I like Snape, and the first 2 movies. I didn’t see the sixth movie, and that may have influenced me. I was confused. And I wanted to see an animation, which influenced me too.
Ha, I see! Yeah, you missed 4 movies, so I can see how that would be super confusing!
I saw up to #5, and missed 6. Sorry, I should have clarified. 
I was very lost, though…
I got a cute Tangled bucket there!! It matches the poster. <3
No. Way. I did too! Were you at a Regal? I was
I was!! I love Regal Cinemas. 
I wanted an empty bucket for sanitation reasons, but that would cost $8. Again. For an empty bucket. So, I just rinsed and wiped one of our popcorn buckets, and it looks very cute on my Disney shelf. 
You’ve got a Disney shelf? That’s cool! I’m jealous. I’m jealous of everyone who’s seen the movie already, really. 
But my mom says they might take me next week!!
I do as well! It has figurines that I buy at Disneyland. We also have a Disney wall in our Family room, with pictures from our Disneyland trips. (my mom is a Disney nutcase!)
Just got back from seeing the movie and all I have to say is… DISNEY IS BACK BAYBEH!!! Well actually they came back with Princess and the Frog, but I just had to say what I said in the previous sentence. Lol
I has plans to see it tommorrow. I’m excited, but not jumping with joy excited. Should be fun!
I was going to see Tangled yesterday, but the only decent 2D showtime was sold out. So I went to see HP7.1 again (2nd time).
Dear Theatre: Yeah, yeah, I know you can charge more for 3D, but: When you have a movie that is going to attract a lot of families with very young kids (whose parents probably have already learned won’t wear the 3D glasses), for pity’s sake, please offer the 2D version in more than a handful of showtimes in one medium-sized auditorium!
Anyway, I’ve already got my ticket for today, and will post my review later.
Good job Disney; with all the praise this movie has gotten, could this beat out an animated feature Oscar nomintion? I hope to see it soon, (what with not living in America and trying to find an English theatre, and all).
^ I hope you find one! It’s really worth it. I loved every song, and it was so beautiful. I really hope it gets an Oscar nomination too. It’s definately deserving of one
Oh, yes. I have a Disney shelf, a DreamWorks shelf, 5 Pixar shelves, and an animation shelf. I have collecting issues. But I’ve never visited WDW. 
I really want to see this movie!!
I’m back from Rapunzel - um, ok, Tangled - and I really enjoyed it, more than I expected to. We had a practically full house (a few empty seats, but I think that was because there were parents holding kids in their laps), and a good audience. I do think they were kind of silly to change the name - come on, Disney, it’s Rapunzel, and it’s still a princess movie with non-pop songs, however you tried to sell it!
Donna Murphy was great as Mother Gothel (can we say ‘manipulative emotional blackmailer’?), and Pascal was cute, but the best character in the whole movie was Maximus!! Totally loved him, the Smartest Horse in the World! His expressions and mannerisms were great. I’m glad I went in fairly spoiler-free - I loved the moment in all the climactic stuff when Flynn sees [spoil]the little unicorn figure[/spoil] and we know what’s going to happen! Also thought the big action set-piece of [spoil]the flood[/spoil] was well done.
I had mixed feelings about the songs - they were enjoyable, but felt a little “tacked on” in a way (I thought the songs from Princess & the Frog worked better with the tone of that movie).
Anyway, I would recommend Rapunz- um, Tangl- oh, heck, Rapunzel.
Oh, and the Cars 2 trailer got a lot of laughs and positive reaction from our audience.
AAAH.
I loved it.
First of all, this is the first movie I’ve been to where the audience actually applauded at the end. I think its because going to a Disney musical is almost like seeing a play, and when the curtains close, you have to applaud the performers.
I adored Flynn and Rapunzel’s romance. I found their dynamic very cute, and I found it amusing that Rapunzel goes into the romance much like a teenager would. Flynn [spoil]/Eugene[/spoil] was incredibly charming as a character and he quickly rose to me favorite Disney prince. His self-sacrifice for her at the end was both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
The animation was, of course, amazing, and the music (both songs and score) was great to listen to (I especially loved the music during the dance scene). The humor was hilarious and timeless (as in, no cheap pop-culture references) and, despite what the trailers may have lead you to think, not dependent on slapstick.
