Disney has a formula that works. It can get old, but they know what they’re doing.
Years ago, I had low expectations when I first watched this film. It easily cleared that bar.
Last week I came in with fond memories of first watch. It still easily cleared expectations, though I must admit to being biased for any film that extols the virtues of a cast iron frying pan.
Unlike many Disney films, Tangled doesn’t have a truly surreal standout musical moment, though the showtune at the Snuggly Duckling is awesome.
Also not to be missed is Rapunzel’s wildly fluctuating internal turmoil when she first touches grass.
