Disney has done it again.

They’ve turned another classic childhood story into a wonderfully enchanting movie.

The movie “Tangled,” a spin-off of the childhood fairytale “Rapunzel,” premiered last week in 3D, tangling the audience in the captivating plotline.

The movie starts with the birth of the heroine, Princess Rapunzel.  She is born with yards and yards of hair. But this hair is far from ordinary. Rapunzel possesses tresses that have magical healing powers, and like any other fairytale someone is out to use these powers for evil.

Cue villainess, Mother Gothel.

Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel so she can use Rapunzel’s hair’s healing power to make herself young forever. Consequently, Gothel raises Rapunzel as her own daughter in a tower in the middle of the woods. Trapped in the secluded tower, Rapunzel is cut off from the world to live a life with her mother and her chameleon sidekick named Pascal. I mean what’s a Disney princess movie without an animal companion?

Now flash forward 18 years.

Rapunzel is living a dreary life in her ivory tower and longs for adventure. She dreams of seeing the lanterns that fill the sky on her birthday. The problem? Rapunzel has been bound to the tower by her “adopted” mother Gothel.

Now cue prince charming, I mean thief, Flynn Ryder.

Ryder is the kingdom’s most notorious and extremely handsome thief, who always seems to escape danger by the skin of his teeth. Rapunzel and Ryder have their first encounter when he uses Rapunzel’s tower as a hideout after he is caught robbing the palace.

Even though Rapunzel and Ryder are two completely different people trying to accomplish two different tasks, Rapunzel’s sweet and innocent demeanor meshes extremely well with Ryder’s roguish and daring lifestyle.

From there, Rapunzel and Ryder come to the agreement that he will take her on an adventure to see the lanterns that light the sky every year on her birthday in exchange for Flynn’s loot from the palace. Rapunzel, Ryder, and Pascal then embark on a whimsical adventure to the kingdom, with Mother Gothel on their coattails trying to get Rapunzel back  home.

“Tangled” is a wonderful film that warms the hearts of all audiences. However, “Tangled” is Disney’s 50th animated film and tenth princess film. Therefore, it has large shoes to fill in comparison to Disney classics such as “The Little Mermaid” and “Cinderella.”

Even though “Tangled” could never surpass previous Disney films, anyone who sees “Tangled” will be sure to laugh, smile, and even shed a tear at this whimsical fairytale.