Mother Gothel, to me, was a great villain. I found her very interesting because though she truly wants Rapunzel for her hair, she does love her to some extent. In the end, though, she puts her selfish desires over her love for her, which is in contrast to Flynn, who does the opposite.
Overall, I loved it just as much as I love the Disney Renaissance films, and, for some, even more. SEE IT.
I just came back from watching it. The theater was SO jam-packed for this movie, it was incredible! There was a HUGE line up and the theater ended up being filled really quickly. The audience were great; they were really reactive and responsive while the film was playing. I could hear laughs, ‘awww’s’ and even comments with parents explaining what was happening to their children (I heard one father saying “She’s never touched grass before.” to his 8 year old son when Rapunzel slides down and anticipates walking on ground for the first time.)
I’m just going to re-post what I said in my review over at my journal.
The film was VERY enjoyable and entertaining. It was such a treat finally seeing the finished movie, with the little bits that I already saw on youtube. The animation was so vibrant, lush and spectacular, the characters were extremely likable (especially Maximus and Pascal, though I have to say Maximus is my favorite 
). Rapunzel has become one of my favorite Disney Princesses. She’s naive, but just so cute, kind, gentle and sweet. Flynn was one fine piece of ass, and I LOVED the chemistry between these two characters (they’re already my OTP. 
). The movie was extremely hilarious, it was packed with action, and it was just as sweet, sincere and romantic as the previous Disney Renaissance films. I laughed my ass off, I cried like a baby, and I choked up during a lot of the scenes. Even the 3D was great! Especially during the “I See The Light” scene. It actually made me want to reach up and touch one of the lanterns, lol. xD
Though to be extremely honest, I have to say my most favorite parts in the film wasn’t the action. It wasn’t any chase scenes, it wasn’t the humor, it wasn’t Mother Gothel, and it even wasn’t Pascal or Maximus (despite the fact that Maximus is my favorite Disney animal sidekick), but it was actually the love story between Flynn and Rapunzel. Maybe I’m being biased, but I felt like this was probably the best Disney relationship to ever come on screen. Yes they’re polar opposites when you first meet them (he’s a man of the world, and she knows next to nothing about the world), and yet they work so well because of how they compliment each other due to that reason. Flynn is Rapunzel’s rock; they inspire, learn and grow together, open up to each other and it’s because of her that he ends turning into a better person. He even ends up risking his life for her near the end, and it’s just so sweet. ;___; Yes people can say that we have Tiana and Naveen too, but Flynn and Rapunzel’s relationship (to me) is probably the most convincing, the most realistic and the most beautiful and sweetest depiction of love ever portrayed in an animated fairy tale Disney movie. <3 They’re so in love, and you can really feel it from watching them.
Also, I know a lot of people have been saying that the music is really weak. I have to disagree with that completely. I actually LOVED the music in the movie. My favorite is by far “I See the Light.” I even liked “Healing Incantation” despite it being short, but seriously, even the soundtrack was great. Love, love, LOOOVED it!
I have to say the only complaint I have is that the film seemed to be fast-paced for me and I didn’t leave the theater being “wow-ed” like I usually am with most animated films, but I guess that could be because I ended up spoiling some of the scenes for myself way before it’s release. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a great film though. I’m even planning to see it a second time (maybe next weekend), and I’m hoping I can enjoy it much better than I did the first time.
One last thing I have to add: [spoil]I actually have to agree with Rapunzel that Eugene is a way better name than Flynn, although if you ask me, Fitzherbert sounds horrible. I mean, remember when Rapunzel marries him near the end? Now she’s going to be called Rapunzel Fitzherbert, and that just sounds really weird. :S[/spoil]
Well, well, well. When I first heard they were making a Rapunzel, I was estatic! But when i saw the trailers, My excitment disappeared. I went into the movie today with low expectations.
However, my mind was BLOWN! I was on the edge of my seat at some parts! I loved the acting, I loved the animation (her hair when glowed, wow!), the songs, I could go on and on!
