Tangled Review

I received Tangled as an Easter present and it is now one of my favorite movies! It's a great family movie and it is filled with humor!

If your not sure about this movie just keep reading...I think I can change your mind. ;)


A sick queen about to give birth is in need of a magical golden flower with healing powers. This flower has been used by an old lady, named Gothel, to make her young over and over again. When the Queen's guards find the special flower to help her, Gothel follows them to take the flower back. She is too late though! The Queen has already eaten the petals of the flower and has been healed. She gives birth to a beautiful baby girl with long, golden hair. She is named Rapunzel.

Gothel is still in need of the flower's powers to make her young again. She finds out that the powers of the flower were transferred to Rapunzel's hair. Gothel thought the best idea was to break into the palace and cut a little piece of hair from the baby girl. That way she could keep some of the power for herself. But when she cut the small piece hair the powers faded and it turned brown. Gothel knew the only way she could have the powers was to take the whole package. Rapunzel was kidnapped that day by Gothel.

Gothel had taken Rapunzel to the tower where she lived and raised her there as her daughter. Rapunzel was never allowed outside of the tower because Gothel wanted to keep her hair safe. If anything happend to Rapunzel's hair Gothel would turn old again. Rapunzel's hair grew long and beautifully and Gothel was very proud of it. Every time Rapunzel would sing her hair would glow and give Gothel her youth back. But Rapunzel was unaware of what her "mother" wanted her for. She knew her hair was magical but she didn't know that the one person she should keep her hair away from was the one person keeping her in that tower.

Every year on her birthday, Rapunzel saw these beautiful, floating lights that lit up the sky. She wanted to know where they came from and see them up close more than anything. Little did she know that the King and Queen sent them out every year on their little girl's birthday hoping that she would come back to them.
Rapunzel had asked Gothel if she could go see the lights. Of course the answer was no.

One day when Gothel was out, Flynn Rider, a thief, was being chased by guards because he had stolen the missing princess's tirara. Trying to find a place to hide, he stumbles upon the hidden tower and climbs up. Rapunzel is extremely frightened when she finds a man in her house. She decides to take action by knocking him out and tieing him up with her hair. When he regains consciousness, she persuades him to take her to the lights. She uses the tirara as a bargaining chip.  If he takes her to the lights, he can have his tirara back.
Of course he has no choice so he agrees to take her.

They go on an awesome journey filled with many obstacles and funny moments. Throughout the movie Gothel and the guards are chasing them. I will not tell you the end because it would completely ruin the movie for you! Will Rapunzel get to see the lights? Will Flynn get put in prison for his crime? With the King and Queen find their lost daughter? You will have to see for yourself!

This movie is now available at redbox and anywhere where movies are sold! :)
