As expected from any 21st century adaptation of a 19th century tale, Disney's rendition of the Brothers Grimm "Rapunzel" is a significant deviation from the original story - the long blond hair being one of the rare surviving elements. Nevertheless, this is a 100-minute delightful eye candy experience, with the scene of hundreds of lanterns rising in the calm of the night establishing a glorious peak in the history of Disney animation. Relax, watch the soothing imagery, listen to the uplifting music, and just enjoy the show.

Yesterday I teased my nephew when there was an add on TV for a doll with looooong blond hair. He was shocked that I even hinted he wanted the doll. The next ad was for TANGLED which he thought looked ok. I will no doubt see this movie at some point...could be years though.
ReplyDeleteI don't expect movies to follow the original story closely any more. At least they didn't call it Rapunzel!
Interesting about your nephew. I could imagine many boys would be interested in "Tangled", because I know a few adult men who were!
ReplyDeleteI always had a thing for Betty Rubble and Betty Boop and long hair is attractive ;D
