Excellent animation- Decent story- You'll enjoy it

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2011)

I enjoyed this movie a lot. It's an "old-fashioned" Disney animated movie, based on a traditional fairy tale. However the characters are given a more modern twist. Rapunzel is a young woman who, despite being locked in a tower for 18 years, is self-confident enough to persuade a passing thief to help her see the world.
The animation is excellent with plenty of bright colours. There is plenty of humour in the script, though not too many laugh out loud lines. The plot is pretty light, though there are a few dark moments in the closing 30 minutes (I wasn't scared.I swear!). There are also the usual Alan Menken penned songs. I'm not a great fan of putting songs in these movies, as it tends to slow down the plot but Disney sticks with their well-tried formula.
The movie is probably aimed mostly at pre-teen girls but accompanying adults won't find it hard to sit through.
