Shawn and I went to watch Disney's Tangled in 3D tonight. Everyone already knows the story of Rapunzel, so I won't re-hash it here, but this film is really a return to Disney's roots. I like that they took away some of that "damsel in distress" theme that is in most of Disney's fairy tales, 'cause this Rapunzel is pretty bad ass. It's visually stunning with bright imagery and colours; I also thought the 3D was used well here - it was smooth and polished, not rushed (hello, Alice in Wonderland). The voice talents were great as well, with Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel. This rendition of Rapunzel makes you feel nostalgic but also has a few modern tweaks, and ends up being witty without the use of unnecessary pop culture references (hello, Shrek). It's certainly not the best Disney animated film, and it doesn't compare to Pixar's works, but it does stand on its own as a fun, clever, heartwarming, and just plain cute animated movie. It's not mind-blowing, but at least you'll come out of the theatre with a smile on your face.
Rating: 4/5
