Le Mariage de Raiponce

I adored the original movie, and it ranks as one of my top five favorite Disney movie in recent years. I winced a little inside when I first read about this sequel, having seen how horribly Disney tends to handle sequels to beloved classics of old and new. I decided to check it out though since it would only be six minutes of my time, and I'm so glad I did.

The short managed to hold true to the characters from the original movie down to a t, and the graphics are beyond epic for a short cartoon. What I enjoyed most is that it's a great throw-back to the shorts of old, retaining a beginning, middle, and end, yet keeping the slap-stick and jokes enjoyable and just plain fun! The few nay-sayers who reviewed this seemed either too young to remember the old days when the likes of Looney Toons and Hanna-Barbera used to throw in a ripe morsel of entertainment to get us that much more in the mood for the main feature. Either that, or they simply don't grasp the concept of a fun short cartoon built solely for the entertainment value.

If you're one of the many who do remember those times though, or if you know just how to have a good laugh and enjoyed the original film, be sure to catch Tangled Ever After. You won't be disappointed!

Being a huge Tangled fan, I was really worried about the release of a sequel. I feared it would be cheesy and stupid, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Tangled Ever After. I loved it! It was so cute and made me laugh in several parts. Pascal and especially Max were hilarious as they ran around the kingdom trying to catch the wedding rings. If i had one minor complaint, it would be that Eugene made a couple selfish remarks. Since he turned a new leaf I thought he should appear to be kinder? Even though it was for a comedic effect, it bothered me for some reason... Overall this film is cute, funny, and a very satisfying ending to Tangled!

Before the 3-D version of Beauty and the Beast began, this short sequel to Tangled was shown depicting the wedding of the lead characters. Well, actually before that can happen the rings have to be presented. But before that, there are some vows to be said not to mention the "Dearly beloved..." part. It's during this part that those rings are accidentally dropped by the horse that's holding the pillow with those two pieces of jewelry and it's up to him and the frog that was with him to recover them before the "I dos". So it's during what I previously mentioned that the chase begins...This was very funny from beginning to end what with all the fast-paced gags that abounded. So that's a high recommendation for Tangled Ever After.

When Nathan Greno and Byron Howard (With the help of a cadre of Disney's finest) created the original Tangled, it was spectacular. I gave it a 10/10. Well, they've done it again. Pascal and Maximus all but stole the original film, and in 'Ever After' they are given a reprise that will satisfy every one of the 'sidekick-lovers' out there (myself included).

Clay Kaytis has called 'Ever After' zany. It is that, but more to the point, it's hilarious. You don't get go laugh out loud very often in the theater, and the fact that it takes less than ten minutes for Ever After to get you there is quite a statement. The 3D is (with one minor exception) not abused, as was the case in the first film, but rather totally immersive. I personally wanted more of Rapunzel and Flynn, but only for about thirty seconds. After that, it's Flynn's escape from the castle on steroids, plus Pascal for spice, and with a few scenes from Ratatouille thrown in. A feast fit for kings and queens of all ages.

Note to Disney: Lightning in a bottle is rare. Tangled it the hottest property you have. MAKE A SEQUEL!

Why are you still reading this and not drawing? GO!

Oh.. and to Nathan and Byron... Once could be a fluke. Twice is genius. Congratulations; Walt would be proud.

Tangled for me was the best Disney film in a long time, so I knew I wanted to see Tangled Ever After. And I loved it just as much as Tangled. It is beautifully animated, the sceneries are not as stunning as those of Tangled but they are still beautiful, it all looks very colourful and the characters are very well modelled. The music is suitably jaunty, the writing is delightfully witty with Eugene's dialogue at the start very amusing especially regarding his nose and the sight gags with Pascal and Maximus are hilarious, very couple-of-laughs-a-minute. The story is fast paced, cute and charming surrounding around Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding, and I loved the characters, Rapunzel is adorable and I liked that the Queen had a line to say. But the stars of the show are Eugene whose lines are wonderfully droll with his personality here sticking true to that of Tangled, and Maximus who proves that a character can steal the show without saying a word. Pascal is also very endearing and fun, though I found Maximus funnier. Overall, hilarious, perfect to go with the film. 10/10 Bethany Cox
