Tangled (aka Rapunzel)

Any fans of the film out there? I am. ;D

Eh, it's ok. I'm not huge into Disney princess films in the first place, but I thought that one was cute. :3

Though if I had to pick, I think my favourite was The Princess and the Frog.

The Princess and the Frog was a good movie too; I find it stupid though that they had to change Tangled's name from Rapunzel and Dreamworks-ied the marketing because PatF made less money than Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakuel.

Anyways, its one of my favorite movies of all time and I think its an instant classic on par with all the other great Disney films out there.

Freaking. Love. Tangled.


Seriously, it's earned a spot on my top favorite Disney movies list. I can watch it a million times and never get sick of it

I just saw it like 2 weeks ago. It's a lot better than I thought it would be. A very good movie

Say, does anyone think the marketing and the title change after The Princess and the Frog made less money than Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel was bad?

If you ask me, I think the Japanese trailer for the film was the best:


Sadly, this'll probably be taken down because Aparently both Disney and YouTube don't like us seeing good quality trailers.

Here's a little psuedo-essay about the symbolism of the sun and light in the movie and why its important to the story:

Rapunzel receive her magical blonde hair in utero after her mother drinks a special tea made from a magic flower that has blossomed from a speck of sunlight. Light actually plays a very important part in the story and goes back to Greek Mythology with Apollo, who drives the sun across the sky, not only bringing light to the world, but also enlightening the minds enabling them to understand the truths of the world. The floating lanterns Rapunzel sees from her tower once every year on her birthday is sent out by her parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom which sources mention is called "Corona" (which not only is a word for crown, as referencing to Rapunzel royal origins, but also a glowing "atmosphere" around the sun), are lighting the way for Rapunzel to return home after being kidnapped by Mother Gothel as a baby. As Rapunzel leaves her tower, she learns more about the world and about her origins as she becomes more enlightened with truth and at last she "sees the light".

I love tangled! I'm acctually a bit afraid that A monster in Paris is going to replace it for my current obsession!

Well good news, the Disney Princess online page has added Rapunzel to their club; now we've gotta wait till the dress-up game comes out so we can dress her in pretty clothes.
