subject: The Tangled Movie Story is the 50th Installment in the Disney Fairytale Classics Collection [print this page] Based on the fairy tale story of Jacob Grimm, the Tangled movie story follows the adventures of the two main characters, Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. The original story follows a more conservative story line of a childless couple that had to relinquish their child to an enchantress on account of some wrong incurred.
The enchantress then takes this child on her twelfth birthday and locks her in a high tower with neither door nor stairwell. But hold on, this lovely (and somewhat pithy) story does not seem consistent with Disney's new Tangled movie story!
The character of Rapunzel in this Disney remake of that timeless classic is more of a Charlie's Angels and Cinderella cross. Witty and quick on her feet, she uses her infinitely long hair as a weapon, tool you name it. She has this little pet chameleon sidekick (more like a dumb but equally funny version of Donkey in Shrek) that sweetens the various encounters she has.
Flynn on the other hand is reminiscent of Tulio and Miguel, the main characters in the hit animation Road to Eldorado. He also happens to be a prince, but rather a prince of thieves. Happy go lucky and a dare devil, Flynn is quick on his feet and as is usual in most animations, has an outlaw badge to boot.
The Tangled movie story then proceeds to blend in the usual villains and long lost royal heritage to create an exciting and absorbing modern fairytale story.
Taking its viewers on the enchanting classic story in 3D, the movie promises to keep up, if not top, the Disney animation legacy and this especially so because it marks Disney's 50th animation to date.
The movie features the voice talents of Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Zachary Levi as Flynn Rider and Dona Murphy as the insidious Mother Gothel. Directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, the movie is set for release on November 24th 2010 in 3D.
