IN MY younger days, I tried to grow my hair long enough to sit on. At one point, if I threw my head back far enough, it was actually possible. Yes, what an achievement! OK, so what does this all have to do with Tangled? Well, it’s a Disney animation based on the classic fairytale Rapunzel– the one with the super long hair.
In this modern twist on the classic fable, Princess Rapunzel is born with golden locks featuring magical abilities – eternal youth, beauty and healing. You may scoff at pop princess Mandy Moore as the lead, but she honestly provides real personality and a bit of spunk to long-haired lass, Rapunzel.
The evil Mother Gothel kidnaps her, hiding her in a tower for 18 years. She raises her as her daughter, all the while using the hair’s power to keep herself young and beautiful. Each year on Rapunzel’s birthday, she becomes mesmerised by the “floating lights’’ seen through the tower window. She longs to see them. And her wish is soon made possible when the kingdom’s handsome outlaw Flynn Rider (voiced by Zachary Levi) stumbles across the tower and Rapunzel.
And so begins the “hair’’-raising, and often hilarious, adventure. You can probably predict what happens in the end – yep, evil woman dies, couple fall in love, live happily ever after. It is a fairytale, after all. However, don’t disregard it. This one – a film with real heart – is certainly worth the ride.
I laughed out loud at the physical comedy and witty script and I sobbed uncontrollably (oh, that lantern scene). It’s a captivating storyline immersed with uplifting songs sung beautifully by Moore. And to think, such a successful formula, yet it’s not part of the Pixar line-up. Finally, Disney is back! Stellar.
There’s a host of great bonus features, including a 50th animated feature countdown, which Ella watched on repeat. Tangled is Disney’s 50th animated release and is out May 11 on 3D Blu-ray Pack ($54.95), Blu-ray Value Pack ($39.95) and DVD ($24.95).

We LOVED this movie! What a spunky heroine. I must say though that in terms of super powers, the hair thing isn’t really up there, is it?
For me, flying would be the ultimate. x
Oh how does one pick just one super power? As a mother i would like to have go go gadget arms! So i could do things with all 5 kids at once, or reach the twins when im feeding Emily – Oh that would be good!!

I think being super fast would be great, just imagine what one could do ? lol

Oh this is hard to choose a superpower. I think I would like to be able to stop time like the girl in that 80’s show (cant remember the name of the show)- she would put her two fingers together to stop time but she could still do things. I think that would be a handy power to have lol

For my super power I’d like to be able to relieve/remove pain emotionally or physically, you could do so much with a power like that.
my daughter and I loved Tangled, could see it again again. So in say that my magical power would be to have the power over time, then i could go back in time, slow time down and speed it up of stop time and then finally go forward in time to see how my daughters futures.

I’d love to have the power to heal. I love my daughter more than anything in the world and the thought of her being hurt almost brings me to tears! Even if I only had enough strength for one heal I’d have to use it on her without hesitation above anything else 🙂
At times I would love the power of reading someones mind, and if that wasn’t possible I would love to fly like a fairy!
My superpower would be to fly then I could beat all the traffic, get to places quicker and have even more time to do the things I really wanted to do.
I Facebook linked this comp for you too.
Love to be able to read minds( and know what people are REALLY thinking!)
I’d love to be able to be able to bake really fast so I could make food for people in other countries so theyd be no more poverty
