Raiponce: Moi, j'ai un rêve

This mini-film is a great prequel to the Tangled series. I liked it a lot!

This pilot film expands on a lot of things, such as Rapunzel's new relationship with her parents and her evolving relationship with Eugene.

King Frederic (Clancy Brown) is not much different from Mother Gothel, but his love for Rapunzel is genuine. Brown is pretty much a perfect casting choice for the King.

The pilot and the series are also the first time I actually like Eugene. I didn't love him in the film. I thought he was just a pretty boy and one of those male Disney characters who teaches the female about the world. In the series, he's shown to be a good boyfriend to Rapunzel, one who supports her even after her hair grows back. He's pretty similar to Aladdin in this respect.

Cassandra is a great new character and has a lot of funny lines. For all of her problems, she makes me laugh.

At first I thought that Rapunzel's hair growing back was kind of a gimmick, but it turns out there's a mystery behind it which sets up the overarching story of the series.

The animation is great. It's even better looking than the film, with bolder colours and simpler character designs. I never get tired of watching this pilot film.

Some of the character designs I don't love so much, like the rat-faced guy.

Anyway, it's a very enjoyable pilot film for a great series.

I saw some bad reviews on this earlier so figured i would weigh in

The only thing I did not like like about it was the formulaic singing that Disney seems to do with all their stuff, I believe Disney has some kind of computer program, and anyone who sings, especially women, must adhere to this voice to within 95%, so we always get nice sounding voices with very little range. But no highs or lows, the same sounding voice over and over.

I did not detect any sort of lesbian thing here, the relationship between daughter and Father is strongly emphasized

The animation is weak and will probably be dinged as low budget, but its serviceable

It comes across as a movie targeting girls between K-10 grades, but my wife and i enjoyed it, which is saying something since both of us often avoid Disney, their stuff is pretty redundant

Hopefully the upcoming episodes will be as enjoyable

It could be the start of a lifetime of happiness for Rapunzel, but things aren't exactly going as she dreamed. As Eugene quickly adjusts to his new life of luxury at court, for Rapunzel, life as a princess in the Kingdom of Corona is proving to be more complicated than she anticipated. Overwhelmed by new responsibilities, Rapunzel and her friend and nurse Cassandra set off on a night of freedom in which Rapunzel's blonde hair grows back. Can she accept all that this represents?

That square graphic and less charismatic and charming than the original, focusing on the script, simple, continuous (with its antecedents), musical in measure, a message of female freedom (attempted) giving rise to a continuation... The after "Happily Ever After", just as not every woman was born to be a mother, not every heir was born to be a monarch...

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.
