This film follows the story of Rapunzel (loosely inspired from the story Rapunzel written in Grimm's Fairy Tales). Rapunzel see's an opportunity to live her dream of seeing the floating lights on her 18th birthday (as the floating lights only appear on that day;her birthday, every year).  Rapunzel asks her mother, Gothel, who refuses to let her leave the tower. With the sudden appearance of Flynn Rider, as he was trying to escape the authorities horse (Maximus) with the royal crown, Rapunzel makes a choice. She makes an agreement with Rider that if he escorts her into the city to see the floating lights she will return the royal crown to him. Rider reluctantly agrees, and the two set out on an a wild adventure. 


This film marked the 50th film to be created by Disney studios, and was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard. The two have worked together on previous projects. This film has a great moving story line that harkens back to the old Disney princess films (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White). It being reminiscent of those films follows the very general premise of such films. The story line was also very loosely based off the Grimm's fairy tale, as appears commonly in other of disney's animated films. It is also filled with the characters singing their emotions. The song are good adding to the story, but there is one cheesy song. The sound was good for the voice actors, expect for a slight echo that occurred slightly too often. The computer generated graphics were amazingly well done. Several of the scene's were breath taking to watch. The film was focused for a general teenage audience. It came off as slightly too teenage, but it was still a great film to watch. 


There are awesome characters that are entertaining to watch. The voice acting is well done. Although, it was surprising how many characters actually spoke in the film. Mandy Moore did the voice for the leading character Rapunzel. She creates a naive character that is willing to venture out to see a new world. She portrays the character as too much like a young teenager. It works for the basic premise of the film. Zachary Levi did the voice acting for Flynn Rider. Levi is great in this role of a thief, and is the main voice for telling the story. He was a great choice for leading the story, because he adds a lot of humour to the story. Donna Murphy voice the character Mother Gothel, or Rapunzel's mother. She was an amazing voice actress for this character. She really gave her that villainy aspect that hasn't been seen since the evil step-mother. I also want to add that the Short Thug, voiced by Paul F. Tompkins, was kind of creepy.


I give this an 9 out of 10 stars! It has a great story that reminds audiences of the old classic Disney princess films. However, it was geared more towards to a teenage audience, and it showed. Visually the film is amazing, and fun to watch. 


Answer to last blog: Joss Whedon produced the shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Angel, but it was Buffy the Vampire Slayer that established his status. 


Que: What video game did Zachary Levi voice act in?


Gears if War 3
Fallout: New Vegas
Halo 3
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