As for the music, I loved it! The score and songs were my least favorite of all Menkens work (outside of Home on the Range). But it was still beyond fantastic. Menken is just a genious, end of story.
I’m so glad I saw it. I dont’ like it as much as Princess and the Frog, but it’s still in my top 5 Disney movies.
Someone on TVTropes point out that [spoil]Fitz-insertsamehere is a surname meaning "the illegitimate child of nameinsertedhere And since Flynn is an orphan…[/spoil]
Just got back from seing the film a few hours ago. Here’s my quick review:
With John Lasseter having gained creative control over the studio several years ago now, it’s more than fair to say that Walt Disney Animation has become a force to be reckoned with in the industry. While I felt that Meet the Robinsons was a fairly middling entry in the “classic” canon, it was 2008’s Bolt that proved that it was still capable of creating films on par with those of its sister studio, Pixar. For me personally, it was the film that quickly found its way among Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski as one of my all-time favorites. So, when I heard that Tangled (or, as it was initially titled, Rapunzel) would also be under the helm of Byron Howard, along with Nathan Greno, Bolt’s head of story, I naturally got pumped. Thankfully, Disney Animation’s 50th feature continues the trend of excellence set by the duo’s last project.
If there’s one area where Tangled challenges Pixar, it’s in the animation. Much like in the studio’s previous computer-animated entry, all of the environments in the movie, while looking incredibly realistic, don’t contradict the cartoon-esque design of the characters. The film also provokes feelings of nostalgia, due in part by the painterly backgrounds that are reminiscent of films from Disney’s first Golden Age.
As far as the plot is concerned, it’s more or less what one would expect. That said, what Disney Animation tends to do best is have characters that are so relatable and different from one another that they make an otherwise traditional, borderline-formulaic tale feel virtually brand new. Definitely, that’s pulled off here. The two leads, Rapunzel and Flynn (played with genuine sincerity by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, respectively) make for one of the most likable Disney couples, and the two side characters that accompany them along their journey are just as endearing. Often, when going into an animated film in particular, I’m afraid of running into agonizingly annoying “sidekicks.” However, Rapunzel’s pet chameleon, Pascal, got quite a few laughs out of me, and Maximus, the horse of the Head of the Palace Guard, pretty much steals the show. The less said about him, out of fear of spoiling anything, the better.
You probably wouldn’t know it based on the way that this film was marketed, but Tangled is a musical. While I don’t see the soundtrack as a whole going down in history as one of the studio’s greatest, there are a couple of truly memorable musical numbers, one of which coming from the film’s villainess, Mother Gothel. Voiced excellently by Donna Murphy, she’s a character who constantly kept me guessing. If Gothel isn’t on par with Keith David’s Dr. Facilier from last year’s Princess and the Frog, she’s close.
Despite a mildly slow beginning, Tangled is one of the most entertaining, as well as one of the most emotionally resonant, movies that I’ve seen this year. Directors Byron Howard and Nathan Greno prove themselves to be more than just one-hit wonders by providing a film with mesmerizing visuals, catchy musical numbers, and a cast of characters that is almost entirely memorable. If nothing else, it’s the first film since Inception that’s reminded me why I dig this medium so much.
9/10
Well that’s certainly interesting. [spoil]Maybe Eugene (yes I like calling him that, lololol) was an illegitimate child himself? When he opens up to Rapunzel during the campfire scene, he does mention something about his parents. I can’t remember whether he said they deserted him or died, but he could even potentially be an illegitimate child himself.[/spoil]
About the film: actually, after absorbing what I saw, I think I ended up having more mixed feelings about the film (though I still stand by all the positive things I said about it too). It felt rushed and really fast-paced to me. Though like I said, it’s most likely because I spoiled and re-watched a lot of the scenes for myself on youtube, plus I think there was also WAY too much happening after Rapunzel left the tower. It was too much for my head to absorb all at once, I think.
I’m seeing the film again next weekend so maybe I’ll change my opinion (hopefully). And after watching most of the movie scenes on youtube for the first time, my reaction to everything was positive anyway, so I guess it’s all good.
