...generally. Tangled's combination of fantastic magical princesses with a nontraditional outlaw boyfriend and some blustery action make for a highly intriguing spoof of the Grimm tale of Rapunzel. In execution, though, some things were left out. I didn't find myself get much into the characters, especially Maximus, and the story 's attempts to engage were quite inconsistent in my experience and came with varying degrees of success. There is still the exquisitely charming animation, and oh God Alan Menken did the songs (sorry, I thought IMDb admins would chastise me for overdoing all capitals)! The music was an excellent distraction from any times the characters couldn't keep our eyes peeled to them and the eye candy was starting to turn tart. Yes, I agree that Frozen is better, but I'll get to that one in 3 reviews and I did have to consider how their concepts were quite similar (I can't describe it quite like CinemaSins can). It isn't solid enough to be an all-time classic, but it is still worthy of one view.
