Check out www.mountcg.com where i write down my thoughts and opinions on the industry!
I wanted to write this entry a long time ago, but kinda forgot about it over time. But yesterday it came up when i was talking to a friend on skype.
Tangled goes hand in hand with all the other films ive already listed. It is simply beautiful, with a nice well told story, cool characters and it has written Glen Keane all over it. I cant imagine how amazing it must have been to work with glen on this one. I just recently also saw Tangled ever after and its such a nice addition to the movie. It also was like a get together with old friends :-)
My favourite part in this movie are the two sequences when Rapunzel and Flynn are coming to the castle. First there is this AMAZINGLY MAGICAL dance sequence, followed by the lanterns. What moves so much here, is the pictures combined with the amazing music.
In this part it doesnt even bother me that they have to break into song again because it somehow just fits right in.
To go a bit into depth... There is also some pretty darn awesome animation to see, specially in the lantern sequence. For example when Rapunzel sees the first lantern. Gets up and "stumbles" over the boat... If you just look at the technical side of this its already amazing and how it turned out is even cooler. The next one is following the moment when rapunzel turns around and sees flynn holding those two lanterns... The way she sits down... its not just sitting down... there is so much character in it. She is about to give the diadem to flynn... and just by the way how she sits down, how much this moment means to her. Its not just giving it to him... she shows her trust for him... its so beautiful...
Some people might say its too cheesy, but in my opinion they really found the balance here... i dont think its cheesy at all... (ok, maybe the singing a bit... but well... its disney...)
To me the group hug and falling on their knees all together at the end was much cheesier and a bit too much for me...
Anyways... I love this film... and here are the two sequences i was talking about.
