Anything would be better than this…right? A monkey could write a better story than this Brothers Grimm garbage. They’ve created something entirely different that just happens to include Rapunzel. Judging by scant synopses and descriptions of Tangled, Disney is all too aware of the issue. When the most exciting thing you can recall about a story is how long the hair was, you know you’re in trouble. The only thing people remember about this abysmal work is Rapunzel’s long hair hanging haphazardly out the tower window. Baby grows up to be a disgustingly innocent teenage girl. The original yarn bares all the usual fantasy cliches of the day: evil witch curses baby at birth. Originally scribed by the Brothers Grimm, they phoned it in between better stories like Hansel & Gretel and Rumpelstiltskin. You ask, why didn’t Disney stumble upon Rapunzel earlier? Simple. It’s a story about Rapunzel, a hapless young gal who sits in a tower and brushes her impossibly long hair. No, it’s not a heartwarming tale about shoe laces or Christmas lights devising a way out of ties and knots. Later this year (November, 2010), Disney Studios will be releasing their 50th official animated feature entitled Tangled. Obligatory Pink Vehicle: A pink dragon, a purple dragon, and in the final reel, a pink horse carriage.
