Tangled: Before Ever After

This animated film tells the story of princess Rapunzel who is going to be crowned. Due to her mishap, her long blonde hair grows back.

It tells a story of a merry misadventure, which leads to Rapunzel growing and learning about herself. The characters are visually pleasing and the plot is engaging. It is fun to watch.

Its unbelievable how this sequel was even approved to go in production. I am OK with low budget movies, I can even understand creators trying to save on CGI by creating animation that we used to see 20 years ago. But come on - script??!! I think it's been written in one weekend. And I doubt it was a long weekend. Completely toothless, zero humor. So beautifully animated Tangled with great dialogue that appealed to both kids and parents is turned into a forgettable princess movie for 6-7 year olds. Disappointed!

It is so lovely, although it is 2D. Everything from characters to action to backgrounds to story is perfect. You should put in on your watchlist. It's for kids, as well for the older fellows.

Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) and Eugene (Zachary Levi) are back. They are back within the castle walls although she yearns for the wider world. She's being welcomed as a princess by her overprotective father King Frederic (Clancy Brown). Eugene proposes to Rapunzel and suddenly, she feels trapped. She sneaks out of the castle with her lady-in-waiting Cassandra and return to the power of the miracle flower.

The animation has the look of a children's book. It serves to launch Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. I thought right from the start that Rapunzel isn't Rapunzel without her hair. It's good to get it back for her and it has a nice twist. This is good Disney TV.

It was unexpected for the 'Tnagled' fans. I'm one of them. Apart from the short film, they had forgotten about this potential animation franchise. It has been 7 years since the first film and now this television film suddenly made its way. It is an hour long film and a television series is to follow. That news is even more exciting, isn't it. I already saw a couple of episodes and it was equally brilliant. It is good for Disney channel after their top show 'Girl Meets World' concluded, this one is replaced it just like that.

This is not a 3D animation, but a product for television in this format is not bad. Because I've seen 3D format TV series and I feel the quality is yet to improve. In fact, the 2D animation was awesome. From the textures to the colours, film characters, backgrounds, it was impressive. Very happy that they have retained almost all the voice-over artists. The original tale means always about the long hair princess. They wanted to keep that way. So that's why this film before the series to commence which reveals an important detail.

I would say it is a breakthrough for the directors. From this success, I'm anticipating them to involve in a feature 3D animated film for Disney. Despite this triumph, I am hoping for a sequel to the 2010 film, particularly after the first season and before the second to commence to follow from that film. Anyway, this is short and sweet, a film not to be missed by animation fans, especially by Disney fans.
