The young Rapunzel has been imprisoned all her life in a tower with no doors, the only way in is using her incredibly long hairs as a rope. Her sad isolation ends when Dashing thief Flynn Rider get in the tower.
After a long time I finally managed to see this one thanks to a morning screening (with a lot of thankfully well behaved kids).
Disney appears to have perfected his classic formula. The leads are both engaging and sympathetic, the action is still breathtaking but now it is done in such an effortless way, spotlessly integrated in the movie, the musical moments unobtrusive and engaging. They really made an art out of it.
The animation is yet again wonderful. It’s not hand drawn like last year “The princess and the frog” and I really hope that the return to hand drawn animation is not dead already but it still looks gorgeous. They did their best to get over the limits of CGI and drew a lot of inspiration from classical painting from the Rococo era.
Like a lot of these animated features this movie is a rare beast that manages to be both funny and engaging at the same time. Point to a villain that manages to be really scary without using any dark art. Actually adult viewers could appreciate a lot of stuff that will probably fly above the heads of the children watching.
I think is safe to say it. Disney animation is enjoying another new renaissance and this is a wonderful time to be a fan.
