sienamysticIn keeping with my policy of seeing movies ages after everyone else already has, I just watched Tangled - thanks, Netflix, it's been a while since I last saw your lovely red envelopes in my mailbox.
It was absolutely delightful, quickly paced, lots of fun physical comedy and screwball daffyness. Flynn Ryder was a touch underdeveloped, but Rapunzel was lovely, lovely, lovely, and her relationship with Mother Gothel so marvelously complicated emotionally.I wish I could have seen the lantern scene on a better screen than our tiny, crappy tv, because it was gorgeous.And as is my standard procedure with Disney movies, I leaked tears the whole way through out of some sort of overstimulated happiness at all the pretty.
Of course, Maximus was my favorite. And Paschal was a non-irritating Disney sidekick animal. I still regret stupid Mooshu doing his best to wreck the otherwise awesome Mulan.
Anyway, it was a great little movie. I hope The Bear and The Bow is good - I've fallen in love with the artwork from it already.

However they spelled it), and the gargoyles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and uh basically 95% of all animal sidekicks ever. (I do not count the Little Mermaid, because they were such a vast proportion of the speaking characters, but one could fairly do so anyway. I imprinted on that movie too young to mind.)
