So first of all thank you for start reading my article. I really wanted to share my opinion with DP fanpoppers.I don`t know about your opinion about Tangled but in my opinion i like it. It shows the real magic of talent etc. I am so happy that Disney brought one of my most favourite fairytales to alive.
Some people thinks Rapunzel is childish young short selfish but in my opinion she is strong, and talented.
Back to my opinion it is absolutely amazing!!! The music which was done by the talented Alan Menken and it was so beautiful. The movie is so cute. Nothing short of the best disney princess movie.And I love how Gothel (the villain) is so complex. And how funny and unconventional the "prince" was. I also loved the songs.It's the best animated movie in years. It's timing, the script, the music, everything is great They released a four-disc combo pack which includes a 3D Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copy. A two-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack and single DVD are also available. Bonus features include deleted scenes, two alternate opening sequences, and an inside look at how the film was made.
Though the film’s opening narration had me skeptical for a few minutes, I warmed up to this re-imagining of Rapunzel very quickly. Disney has had a long history of exceedingly well-done adaptations of classic fairy tales. Short bedtime stories become involved, delightful, and memorable adventures with lively characters and thoughtful execution. Tangled is no exception. What does the average person know of the Grimm brothers’ classic? A girl with long hair is trapped in a tower. But why? I don’t think many would remember. But Disney starts it off right — the “why” comes first; the “girl with long hair” comes later. And I found myself somewhat surprised at the end of Tangled’s dramatic introduction. We have a princess, a villain, and a hero, but their relationships with one another felt fresh and unique, at least in the context of the story of Rapunzel.

In retrospect, the mother-daughter relationship Mother Gothel imposes on Rapunzel should not have been surprising — evil stepmothers is as old a tradition as princesses — but that Rapunzel did not resent her from the very beginning gave it a dimension it might not have otherwise had. Rapunzel believes that Gothel keeps her in the tower for her own benefit and safety and that her desire to escape the tower is selfish. More than anything else, this makes Rapunzel easy to relate to. She has glorious, magical hair, and she is a princess stolen from her kingdom… but she is normal and vulnerable and human because she loves who she knows to be her mother and doesn’t want to break her heart by disobeying.

Gothel’s own selfish intentions are made obvious to the audience from the start, and as the movie progresses, she has some fantastic one-liners to really drive in that point. In songs like “Mother Knows Best” especially (yes, this is a musical), she phrases acceptably protective sentiments in rather devious and sinister ways. That Rapunzel cannot see through the witch’s words sets the stage for an eventual, powerful reveal, but in the meantime, the tension and dramatic irony is great!

Flynn Rider is the humorous antihero and reminded me a little of Aladdin. A manipulative thief, he is nonetheless good-willed and likable… in part due to his blatant willingness to facilitate jabs at the fourth wall. Despite his less-than-heroic origins though, Flynn’s personality does not stray far from the role he needed to fill, and his overwhelming good makes it difficult to doubt his motives, even when they’re called into question. Still, his interaction with the other characters are great and make for some hilarious exchanges. Rapunzel saves him just as many times as he saves her, and the conflicts he has with both Maximus the horse and Pascal the chameleon lead to the best laughs of the movie. Flynn is your typical bad boy gone good, but the archetype is handled well, and Tangled certainly benefits from it.

The supporting cast, especially aforementioned animals, is great. Really, there isn’t much to say beyond that. They are awesome, hilarious, and have very endearing personalities. Perfect for animal mascots! …Or crazy, intimidating, manly thieves hiding out in the forest! They were kind of cute too.

All of the technical aspects of the movie are excellent. The animation was smooth and lively, and it certainly proves that great movies exist in both new and old techniques and technology. The way Rapunzel’s hair was handled in general was a lot of fun to see, considering the huge challenge it must have been. Yes, it came in variable lengths depending on the practicality of the scene, but still! It was a real treat to watch it flow and move and glow. I did not watch the movie in 3D, but I have actually heard good reports about it. I suppose it’s inevitable that the 3D trend work its way up to something worthy of paying a few extra bucks for though.

Disney’s vocal talents are always top notch, and here, Mandy Moore (Rapunzel), Donna Murphy (Mother Gothel), and Zachary Levi (Flynn Rider) do not disappoint. The guy who does all of Maximus’s horse neighs and grunts should also get top honors — they were wonderfully expressive and conveyed the character’s sentiments exactly. The songs are charming, fit with the flow of their scenes, as well as the dialogue they’re bookended with and Alan Menken’s score.

“When Will My Life Begin” is basic introductory fare, but does well to set the stage for the rest of the movie, and Moore does a great job sharing the emotion and hopes of Rapunzel. “Mother Knows Best” is creepy and conniving in the best sort of way. “I’ve Got a Dream” is chorused by some of the most amusing minor characters and set in a really fun scene in general — a little like Mulan’s “A Girl I’m Fighting For.” …And “I See The Light” is beautiful, both musically and visually — it’s one of the most gorgeous scenes in the entire movie, and something Rapunzel has made the audience emotionally invested in wanting to see. (Also, I am a sucker for pretty duets.)

As the story progresses into the late game, Tangled conforms more with fairy tale sensibilities. The characters fall in love (in a day). The villain reveals herself. The hero is tasked with rescuing the maiden. It’s a children’s movie after all, and Rapunzel is a fairy tale. But by then, you have long since become attached to the characters, and it didn’t really matter that things became a little predictable. It helps that the execution doesn’t slack off at all — the emotional tension leading up to the final confrontation is great and wonderfully dramatic. Even knowing that it will turn out all right by virtue of being a Disney movie, there is a moment where you really do worry.

