Beautifully Tangled...

  ...     
     

Flynn: Alright blondie.

Rapunzel: Rapunzel.

Flynn : Gesundheit.

There are good movies, and then there are the absolute wonders that are them Disney movies. Though admittedly, I was pretty disappointed with Tangled at first because of the shoddy random end. Or so I very critically arty fartily thought. But then like all other Disney movies, it grew on me and just when I was least expecting it, it hit me, as they always do, in all it's happy technicolor glory.


Rapunzel: Who's that?

Flynn: They don't like me.

Rapunzel: Who's that?

Flynn: They don't like me either.

Rapunzel: And who's that?

Flynn: Let's just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn't like me!


Tangled is the updated  Rapunzel story. Instead of a prince, there's a self obsessed, obnoxious thief. I presume Disney's finally taking a shot at being realistic. Sappy princes so don't work anymore man. Give us bad, sarcastic, rude with a 5 o' clock shadow and we're a puddle of drool. I'm pretty sure the Disney wives were involved in the making.

Rapunzel: Who are you, and how did you find me?

Flynn: [clears throat] I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say... Hi. [cocky grin] How you doin'?


I really don't understand the flak that it's been getting. So Disney's been on this twisted fairy tales spree (Also read, Princess and the frog), but so what?! They're still those lovely Disney movies which envelop you in a bubble and leave you smiling for days after. A happy bubble which floats above all the mopeyness and the brokeness and the angstyness. I chose Tangled over equally, probably awesomer, 127 hours, but I'm glad I did. Because sometimes, when all else fails, all you need is some Disney to get by.

Flynn: I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder.


So here's to the frying pan, which does everything but fry.
