Movie Info

When the kingdom's most wanted-and most charming-bandit Flynn Rider hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel, a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for her ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang

It's the best Disney animation in years, and a natural counterpoint to the contemporary comic style that has come to dominate the industry.

The prettiness comes with brains, and the whole production, like those newly eye-catching models of American-made cars, bespeaks resurgent confidence.

There are no unnecessary pop references here, just fluid, graceful storytelling.

Disney's spirited re-telling of Rapunzel in 3D animation turns out to be a dazzler.

A short and sweet fractured fairy tale that succeeds in laughs, love, and sharp animation...

Is it on a par with films such as The Little Mermaid? No, but it's a worthy addition to the lineage

Not the best of the most recent Disney upswing, but certainly an entertaining achievement.

Don't let its princessness put you off - Tangled is Disney recapturing its magic and that fairy-tale sense of wonder that made its films appeal to boys, girls, mums, dads, nanas and pas in a silly yet wonderful way.

"Tangled" is a great film that should have been the fourth Oscar nominee for Best Animated feature.

Enjoyable movie but a little shallow and lifeless.

Yet another princess story calculated to revive the public's cash-dispensing interest in that kneaded-to-death formula.

It's a fleet, fun and splendidly realized digital fantasy designed to look like a Disneyland attraction come to life.

Disney returns to a successful formula for this enjoyable animated romp based on a Grimm fairy tale. It's bright and funny, but not too snappy, and skips the pop-culture references for a more timeless approach.

This one's strictly for the youngsters, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a very well-made kid's film.

Audience Reviews for Tangled

A fun enjoyable movie full of fluff and cheese and just good ol fashion Disney fairy tale fun. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi do a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life!

Since we entered the 21st century, there haven't been any great Disney films. However, 'Tangled', I thought, although maybe not the greatest Disney film, but does deserve a place amongst Disney's finest. Along with surpassing all films within the last decade, 'Tangled' is a lot of fun,along with going back to original
