Tangled

It makes my heart happy that Disney have gone back to the start, not only bringing in a classic princess (Rapunzel) but also bringing back the cheesy songs. Joy.

It got off to a slowish start. Girl (Rapunzel) with long long blonde magical healing hair, is kept for 18 years in a tower by her supposed mother. Guy, Eugene (lol) a rugged and loveable thief, happens to cross paths with Rapunzel and promises to take her on an adventure.

There was a slight chance that this film could go badly. The music could have been awful, and it is hard to get the charm of previous films like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. The Princcess and the Frog for instance, was a great idea, but lacked charm.Tangled however hits the mark. It's beautiful to look at, the songs are fun and soulful - Alan Menken is on top form - and the characters are the ones that you remember; cheeky, pretty and full of life.
4/5
