I must say first, I have no idea how the original story of Rapunzel goes!
I know that Rapunzel is a girl in a tower with long blond hair, but that's it.
I never read the story, and after seeing the movie, I still haven't looked it up.
So I don't know if this movie is kind of close to the original fairy tail?
I saw this last Tuesday for the first time.
It was released about 3-4 weeks ago in Belgium, and I didn't wanna buy it at first, 'cause I didn't knew anything about it, apart from Mandy Moore being Rapunzel.
And Mandy Moore, I know from years and years ago, when she had this 1-hit-single in Belgium too, lol.
I know the series "Chuck", but never knew it was Zachary Levi.
Anyways ...
I didn't knew Alan Menken was part of it o_O
The story is great, funny and emotional.
I had some good laughs with it, which I didn't think I'd had.
I'm not afraid to say, I actually cried with the scene where Rider cuts off Rapunzel's hair, and he dies
That was just so beautiful.
Off course, Disney wouldn't be Disney, if he wouldn't come back to life somehow, hehe.
All characters once again are amazing, and the voice cast is awesome!
Mother Gothel, to me is an excellant villain, just love her voice.
And Pascal ...
Funny little dude
The songs ...
"When will my life begin" and "I see the light" are my new favorites at the moment.
Listening to the songs, it has Alan Menken all over it.
All the songs on the Tangled-album remind me a lot of "Aladdin", "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid".
