Synopsis: Rapunzel is still an infant when she's kidnapped from her royal parents by a woman who knows that she's the only one with the power to keep her looking young and beautiful forever. This power comes from Rapunzel's hair, which loses its gift once cut. For this reason the abductor, who raises Rapunzel as if she were her own daughter, hides in a tower and never lets Rapunzel out. All this will change when Flynn, a charming thief, shows up on the scene.
The animation is excellent but what's most important is the screenplay. While the basic construct is still that of two good souls who find each other only to see their love somehow threatened by a villanous figure, Tangled manages to feel fresh and new, and that's all thanks to the script.
The Bottom Line: chalk one up to Disney, who finally put out a product on par with those produced by Pixar and DreamWorks. Tangled is a funny and fun to watch movie for the whole family, and we can only hope for many more at its level.
