Tangled
The classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale gets a lavish CG makeover as directors Byron Howard and Nathan Greno team up to tell the tale of a fair-haired beauty (voiced by Mandy Moore) with long-flowing locks, a gallant hero with a heart of gold, and the evil witch who plots to keep these lovelorn innocents apart.
Director: Nathan Greno
Starring: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy, Ron Perlman, Jeffrey Tambor
The film is picture-book pretty and fairly conventional, except for the 3-D, which is emerging as a convention in its own right. Still, the prettiness comes with brains, and the whole production, like those newly eye-catching models of American-made cars, bespeaks resurgent confidence.
There's also a Disney den of big, comically dumb-looking bad guys who turn sweet when Rapunzel sings to them. Because Happily Ever After never goes out of fashion
Disney's spirited re-telling of Rapunzel in 3D animation turns out to be a dazzler.
Though not exactly innovative, Tangled has a snappy pace and the Broadway-style appeal of classic Disney fare.
A passably entertaining hodgepodge of old and new animation techniques, mixed sensibilities and hedged commercial calculations.
