Thank you, John Lasseter!

I clearly remember the last time I was excited about a Disney movie. It was "The Emperor's New Clothes". My son sort of likes "Bolt", but I can't stand it. With Pixar around, who wants to see stuff like "Home on the Range" or "Chicken Little"? In my eyes, Disney was absolutely defeated by Pixar in every conceivable way.
Which is a shame, really, since there are so many great things about Disney - nobody used to be able to tell a story like them, and their hand-drawn visuals do things that CG can't.
So, what happens when Lasseter does Disney? Well, "Tangled". It rocks. It looks awesome - completely distinct than any Pixar film, with a beauty of its own. The story moves slowly at first, but the set-up is well worth it. There's a moment that will probably take your breath away. It was magic, the kind Disney were masters at.
I loved it. While nothing this year was going to be able to beat Toy Story 3 (I mean, why even try?) this is a great 50th film for Disney. They should be proud of themselves. They are definitely back in the game, with a little bit of Pixar magic.
