Movie Review - Tangled (May Contain Spoilers)

Hey everybody! I was so excited to see Tangled and finally was able to during my Thanksgiving break. It was just as exciting as I was hoping to be. I loved it! I have actually seen it twice already, once in 2D and the other time in 3D. It was good either way. The second time seeing it, I was able to go with the whole animation department and afterwards received insight into the movie from my former teacher and now Disney employee. That actually made that movie all the better.
The animation in the movie was fantastic. Some of the best animation in a 3D movie. It was snappy and flowing and beautiful. There may have been a couple scenes that weren't as great, but for the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the scenes there were no talking but you could tell exactly what the character was thinking by the subtle expressions on their faces. The story was also very good. It kept me entertained the whole time. I never felt myself drifting. I loved every moment. My favorite scene by far was the lantern scene. It took my breath away even the second time seeing it. The colors were beautiful, the song was one of my favorites in the whole movie, and you could really tell what the characters were thinking.
All the characters in the movie were fantastic. Each character had their own personality that was dynamic unto themselves and was able to keep me engaged. Each of the characters had a special relationship to one another that made for really great moments.
What I really loved about the movie was that Disney was to make a movie that did not include stupid innuendoes and inappropriate sexual humor. All the humor was clean and I personally appreciate it. Some other movies make you wonder if it is truly meant to be a children's movie. I know they want to make it enjoyable for the adults too, but to me, it is unnecessary. They didn't do the opposite either and put in jokes that are cheesy that only 10 year olds could laugh at. Disney found a way to be clean and appropriate for all ages. I think that almost anyone can enjoy Tangled.
There were a couple parts of the movie I thought could use some change, but for the most part, I really loved it. I would mind going to watch it a third time. I recommend this to anyone young or old. A great family film. SO WATCH IT!!!
