Almost wholly ghastly bastardisation of Beatrix Potter's charming, gentle tales. Starts off with Peter Rabbit essentially killing Mr McGregor (not before contemplating sticking a carrot up his rectum) and goes on from there. 'Hilarious' jokes about Asbestos poisoning and anaphylactic shock ensue, plus a sight gag where Mrs Tiggy-Winkle walks into an electric fence.

Made all the more indefensible by a lovely fully-animated segment which completely captures the style of the original stories. Film-makers clearly not interested in that, though: not nearly 'contemporary' or 'irreverent' enough for them. Often resembles a mean-spirited parody of Beatrix Potter, twisted so it can make knowing jokes about rom-coms and so on. Very nearly completely horrible; scrapes one point for the animation sequence, another for Rose Byrne (what can I say, I'm sentimental).

Slightly oddball product of Disney's acquisition of Marvel - this started life as a comic book featuring characters from the X-Men - ends up as a typically witty and accomplished animation. Youthful genius has to form super-team to stop a supervillain from misusing one of his inventions.

Now, obviously if you're a purist, you can find things to complain about here - no mutant powers, no Silver Samurai, the whole thing is set in a science-fantasy future - but for everyone else this is an engaging, well-told story that comes close to matching The Incredibles when it comes to evoking the thrill and invention of classic superhero stories. Witty and imaginative; looks gorgeous; thoroughly enjoyable (though you have to wait until after the credits for the obligatory Stan Lee cameo).

Sorely Disappointed

I really wanted to enjoy this. I loved the stage show and adore the animation. From the onset this let me down. I hung on until the Prince Ali song, because if this couldn't be done right what could? Not only was a bit miffed at the fact that things were not in the order of the other 2 versions (both done by Disney so I don't understand why you would fix something that isn't broken), but the songs lacked something: flare, brightness, the thing that gives me the urge to sing and jig along. The was constant throughout the film, it seemed to lack colour (not actually colour but it seemed a bit dull). Sorely disappointed.

Different Tale: Mother Knows Best

Tangled- is a great and fantasic movie with good songs like.."When Will My Life Begin", "Mother Knows Best", "I've Got A Dream", "I See The Lignt", and "Healing Incantation".

The plot: Disney animation of a classic tale. Beautiful princess Rapunzel has been locked away in a tower since she was captured as a baby by an old hag. Her magical long blonde hair has the power to provide eternal youth, and the evil Gothel uses this power to keep her young. At the age of 18, Rapunzel becomes curious about the outside world, and when a prince uses her tower as a refuge, she asks him to help her escape.

It has action, adventure, lots of comedy, darkness, so basically a normal disney animated movie.
