Tangled only gets better and more involving as the filmmakers effortlessly blend the old-fashioned sensibilities of classic Disney with the brisk pace and emphasis on comedy that modern audiences have come to associate with the animation genre. It's also difficult to recall a computer-generated animated film that has so successfully managed to evoke the feel of hand-drawn animation without sacrificing the eye-popping visuals that CGI has become known for, which ensures that Tangled instantly joins the ranks of such beloved animation classics as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

For Tangled, the studio's 50th feature-length cartoon, the team at Disney has taken a deep breath and tried to be all things to all animation-loving people. There are some hiccups along the way, but by the end there is success.

Whether you like stirring adventure or sentimental romance, traditional fairy tales or stories of modern families, musicals or comedies, even blonds or brunets, Tangled has something for you. Sampling so many animation touchstones has its risks, but once Tangled calms down and accepts the essential sweetness of its better nature the rewards are clear.
