Tangled Review and Giveaway

Growing up I remember the story of Rapunzel and how the home-dude would call out for her to let down her hair. In the original Grimm Brothers story Rapunzel was taken from her parents after a man was caught stealing and held by Mother Gothel until Rapunzel was twelve. Around this time home-dude passed by and heard Rapunzel’s voice and was quickly enthralled with the young lass. Mother Gothel found out and, in some versions, threw him out of the tower impaling his eyeballs on some thorns blinding him until months later he found himself hearing a very familiar voice getting water from a stream. After that she cried over him and her tears restored his sight and Mother Gothel was left trapped in the tower without Internet forever.

I must say…thank goodness that Tangled, Disney’s version of this classic story, is more upbeat and uplifting. In some versions Rapunzel was even pregnant around the age of twelve. I popped this movie in on an afternoon after my kiddos had already watched it four times. As I sat in my recliner watching this on my laptop (and getting very weird looks from my wife) I realized this is a movie that had kept me interested in what was going on, had me very curious about what was going to happen next and made me prolong a bathroom break during it. The changes to the original fairy tale were done in a typical “Disney turn for the best” fashion and made some great updates that made the film memorable and hip to kids today and for years to come.

Film Synopsis

When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) hides out in a mysterious tower, he’s taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn’s curious captor, who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower she’s been locked away in for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief, and the unlikely duo sets off on an actionpacked escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an overprotective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. Tangled is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

Tangled is available now as a 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray 3D + Bluray + DVD + Digital Copy) for the suggested price of $49.99 US/$56.99 Canada, a 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD) for $39.99 US/$44.99 Canada and/or a 1-Disc DVD for $29.99 US/$35.99 Canada.

      There’s so many princesses now, I honestly have no idea who they all are. I know mainly the well-known ones like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. So, it really doesn’t make a difference to me even though she wasn’t born a princess in the story.

      Cassandra C on April 16th, 2011 9:38 pm

      I think they should go ahead and make her a Disney Princess. I’m pretty sure Mulan is considered a Disney Princess and she wasn’t royalty.

      Veronica Garrett on April 16th, 2011 9:39 pm

      I think she should be a Disney princess.
