Tangled
Another family-oriented film, revolving around the fairy tale classic of Rapunzel, who is trapped in a tower away from civilisation by her step mother. Although the audience may be familiar with the fairy tale classic, the Disney recreation puts a unique spin on how the story is perceived and explores a story, where we question the stereotypical gender roles of the male hero and princess victim. Not only are audiences taken into a movie adaptation of the familiar story, but audiences are also taken beyond that to explore how it came to be and how it all ends, rather than just the story of a girl who is "rescued" by a knight in shining armour.
As a Disney film, it rises to the expectations of animation quality and plot. As an extension of the Disney Princesses, Rapunzel is an amazing addition to show independence as a young woman, as well as courage for viewers. Visually speaking, Disney has outdone itself with great detail in scenes where audiences are captivated by glowing lanterns and moonlit scenery. IMDb rates this film a 7.8/10 and Rotten Tomatoes rates this film a 7.5/10.
Through a modern twist of a fairy tale classic, this animation is a definite recommendation, although it may be targeted more towards the younger female audience, younger males will be pleased to see action and the diversity of characters within the film.