Overall, Tangled is a very fun movie and I highly recommend it to everyone. It’s something both adults and kids can enjoy. The story has all of the great quirks that make Disney fairy tales unique, and the characters are engaging in ways that make you really want them to succeed. I was pleasantly surprised, especially after last year’s Princess and the Frog was only “okay.” It is entertaining and moving in a way I haven’t seen from a Disney movie in a while, and only the outrageous ticket price of movies these days deters me from seeing it again in theatres.

Oh and I'm not new... this was just my first list... I was at Hiatuslandia!




So I dedcided to not rush this time and get straight to the point since the whole entire town got rouge on me... I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Put more words! You have horrible reasons!" says random female fanpop member.

"Never!" says the beautiful me... I sweep kick which drops the female popper on the ground.


"We'll kill the frog..."


So I was forced to make it more descriptive.

Well, it's about time I made part 2 of this article. Anyways, please keep in mind that this is my opinion, and we may disagree, so respect my opinion and I'll respect yours.

Enjoy the article!




Healing Incarnation
Even though it's quite short and basically sounds different every time Rapunzel sings it, I still included it, because there's ONLY 2 other songs, and one of them is a reprise! (I also included one other song too, we'll get to it later.) Anyways, I really like this song. It shows a nice soft side to Rapunzel's voice, which I like. Its a really sweet and charming song overall, but...

"So, would you mind explaining more?" Rapunzel asked Merida.

"There isn't much more to say. They won't find us, don't worry."

Don't worry? Did she sense that I was worried?


Merida sat down.

"So, old friend."

"So, um, what? I don't really have anything to say."

Merida smiled at Rapunzel for a second, like her was about to laugh.



Then she turned away.


Rapunzel tapped Merida's shoulder.


"Get your hand off of me!" Merida exclaimed.


Rapunzel fell over, extremely alarmed.


"I'm, I'm sorry." Merida said.


"It's.. Okay." Rapunzel responded.


They heard a noise.


"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?! RUN!" Merida exclaimed....

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in
Heaven knows I try

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let it...

It's been a while since I last wrote a fan fiction so I decided to try again with two fan fictions, this one is called the Ordinary Princesses and the other one will be called The Special Girls

This is what The Ordinary Princesses is about:
11 girls from our world are taken to 11 different kingdoms to become raised by royal parents because their own parents can't take care of them. None of the princesses knows that they're from the real world, but they know that they act weird since people looks at them in a weird way

You'll learn the rest of the story as I write more, but anyway hope you'll enjoy...

"WHAT?" Jasmine shoots up from the chair she was sitting in.
The girls all stare at Philip, then as what he said begins to sink in, they all get thrown into a frenzy.
"Stop! Stop! Stop" Belle had to shout several times before she can make herself heard "This is no time to panic, we have to figure out what's going on!"
"Yes," Pocahontas agreed "Tell us more, Philip."
"We were packing our bags, and I went out of the room to get something. When I came back, Aurora was gone!" Philip said.
"Um, is there a clue to where she could've gone?" Rapunzel asked.
"Have ye thought about the possiblity that she...

Chapter 10

The school Principal, who was about to pack his papers for the day, was surprised to see Ariel and three children walking up to his desk. Seeing that they have to tell him something important, he kindly allowed them seats (and lollipops for the children). When Ariel and the kids detailed him about many episodes of bullies mocking Melody, his face was filled with compassion and sympathy. The kids gave him the names of the bullies he requested so he can call their parents.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure that you won't shed another tear," he said to Melody.

"Thanks, sir," said Melody, softly...

Chapter 4

After Ariel waved goodbye to Eric and Melody, she carefully crossed the street to meet up with her brother. Her sandy-colored haired brothers was holding a carton of milk that he bought from the Deli.

"Ariel, what was going on? Who was that man you were talking to?" Flounder asked.

"I was trying to save his daughter," Ariel explained.

"Really?" Flounder asked.

"It's a long story," said Ariel. As they walk away from the Deli, Ariel told Flounder the details of the story such as saving Melody, standing up to Eric, and a dinner with them. When she finished, Flounder was amazed. That was a...

Call me Anne. I wouldn't say my age because you would be embarrassed but think older then Elsa. I loved the 90s princess (Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, and Mulan) since I identify with them a lot. When I was in elementary&High school I did get bullied but that's a long time ago now. I love some of the articles I have read here on this site specifically the ones arguing about Cinderella not waiting around for a Prince to save her. Did you know that it took from the 1800s to the 1912 before Snow White's and Cinderella's respective stories overlapped? And in the 1913 some guy who had the last name Powers who would later help Disney with Steamboat Willie made his own film version of Snow White and borrowed the True Love Kiss from either Grimms' Briar Rose or Perrault's Beauty in the Woods.
She's the perfect Ariel! (ESPECIALLY in personality)
She's the perfect Ariel! (ESPECIALLY in personality)
Since I've been a fan of this club, I never had been keen on Ariel even though she has a magical movie and she's the only mermaid in the lore. However, The live version of the cartoon that came out in September, 2023 changed everything. But also, keep in mind that I changed and my opinions also have. I have to make up a new list of my fav princesses because god- ITS ALL MIXED UP AGAIN! Also, I remember arguing about Ariel's appearance with wavesurf in this club and I told him/her that she was pretty ugly, while my opinions are switched. I love her huge eyes and bright red hair more than ever...
