Tangled

 Disney has done it yet again and hit a home run for their animation studio. This was the second movie, I saw today and I'm very glad I actually saw it in theaters. Disney is still leading the pack with 3-D using it as a storytelling tool to add depth to the art and the story, not using gimmicks and cheap 3-D conversions. It was a great film to be the 50th animated Disney animated film.
     The story is a twist on the Rapunzel fairytale, where as a child she was stolen from the castle because of her magical hair. Locked away in a tower, where an evil woman used her hair to keep her forever young and filling Rapunzel's head full of fearful images of the outside world. Until a crook looking for a hideout stumbles upon our princess and helps take her on a  fun filled and sometimes danger filled adventure and while roaming about discovering who she really is.
     Disney has really pushed their CGI over its borders, especially with the character facial expressions in this film. You can tell Disney took and borrowed a little bit of past animation films and added it into their bag of tricks with this one. Alan Menkin as always did a wonderful and catchy soundtrack for Disney. This is definitely going to bring Disney animation back to the foreground against its competitors and set a bar to reach for the next few years.
    
     Once again I am sorry for how short this and Potter's reviews were, but, I just had to let it out that these are both two good films that deserve some attention. Lately, the last couple movies I watched, I had to point out the flaws, but, with films such as these with the entertainment value and quality they bring, its hard to even start to look at the bad points on the first viewing.
