Tangled (2010) IMDB Link
After an inadvertently long time without making a quality film, Disney finally get back on track with last year’s excellent film The Princess and The Frog. Many people felt this was because the company reverted back to the traditional 2D animation format but Tangled, their latest film, has proven this not to be the case as well as proving that the company is well and truly back on track when it comes to making animated films of the highest standard.
The plot sees Disney revert back to their tried and tested formula of adapting fairy tales with Rapunzel being the focus for this film. The magically long haired Rapunzel has been held captive in a tower for 18 years by a witch purporting to be her mother but really using Rapunzel’s magical hair to stay young. A chance encounter with a runaway thief is the catalyst for Rapunzel to escape her prison and learn her true place in the world. To do this though, she must avoid the witch and many other obstacles along the way.
Despite not seeing the film in its intended 3D, the animation still looked excellent and proves that Disney are quite capable at creating a good looking Computer animated film as well as the traditional 2D style. The story, although full of the typical fairly tale cliches, is very good provides plenty of action and laughs throughout. In fact Tangled is a genuinely funny film with some very well written comedy moments. The action scenes look great and provide some great entertainment, particularly the various chase scenes. Being a Disney film, Tangled is a musical with plenty of original songs sung by the various characters and surprisingly the songs are solid enough and don’t take away from the films enjoyment as it does in other Disney productions.
Tangled is a very entertaining film that firmly proves that Disney is back making quality animated films again. It’s funny, action packed and has a good story and is a film that all fans of animated films should definitely check out.
