Day Twenty-Eight~Write a Movie Review

We are certainly drawing near to the end! I was supposed to finish last weak, that had been the plan. Then life got busy, and I got lazy. Not a good combination. After the 30 day challenge is done, I will try to post about randomness from my life more. I'm sure you all care greatly.

In an adaptation of the traditional fairytale, Rapunzel, Disney's "Tangled," gets everyone tied up in knots. A princess who has magical hair which can heal is stolen form birth, and locked away in a tall tower in the middle of the woods by the evil witch, Mother Gothel. Repunzle, not knowing who she really is, spends the next eighteen under the care of Mother Gothel. Every year on her birth day, glowing lights would appear in the sky. This, more than anything else, puts a feeling of longing for the outside world.

Flynn Rider, the most handsome and daring-not to mention most wanted-thief in the kingdom. One day, while running away from several guards after stealing the crown of the lost princess, Flynn stumbled upon the same tower Rapunzel has been imprisoned in. When he scaled the tower wall, he planed on hiding there. Rapunzel, on the other hand, had other ideas. Rapunzel convinces Flynn to take her to the glowing lights after taking his crown hostage. The due set out on an amazing adventure, soon finding themselves "tangled" in a dangerous and exciting plot.

After several "okay" movies from the Disney animation studios, Tangled was a breath of fresh air. Disney animation studios had its hay day in the 90's, but ever since then they haven't made anything that I would consider a "classic. True, Pixar was dealing out at least one really good movie a year, and while I thoroughly enjoy them, they simply weren't what I would call quintessential Disney. The last movie from Disney animation studios that I really enjoyed was The Emperor's New Groove from 2000. And even that didn't have the quintessential Disney feeling for me. The last movie that did that was Mulan in 1998.

But Tangled, man Tangled brought it all back. The beautiful animation, the heart felt story, the subtle comedy that can appeal to children and adults alike, the singing, (I LOVE the singing,) it was all there. Tangled did what The Princess and the Frog tried to do. Bring back the Disney fairy tales. While I am somewhat sad to see the 2D animation fade out, I am glad Disney has proven it can still capture that fairytale like feeling it did with the movies from the 90's, but with this new age of animation.
