Today I’m talking about one of the newer Disney Classics – Tangled, which I saw for the first time in 2011 on the aeroplane flying over the Atlantic Ocean to Florida for the first time! I fell in love with this movie, the animation, the characters, the story and the music. In my opinion, it’s one of the best!

The film is loosely based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale, Rapunzel, and tells the story of a lost princess who has hair with magical healing powers. She’s kept captive in a tall tower and longs to escape so that she can see the world beyond her tiny prison window – especially the thousands of floating lights that appear every year on her birthday…

With the help of Flynn Rider, a thief who had scaled Rapunzel’s tower to hide his latest haul, the lost princess is able to fulfill her dream – with lots of hilarity along the way!

I really don’t want to give away anything in this post, as it’s a must see movie! So I’m not elaborating any further than that!
If you haven’t seen Tangled yet, make sure you check out the trailer!
Then go and rent the movie – you won’t be disappointed!

Why I Love Tangled…

  • The songs – it felt like for a long time, Disney movies forgot how to sing! There are some lovely songs on the soundtrack. My favourite is ‘When Will My Life Begin?’
  • The sidekicks – Maximus (the stallion) and Pascal (the chameleon), neither of them speak, but both are hilariously funny!
  • The hair – Rapunzel’s hair is AWESOME – it’s so long, and it’s magical, and she can use it as a swing!
  • The adventure – everything outside the tower is all new to Rapunzel, and it’s great to watch her experience it all!
  • Flynn Rider – he’s hot. There, I said it! Come on girls, you know I speak the truth bwahahah!
