Review:

Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled," one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told! After receiving healing powers from a magical flower, the baby Princess Rapunzel (Moore) is kidnapped from the palace in the middle of the night by Mother Gothel (Murphy). Gothel knows that the flower's magical powers are now growing within Rapunzel’s golden hair; hence to stay young she must lock Rapunzel in her hidden tower. Gothel raises Rapunzel as her own daughter.

Meanwhile, the king and queen are pining for their lost daughter and let loose thousands of floating lanterns every year on her birthday. Rapunzel sees these lanterns from her window every year and is fascinated by the “floating lights” in the sky. Today at 16, Rapunzel’s hair has grown to a length of 70 feet! As her birthday gift, all she wants is to leave the tower and see the lights up close. But that’s not going to happen on Gothel’s watch.

The story takes a turnaround when a bandit Flynn Ryder (Levi) scales the tower and is taken captive by the feisty Rapunzel! A deal is struck between the two; Rapunzel wants Flynn to show her the floating lights and Flynn wants his stolen tiara back. And so starts the action-packed rollercoaster ride of their journey towards the kingdom, involving a gruff gang of pub thugs (who turn out to be a bunch of dreamers!), an overprotective chameleon and a super-cop horse who’s smarter than a king’s entire army. Oh, and hair! Lots and lots of hair!

So, let the adventure begin!
