Finally.

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2020)

This traditional princess story is brought into the 21st century with beautiful 3D animation, arguably the first of Disney's non-2D works to, well, actually work. Just because the studio is fifteen years behind Pixar doesn't mean it can't produce some genuinely good movies. 'Tangled (2010)' is fun, fast-paced and friendly, a nice shake-up of its source story. There are several enjoyable set-pieces and the characters are all likeable, too. Pascal is mood and Maximus is fantastically cartoonish, snappily stealing every single scene he's in. The thing isn't massively thrilling, per se, and it doesn't quite hit the emotional beats it aims for. Its musical nature also almost feels inconsequential, an added gimmick as opposed to an integral part of the storytelling. Still, these song sequences are mostly memorable and they're as entertaining as the rest of the piece. It's just a fun time, generally. If you want a princess story, there are plenty of worse ones out there. 7/10
