Tangled by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, 2010


with Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy, Ron Perlman, M.C. Gainey, Jeffrey Tambor, Brad Garrett, Paul F. Tompkins, Richard Kiel

Disney animators take on the classic Grimm Brothers story of Rapunzel (Mandy Moore), a long-locked beauty imprisoned in a secluded tower by evil hag Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy), who needs the rejuvenating powers of Rapunzel's tresses to remain young. When a bandit on the lam (Zachary Levi) helps Rapunzel escape, the old crone plots to recapture her and end her budding romance with the thief.

Funny, a little bit, specially the horse I guess. A traditional Walt Disney, with a happy ending, prince and princess, a witch, a hero, and some side jokes and tears to make the people feel some emotions. Well designed, it is very simple, very adequate to our time, except perhaps that a woman will always need a guy to solve her problems. Damned it. Anyway, not the best one, just a traditional Walt Disney.
