Tangled (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Description

Disney presents a new twist on one of the most hilarious
and hair-raising tales ever told. Your whole family will get tangled up in the
fun, excitement and adventure of this magical motion picture. When the
kingdom’s most wanted – and most charming – bandit Flynn Rider hides in a
mysterious tower, the last thing he expects to find is Rapunzel, a spirited
teen with an unlikely superpower – 70 feet of magical golden hair! Together,
the unlikely duo sets off on a fantastic journey filled with surprising
heroes, laughter and suspense. Let your hair down and get ready to cheer for
“Tangled.” Bursting with never-before-seen bonus features, it’s even more
enchanting on Blu-ray Hi-Def. Set Contains: Once the viewer navigates the
uncooperative menus, there are a number of special features, some more
interesting than others. Directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard introduce
three deleted scenes. One is set at the Jaunty Moose tavern, a sort of 18th-
century biker bar that was replaced by the sequence at the Snugly Duckling
pub. Without the upbeat “I’ve Got a Dream” song to propel it, the sequence
plods and does little to advance the story. The directors were wise to remove
a silly interlude with a fortunetelling monkey dressed like Johnny Carson’s
old Karnak character. It’s difficult to judge how effective either of the two
versions of a traditional storybook opening would have been, as the storyboard
drawings are very simple. If the finished artwork had the visual impact of
Eyvind Earle’s illuminated manuscript pages in Sleeping Beauty, the sequence
might have been stunning. But both versions feel overly long and needlessly
talky. Two features stress that Tangled is the Disney Studio’s 50th animated
feature–although they arrive at that figure by omitting the animation/live-
action combinations Victory Through Air Power and Song of the South (but not
The Reluctant Dragon or Dinosaur). Voice actors Mandy Moore (Rapunzel) and
Zachary Levi (Flynn) try to convince the audience they’re having fun
presenting trivia and brief behind-the-scenes peeks, but the audience is more
aware of how hard they’re working than how much fun anyone’s having. The story
of how Tangled reached its final form after nearly 10 years in development and
production would have been more interesting. –Charles Solomon
