Tangled

Tangled is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Loosely based on the German fairy tale, Rapunzel in the collection of folk tales published by the Brothers Grimm, it is the 50th Disney animated feature film. Featuring the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy, the film tells the story of a lost, young princess with long magical hair who yearns to leave her secluded tower. Against her mother's wishes, she accepts the aid of an intruder to take her out into the world which she has never seen.

Plot
Disney animation of a classic tale. Beautiful princess Rapunzel has been locked away in a tower since she was captured as a baby by an old hag. Her magical long blonde hair has the power to provide eternal youth, and the evil Gothel uses this power to keep her young. At the age of 18, Rapunzel becomes curious about the outside world, and when a prince uses her tower as a refuge, she asks him to help her escape.

Why It Is A Dream

 * 1) Awesome CGI animation that fits the style of 2D Disney films, in fact, it even looks a lot like a film from DreamWorks or even Blue Sky Studios.
 * 2) Amazing voice acting from Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, with Levi being the best.
 * 3) The songs in the film are amazingly well done, like Mother Knows Best, I've Got a Dream, and most notably I See the Light.
 * 4) Likable and entertaining characters like Rapunzel, Eugene and even the comic reliefs Pascal and Maximus which both even got their own short film that takes place after the film.
 * 5) Despite being a little edgy and more realistic than most Disney film, it has a plenty of funny moments as well, like the scene where Rapunzel is terrified of something in the bushes and It turns out to a be a cute little bunny and the scene where both Eugene and Maximus falling from a cliff.
 * 6) Eugene's death, and resurrection and Rapunzel reuniting with her parents are very touching and emotional scenes, especially for a Disney film.
 * 7) Many action scene are really well-done.
 * 8) It delivers plenty of important life lessons like stepping out of your comfort zone, make your dreams come true and never give up hope as Rapunzel parents never lost hope for her return.
 * 9) Mother Gothel is a very good and manipulative villain.
 * 10) It makes a jab at medieval stereotypes.
 * 11) Pretty dark and scary scenes like the scene where Gothenburg finds out that Rapunzel left the tower and the scene where Eugene betrays Rapunzel.
 * 12) The settings is well done where it takes place for medieval during the 1960s.
 * 13) The story is amazingly well written.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Major plot hole: In the first act, Mother Gothel states that if Rapunzel gets her long hair cut off, her hair will turn brown and she will lose her healing powers. When her hair does get cut off by Eugene, her hair does turn brown, but she still keeps her healing powers via her tears. Fans speculated that the hair color should not have changed if it was cut, as it doesn’t happen in real life.
 * 2) Some scenes may be a bit dark for a PG-rated film, such as Mother Gothel's death, which feels like it came from a horror film.
 * 3) The first act can get pretty slow, though fortunately, the second and third acts are faster.
 * 4) The reprises of some of the songs aren't that memorable.

Trivia

 * With the budget of $260 million, it is the most expensive animated film ever made and one of the most expensive films of all time.
 * The scene where the group at a bar points a number of swords at Eugene, who doesn't sing, spawned an internet memes.
 * When first put into production, the film was promoted as having the title Rapunzel Unbraided, which was later changed to Rapunzel. Disney's previous animated feature The Princess and the Frog in 2009, while being well-received by various critics and taking in nearly $270 million worldwide was not as successful as Disney had hoped. Catmull would later admit in writing that Disney Animation's faith that The Princess and the Frog's excellent quality would bring in all audiences notwithstanding the word "princess" in the title was their version of "a stupid pill." In order to market the film to both sexes and additional age groups, Disney changed the film's name from Rapunzel to Tangled while also emphasizing Flynn Rider, the film's prominent male character, showing that his story is just as important as Rapunzel's. Disney was criticized for altering the title as a marketing strategy. Floyd Norman, a former Disney and Pixar animator and story artist, said, "The idea of changing the title of a classic like Rapunzel to Tangled is beyond stupid. I'm convinced they'll gain nothing from this except the public seeing Disney as desperately trying to find an audience."
 * This film was very popular in India, due to the uncanny coincidence that Rapunzel's birthday celebration song "I See The Light" unintentionally resembles the Diwali festival, due to using floating candles on rivers.
 * The film is also pretty popular in Japan because many Japanese see Rapunzel as a hard-working and brave role model for women, not to mention, the design are also similar to anime.
