Tangled, a fangirl's squee (POTENTIAL SPOILERS, PLEASE BE WARNED)

Dec 07, 2010 01:07

So, I've seen Tangled twice since it came out. Let me start this post by saying that when I first started seeing the trailers this was my reaction; :<<< because all we saw of Rapunzel was her swinging around the tree and I passed her off as being unbearably ditzy ( Read more... )

Somehow, that simple revelation made him go from jackass to adorkable and how sincere he was by the end of the movie! He might just be one of my favorite disney boys.

He is probably my favorite Disney boy. I am a sucker for the snarky, bad boy (as much as Disney does bad boys) with a heart of gold. And I loved the reveal that he'd named himself (and was telling stories to the other orphans, awwww).

Queen and King. I loved the fact that the few moments we saw them were silent. I think it really just drove home the emotions of their scenes.

Yes! And I loved that in the scene where they were releasing the balloons, it seemed like the king was even more emotional about it than the queen. Which I liked.

can her hair ever grow out again? I'm going to go with no. Remember when she showed Flynn that piece of hair that was what the villainess had originally cut from her baby!self? I'm going to go with once the hair is gone, it's gone for good. (Not that it's beyond the realm of possibility for her to have other sun-powers since, you know ( ... )

this is a little series of one-shots that is, so far, my favorite. The wording can get a little repetitive at times, but the love for the characters and her dialogue makes it worth looking past that. (ff.net, who knew?)

*resist reading the spoilers* I wanna go see it! My flist keep saying good stuff about it. Hopefully I'll go tomorrow with my sisters.

I had tried to keep it completely spoiler free which was hard so I did the best I could :hugs: I really hope you get to go see it because it is fantastic one of disney's best in YEARS.

I haven't seen the movie, I read the Wikipedia page, because I am an uncaring beast like that. Now I have to reconsider if I want to see it.
See, overall it seems good. But. One things.
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Why does her hair turn brown? Why? Does it have some relevance, or is it just, "We must make the loss of her hair more traumatic. Let's make it BROWN. Because no-one likes brown hair."
And that bugs me so much that I don't want to see the movie. Is there any explanation for it?

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

her hair is supposed to be brown, naturally. It was blonde to represent her sunlight powers (that's the entire thing, the flower that gothel was using to stay young was taken by the kingdom to save the queen who was ill while pregnant. it gave rapunzel the same powers as the magic flower). When they cut her hair, she lost the magical ability so her hair turned back to the way it should have been if the flower had never existed.

(and it's actually adorable, because Flynn looks at her and is like "did I ever tell you, I have a thing for brunettes?"

Never change, Disney.
Okay, that makes more sense. I still don't really like the "hair changes to blonde with speshul" think, but that was my only objection.
Now I must plot a way to convince a parental unit to take me1

I LOVE this review! I don't think that I've read a review for a movie that was this in depth before. Brilliantly written (and it's the second time that i've read it, lol).

I also don't think that I've ever squee'd more with any other Disney movie than I did with this one. It was full of those and awwwww's and "how cute!"s and a crying moment.

All in all, I cannot WAIT for this to come out on DVD/Blu Ray

You and me both! I look forward to seeing what extra features that they have on there! Hopefully if there are scenes that were deleted, they were fully animated and all that. *crosses fingers*

On the hair thing: I don't think so either. Poor girl. :(

iki_teru December 23 2010, 05:51:40 UTC

eeeee! thank you, that's very sweet of you to say so :) I'm a huge fan of this movie, and as a huge Disney dork in general I'm so happy they didn't half-ass anything in this movie.

I'm also glad to see so many other Tangled fans around :D

angel_2606 December 23 2010, 05:58:05 UTC

You're welcome! It's the truth. Things for me personally have been kinda topsy-turvy crazy lately, so I've not had a chance to see it in theaters, but I did manage to see it. *looks around furtively ( ... )

iki_teru December 23 2010, 06:15:01 UTC

Beauty and the Beast is my other top favorite! Tangled is definitely trying to elbow it out of the way though!

It's kind of ironic that those two are so similar, when Ursula was trying to convince Ariel that yes, going land side is a great idea! and Gothel was trying to convince Rapunzel to stay in her nice, safe and familiar tower.

We actually own PatF and I have watched it several thousand times, about a hundred with the commentary on :3 I'm from Louisiana so I kept a close eye on a lot of the shenanigans they were pulling and I approve of most of them. The accents weren't terribly cliched, Ray was my favorite character ever and I adored the fact that Charlotte and Tiana were such good friends ( ... )
