A real surprise, and now one of my favorite animated movies

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2011)

Here is the thing about me. If there is a movie I really like I get depressed after I watch it, because I miss the movie already. This has only happened to me with the movie Avatar, How to Train Your Dragon, and Tangled. The movie has very likable characters which is what makes the movie so good.
The animation is beautiful, and very fluid. I was surprised how the movie feels more like a traditional hand drawn movie, than a CGI one. The hair in this movie does flow very nice, and it cool to watch. I love the way how smooth characters move, such as how Rapunzel seems to constantly be moving. Also Rapunzel's fake mom also walks very realistically, and sometimes moves very snake like. The animation sometimes is very detailed, while other times it messes up a bit, but this is rarely distracting.
But animation isn't the main thing that makes Tangled good. The characters are very likable. Usually horse characters are pretty standard, and aren't there except for comedy relief. This horse was actually interesting, and was funny at how unbelievable aggressive he was. Flynn Rider was pretty good as well, and a lot of his lines were humorous. Rapunzel is very energetic, and constantly doing everything possible. Pascal or whatever the chameleon's name is, was a pretty nice silent animal. You could tell what he was saying through his color, and his eye movement. Also his face expressions were pretty good. A nice thing about this movie is that it doesn't distract from the main characters with too many side characters. This means you get to know the main characters really well.
While some people complained about the villain in this movie, I honestly liked her more than the original tales version, because in this version she seemed to be evil, yet she was also nice at the same time. The movie does well at making its own story out of Rapunzel, and the plot does seem to flow together very well.
All in all a must watch movie for fans of Disney. I think that Disney needs to make more movies like this where it is CGI yet feels like a traditional animated movie, because I don't think they could've done this movie in 2D and make it as good.
