How about Dances With a Pocahontas Avatar on a Dune in Fern Gully??

Oh, I love FernGully so much.

Okay, we saw it finally this weekend. I hate to say it but I wasn't a fan. Maybe I had higher expectations after "The Princess and the Frog" or maybe I just wish they'd return to handdrawn animation, but Tangled felt like a giant leap backward to me. Sadness. It was fun in parts, but not enough parts, and a lot of it was just a big mess.

Btw, since when did the state of Arizona become annexed to Bavarian Europe? (watch the movie and you'll know what I mean)

Was the music good? One of my piano students just saw it and was raving about the music ~ in fact she told her parents all she wants for Christmas is Tangled stuff...cd, drawing book, etc...

The music was very good, but Abaeja commented that the film didn't seem to trust the music. Several of the songs were shortened, and the reprise of "Mother knows best" was just spoken, not sung, despite the fact that Donna Murphy has an amazing voice.

Momeja, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it... and I'm totally shocked. Was it a bad theater? Was it not in 3D? Were there a lot of noisy kids distracting you?
I gotta say, we saw it the other day and I was totally blown away. The 3D was incredible... as was the overall artistry... especially the "lanterns on the lake" scene where they're singing together in the boat. Simply beautiful in every way. The three main characters (Rapunzel, Flynn, and Mother Gothel) were very well done and quite believable... even Mother Gothel was made to look beautiful and somewhat sincere in her own way; a first for villainesses in Disney's history, I would say. And yes, the music was perfect! I'd have to say that the whole thing was almost revolutionary for Disney... a whole new direction in a good way.
Y'all, don't wait for it to come out on video... you gotta see it in 3D on the big screen.

M-Dude, I can't decide if my expectations were raised too high after Princess and the Frog (which was fantastic) or if the lack of continuity just really got to me. Or both.

Midway through the mine surfing tidal wave sequence, I turned to Abaeja and said, "Since when was BTMRR moved to the heart of Bavarian Germany?" Ymmv, but stuff like that always bugs me because it shows sloppiness and laziness on the part of the screenwriters. And I expect better than sloppy from Disney.

Hmmmm.... you make some good points, and I can certainly see where you're coming from. But I loved Tangled anyway.

By the way, what does "Ymmv" mean...?

Does Ymmv really mean that mindflipper?!

I have to agree with M-Dude on this one (you are really cool momeja). I left the theater after seeing Tangled and was VERY impressed. I even sent him a text saying that I was really happy with it. I can't remember the last Disney movie that made me do that. I didn't see it in 3-D or IMAX, but it was very enjoyable just the same. I was prepared for DisneyShrek and disappointment... instead I got a very entertaining story. I can't wait for the Blu-Ray release of this one.

We finally got to see Tangled today...albeit, not in 3D

But it was the only theatre still playing it in our neck of the woods. I have to agree with the boys on this one. I loved it! As much as I truly enjoy Princess and the Frog, the first time we saw it, I was kind of on the fence about it. The music was great, and nothing beats a hand-drawn film, but there were a few things that I had been iffy about.
Tangled, on the other hand, I thought was a cute story, and like M-Dude said, the villainess was almost as likeable and believable as the protagonist. I loved the music and the lantern scene was my fave! (I wish we could have seen it in 3D

)

I have to say though, the dam scene made me totally think about BTMRR and I pray that there are NO ideas to "Tangled-ize" the attraction...

AHHHH! Perish the thought!

I haven't seen Tangled yet but I agree, we don't really need any more movie-plussing of attractions
