Before
Rapunzel was born her mother was very sick and needed the healing
powers of a special flower. They found the flower to heal the queen and
Rapunzel was born. Her hair inherited the healing powers of the flower.
Later mother Gothel , knowing about the healing powers, stole Rapunzel
from the castle and kept her locked in a tower so she could use the
healing powers to keep herself young. Rapunzel is turning 18 and her
hair has grown to 70-feet. After 18 years of being locked in the tower
she decided it’s time for her to go out and explore the world beyond
those walls. One day a local thief named Flynn Ryder scales the tower
and is held captive by Rapunzel. She strikes a deal with the charming
thief to act as her guide to take her to see the floating lights she has
seen every year on her birthday. Now, Rapunzel is in for the most
exciting adventure of her life.
In
past Disney princess movies they were mostly tailored to young girls
who still believe in princesses and fairy tales. For example,
Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and The Princess and the Frog. For other
princess movies they seemed to want to expand their audience to young
boys as well. They made Aladdin, Snow White, and now Tangled. Years ago
both girl dominated princess movies and princess movies that expanded to
young males thrived. Up until the last two Disney princess movies, The
Princess and the Frog, and Tangled. The Princess and the Frog didn’t do
as well as they hoped it would. To recover from that, they decided to
attempt to expand their audience on Tangled.
Tangled
was a great success. Not only did they expand their audience to young
males but to people of all ages. When I went to see the movie in
theatres I was accompanied by my boyfriend at the time. He is a Halo
playing nut who wears black clothes and tends to keep to himself. We
both came out of that theater in love with the movie. My sister also
probably watches the movie once a week and to this day my mom has yet to
rip her hair out from being sick of it. It never gets old.
Based
off my experience of the text of Rapunzel before Disney turned it into a
movie I think Disney did a great job. All I knew about the story of
Rapunzel was, “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” and that is it.
It is a great take on a story I never really knew. It has lively
characters that are funny and relate able, an amazing plot that keeps you
glued, and a wonderful ending that makes you never give up on dreams.
Overall
this movie is great for everyone. Whether you are a high school student
going out on their own, a young girl dreaming of her prince charming
(or in this case Flynn Ryder), or a boy who thinks he is all that and a
bag of chips but knows someday a girl will change that. This movie is
for the dreamer in all of us and helps us see the dreams that come true
every day in reality. I know I will keep this story in my heart for the
rest of my life, and I think anyone else who has seen this movie will do
that same.

I have honestly never seen Tangled but it seems like a great movie to watch. I have heard a lot about it and I know that they made a video game for it but that's about it. Maybe, when I have some free time, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteWhen I went to go see this in theaters, me and my friend thought we were going to be the oldest people there but to our surprise, the theater was filled with people of all ages and when it was over, everyone was saying how much they loved this movie. In my opinion, it is one of the best Disney movies.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this movie, but it sounds like a really good movie to see, I may be going to Movie Fan to rent!
