Easily my new favorite Disney Prince and Princess, Tangled was amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2010)

I've wanted to see Tangled since I heard about it. I must have heard about it back in July. Maybe earlier. I remember seeing the teaser trailer where it just had the voices and the tower. Rapunzel was always my favorite of the Grimm Fairy Tales. I must be the only person in the world, but back when Less Than Perfect was on, I used to watch it. That's when my love for Zachary Levi began. I always liked him. I thought he was hilarious and Kipp was easily my favorite character. So when he was cast on Chuck, I started watching that show and I'm so glad I did. It's easily one of my favorite shows and it has only made my love for Zachary Levi grow exponentially. So when I heard he was cast as the "prince" I was so thrilled beyond belief. I couldn't wait. I remember thinking, "I have to wait until Thanksgiving?!" When I saw the first trailer, I legitimately squealed with excitement. Especially because Zachary Levi's character Flynn wasn't a prince, but a handsome and arrogant thief. My favorite kind of guy! Now I've finally seen Tangled and it surpassed my already extremely high expectations. I can't believe I didn't realize it was going to have music (why else would Mandy Moore be cast?) I felt extremely silly and thought, "Of course. This is a Disney Princess movie." I thought the movie was phenomenal. I already had incredibly high expectations and the movie was everything I expected and more. I thought it was a very interesting and creative take on Rapunzel. I've read the actual Grimm Fairy Tale, and it's true that it barely follows it. It just basically used the idea. From the first song to the last song, I loved every minute of this highly entertaining tale. Of course Mandy Moore did her own singing and then the first song came and Zachary Levi did his own too. And you know what? He wasn't even half bad. (Just another thing that makes me love him). I wasn't extremely stunned by how amazing he was and I don't really have an ear for music or technology, but it didn't sound like his voice was edited all that much (but that's just me). You know how you hear those girls singing on Disney and it kind of sounds like a robot/computer is singing? Well, it didn't sound like that. And I know Zachary Levi's speaking voice very well (I've been watching him on TV for years) and it sure sounded like him. I was pleasantly surprised. And of course, I'm a sucker for a Disney Princess movie. Rapunzel was very tough, which I liked, kind of like Tiana from Princess and the Frog. And I liked how the romance definitely developed through their adventures. Having read the actual Grimm Fairy Tale in which the prince falls out the window after being tricked by Mother Gothel into coming in and goes blind, I had a guess as to what was going to happen to Flynn after he cut Rapunzels hair. In the original tale, Rapunzel cried on him and his eye sight was restored, leading me to believe that her tears would bring him back to life. I have to admit though, I was a bit nervous as was my friend who didn't know as much about the original tale. Anyway, I should wrap this up. The movie looked gorgeous (wouldn't expect less from Disney), the music was great, I loved the voice acting (anyone else notice Brad Garrett as the guy with the hook hand?!), I loved the storyline, I loved the new princess, I loved the new prince. I loved the new, creative look at a classic fairy (especially turning the prince into a thief; I thought that was brilliant). So if you couldn't tell, I enjoyed the movie. Quite a bit. I would recommend it to anyone. I don't have anything to say about the 3D as I saw it in 2D (3D makes me physically nauseous). But I enjoyed it so much, I've seen in twice and I might go again next week.
