Well done, a little violent

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2013)

Mandy Moore does a great job here, and Rapunzel's every emotion is effectively communicated both by the animators and by Moore. Rapunzel is the perfect combination of sweet, funny, intelligent and strong. She totally convinces me that she loves her "mother", even though her mother uses her for her power but is herself also very convincing in her loving attitude. Zachary Levi is very good as Flynn, and being a fan of "Chuck", I wish I had known his name. But Flynn is funny and likable.
It's amazing how much Rapunzel knows about the outside world, but there are books in her castle. One would think that as much as Gothel wants to "protect" her, she wouldn't introduce her to so many concepts that the girl could use against her.
For a Disney movie, this is a little on the violent side, especially when Rapunzel and Flynn visit a hangout with a lot of tough men. But even that scene is still more comic and fantasy than really dangerous. A PG rating is probably justified but nothing to really worry about.
The story is interesting and gives Rapunzel many opportunities to show her intelligence and ability.
It's a good adventure for the whole family, except maybe the youngest kids.
