So a lot of you mightn't know this but I am a huge fan of the 2010 film Tangled starring Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi. It was funny,romantic,and most importantly it was full of nostlagia and heart. After the 2012 short of Tangled, both Nathan Greno and Bryon Howard announced that Tangled was done and dusted and to me I was kinda disappointed when they said this because I loved Tangled so much especially both Rapunzel & Eugene and I wanted more adventure and fun with these two charcthers.
But suddenly out of the blue,it was announced that Tangled will return back again with a new TV special movie and of course a TV show based on the 2010 hit film of the same name.
Enough of me rambling about Tangled,lets go into the new show now shall we.
The story kicks off after Rapunzel's coronation from Tangled(2010)and Rapunzel(voiced by the original voice actor Mandy Moore)is struggling to come to terms with her new found home, her boyfriend Eugene Fizherbert(aka Flynn Rider) voiced by Zachary Levi)wants to marry her,even proposing to her with a lovely ring. But of course she doesn't want to get married to him yet and says she does love him but she wants to see more of the world again. Since Rapunzel's father is so overprotective of her,Rapunzel runs away with her friend Cassandra and stumbles across a mysterious rock. But when Rapunzel touches the mysterious rock,her brown short hair turns back to the way it was when Rapunzel was kidnapped by Mother Gothel from the first film. Terrified she tries to hid her hair,only to get caught by Eugene and Rapunzel thanks him for being understanding and not freaking out over her hair. Later an evil woman called Lady Kane comes along to the castle and things are about to get down.
So will Rapunzel save her kingdom from Lady Kane. Now before I give you my final verdict here is my good,bad and then verdict.
Good: All the original actors are back Mandy Moore,Zachary Levi,Jeffrey Tambor etc ,plus Rapunzel's parents can finally talk and they have names now; Queen Ariana(voiced by Julie Bowen which was suppose to be Ashley Judd but she dropped out)and King Fredric(voiced by Clancy Brown). The story is again heartwarming and the animation is great but.....
Bad: I miss the CGI animation from the original Tangled film,because the charcthers were more real looking and my question is how come the likes of How To Train Your Dragon stayed CGI as a TV show when Tangled didn't. Yes maybe its got to do with the budget and all but still I do miss the CGI animation from the 2010 film.
The songs are good too but there No I See The Light,When Will My Life Begin etc. Alan Menken and Glen Slater are back once again to do the songs in this. This time the songs are Wind In My Hair(which is a nice balled sung by Mandy Moore)and Live Happily Ever After All sung by Mandy Moore,Clancy Brown and Zachary Levi. Levi again is hilarious as Eugene Fitzherbert and even more dreamy(although his other counterpart in the 2010 version was more better in design).
Overall I am so happy that Tangled is back again in my life and I am looking forward to getting this and the TV Show on DVD(if it gets released which I am praying it will be).
9/10
