Tangled

The cute animation brings back the story of Rapunzel in the children’s movie Tangled. It’s witty dialogue and charming characters pull the viewer in from the first second. The animation is also well done in a way that looks real without being creepy. Rapunzel, an 18 year-old, is wishing to see the floating lanterns for her birthday, yet as circumstances unravel and the story moves on, she is left to her own devises with a thief, Flynn Rider. They travel their way to the king and queen’s castle in order to see the floating lanterns that are released into the air every year on her birthday. The lighting plays a key role in the movie because of the way it reflects how Rapunzel is feeling. For example when she was contemplating to continue on her quest to the castle or stay at home like she was supposed to, she is faced with a hard decision. In the scenes where she’s arguing it will only be good for her, the tone is free and the lighting is bright and lighthearted. The scenes where Rapunzel is trying to talk her way out of going to the castle, the dialogue is sad and depressing along with the lighting. The viewers cheer on Rapunzel even when she is facing hard choices and even bigger threats. She stays true to herself and even finds true love. As the movie progresses you fall for the charismatic characters of Maximus, the palace horse, Flynn, the thief, and even Pascal, the chameleon. The movie is a great one for a rainy day with younger siblings or even if you’re older. Tangled is a classic that will forever be in our hearts.
