Frozen was the first disney movie I have seen in years. It was purely amazing. The story was very unconventional compared to other disney movies about princesses. So after that, I decided to watch the movie before Frozen, because many of my friends had recommended it to me. And it was no disappointment.
The story of Tangled is just another princess and "prince" story (except this time, it is not a prince). An innocent girl finds her true love, who is literally the first man she has seen ever. Sounds a little boring, doesn't it? What makes the magic works is, first of all, the princess is no typical princess. The princess, Rapunzel is a brave and adventurous young girl. She can take care of herself with a frying pan. Not one of those princesses, huh?
Since the princess is so distinct, the prince is quite different as well. Eugene, a.k.a. Flynn Rider is actually no prince. He is a burglar. And unlike the original fairy tale by Brothers Grimm, Eugene runs into Rapunzel by sneaking into the tower, when he is being chased by the royal guards. He is initially shown to the audience as quite a flirty and witty young man, but as the story proceeds, Eugene is shown to be caring and trustworthy. And, of course, how can a disney prince be called prince charming without a white horse? The white horse, Maximus is a proud royal horse, and he is not Eugene's ride in the beginning, and quite the contrary, Maximus is hunting down Eugene. Maximus eventually makes peace with Eugene, and becomes Eugene's sidekick.
The 3d animation is also breathtaking, especially considering the quality of the hair of Rapunzel. At last, the story is about a girl with extremely long hair. If this animation fails, the movie fails.
Rating: 8 out of 10
