Tangled - 10 stars out of 10

Tangled - 10 stars out of 10

"Tangled" is stunning. Disney has successfully transitioned a Disney Princess from classic animation to computer animation. I was skeptical of this but Disney did it completely right. The musical numbers by Alan Menkin, incredible scenery, unexpected surprises (like the tavern scene), and an evil stepmother-type figure will send chills down your spine and take you to a land far, far away, just like every classic Disney film out there. The animation is the best that I've ever seen, topping Toy Story 3. The hair was AWESOME. All of the shading gave the entire picture depth and made it look so realistic. Mandy Moore's voice was PERFECT for Rapunzel as her speaking and singing perfectly fit the Disney Princess persona. I would be remiss if I did not draw attention to Donna Murphy, whose voice stole the entire picture. Her character exuded an incredible amount of emotion, all through her intense and edgy vocalizations. With sight gags that will make you laugh out loud, songs that will be stuck in your head, and an ending that will warm your heart, "Tangled" has redefined a new generation of Disney classics.
