out to me.
Also, kudos to the supporting characters of Pascal and Max. They added the spice of comic relief that was really important to the film. A lot of classic slapstick humor in this movie, which I loved. And all of the funny lines were really well-written and able to make people of all ages laugh. Not little-kid jokes, and not much particularly mature humor. Just universally funny.
Well now I'm done rambling about the epic-ness that was Tangled. Maybe I'm just biased because I always love Disney fairy tales and I had high expectations, but I really did love it a ton. If you don't like this sort of thing, I don't recommend it at all because you may think it's cheesy. But if you love classic Disney, I think that you'll love it. Cartoon out!
