Disney gets Tangled up

Rapunzel is the latest princess added to the Disney princesses’ collection. She is the star of the new Disney animated movie, Tangled, the Disney adaptation of the original story Rapunzel. This story takes you on a magical journey where two people, who have just met each other, fall in love while on an adventure. Although it is much more cliché compared to all the other Disney movies, Tangled is the best Disney movie that I have seen this year.
The soundtrack is one of many reasons why Tangled is such a great film. The music adds emotion while still remaining appropriate for the plotline. When Rapunzel sings, the song creates a poignant moment that adds another dimension to the movie. Like most Disney classics, the movie is more than a musical, with singing that is much more spontaneous. Normally, the singing in musicals is awkward compared with the story or plot. The music in Tangled is both heart-warming and happy, bringing joy to this romantic action-adventure film.
Not only is the music great, but the animals within the story are personified well. Maximus, the horse, is a particularly good example of this. He is smart, and can cope with any situation, hide himself, and ambush Flynn. These human-like characteristics also include the abilities to shake “hands”, fight, and search for lost things. However, as an animal, Maximus does not talk; instead, he uses his actions to convey his thoughts emotions. Pascal, the frog that stays on Rapunzel’s shoulder, is another example of a personified animal. From the beginning to the end, Pascal acts as a friend and a guide to Rapunzel. He is the friend that makes sure Rapunzel is safe and the “person” that makes sure that Flynn Rider is telling the truth. He acts like a human when he “talks” to Rapunzel, but he’s still an animal. Like Maximus, Pascal does not talk and uses actions to express thoughts; for example, his eyes bulge when he detects that Flynn is lying. Well-personified animals, namely Maximus and Pascal, add a lot to the likability of the film.
Then there are the great visual effects. Ever since the popularity of television and movies took hold, studios have been trying to produce films with better resolutions. Disney has taken the lead—the lantern scene makes the movie look more realistic than animated. Its high resolution lights up the scene and also makes it look more romantic. In addition, the hair was computer-drawn, but, impressively, its appearance is very convincing.
Tangled has everything that you expect to see in a film produced by Disney. You’ll certainly enjoy Tangled, the last Disney Princess movie.
