And the latter is really what Tangled is all about. as the humor in that film may have seemed, it was about a person learning to grow up and consider others rather than himself, instead of a girl setting out to make her dreams come true.

There was no damsel in distress or a dashing young hero in Emperor's New Groove the film centered on a self-absorbed emperor boy who was turned into a llama and sets out on a quest to get changed back. However (and that's a big "however), what Tangled is that Emperor's wasn't. Unfortunately, it tanked at the box office and it is an often-forgotten Disney film, so it's surprising to see some similar touches from that film applied to Tangled. That film was entirely random and off-the-wall, feeling more like a Looney Tunes adventure than something Disney would be involved with.

The film opens with narration from the male hero of the film, Flynn Rider (voiced by Zachary Levi, known for the title character in the TV show Chuck), with a sarcastic and random wit about him that probably was last heard in a Disney film in 2000's The Emperor's New Groove (also still probably my favorite non-Pixar Disney animated film).

After viewing it, as someone who especially enjoys movies on the big screen, I feel somewhat cheated by the underwhelming previews. The ads seemed marketed towards teenage girls (despite the fact that the film was renamed from Rapunzel to Tangled as to not alienate the male audience!), and it made this movie watcher much less interested in the film. I thought the animation looked great, but it was really difficult to get a fix on what the tone of a film like this was going to be. My first impressions of Tangled were almost entirely negative after seeing less than thrilling trailers for the film. From the hair on Rapunzel's and Flynn Rider's heads to the jaw-dropping realism of rushing water during an action sequence, this is an incredibly animated film, and one Disney can truly be proud of. After watching Tangled, I feel it's safe to state that this is probably the best-looking non-Pixar animated Disney film to date. However, it carries with it a look and feel that is faithful to the classic Disney style, all while offering the gorgeous visuals and animation techniques that can only be delivered through the means of a computer. Unlike the aforementioned hand-drawn classics, Tangled is a fully CG-animated film. And while most of those princess stories (which, incidentally are named for the title character) have featured heroic male figures, Rapunzel's Disney venture, Tangled, is almost as much about the leading lady's rescuer as it is about her. Traditionally, this sheltered little blonde lady isn't a princess, but an updated, Disney-ized version of the classic fairytale molds the character to fit into the Disney world (no pun intended there). In 2010, Disney brought a new kind of princess to the big screen - Rapunzel.
