(Read the full review...) 1,109 words, 11/26/10 Jake Coyle, Associated Press: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a sturdy, pleasant execution... contains all the familiar Disney hallmarks: song-and-dance numbers, amusing sidekicks and a frightfully cruel villain." (Read the full review...) 920 words, 11/22/10 Bradley Jacobs, Us Weekly: VERY GOOD (cg) "...gorgeously animated 3-D musical has heartfelt sequences..." (Read the full review...) 84 words, 11/25/10 Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: VERY GOOD (cg) "Not to worry, there's also a Disney den of big, comically dumb-looking bad guys who turn sweet when Rapunzel sings to them....

(Read the full review...) 164 words, 11/26/10 Claudia Puig, USA Today: VERY GOOD (cg) "...strands of traditional storytelling and a contemporary sensibility... stylish if predictable results." (Read the full review...) 470 words, 11/24/10 James Berardinelli, Reel Views: VERY GOOD (cg) "...some brands of storytelling never go out of style..." (Read the full review...) 890 words, 11/22/10
A.O.

(Read the full review...) 929 words, 11/24/10 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: EXCELLENT (cg) "...perfect for girls 5 to 8... as well as 'tweens who don't want unnecessary pop songs, meta-riffs or mega-explosions in every movie." (Read the full review...) 415 words, 11/24/10 Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: GOOD "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."

(Read the full review...) 316 words, 11/24/10 Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: VERY GOOD (cg) "Bright and engaging, and blessed with two superb non-verbal non-human sidekicks... reworks the Brothers Grimm tale clearly and well.

(Read the full review...) 760 words, 11/24/10 Josep Parera, La Opinion: VERY GOOD (cg) "...un entretenimiento ideal para toda la familia. Pero en ningún momento el espectador siente de nuevo la magia de estar ante un filme que sobrevivirá el paso del tiempo." (Read the full review...) 366 words, 11/24/10 Norman Wilner, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT (cg) "...fleet, fun and splendidly realized...

(Read the full review...) 477 words, 11/24/10 Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...a delightfully fresh spin on 'Rapunzel'... The visuals are gorgeous... the story bridges the gap between timeless and timely in a way that will please Disney fans of any age." (Read the full review...) 412 words, 11/24/10 Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...the filmmakers want to have it both ways -- to be sincere and to sneer.

(Read the full review...) 500 words, 11/24/10 Stephen Whitty, Cleveland Plain-Dealer: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...crammed full of the latest cartoon musts, including computer animation and, of course, eye-popping 3-D.

(Read the full review...) 564 words, 11/25/10 Tom Long, Detroit News: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...the best animated film from Disney in the past 15 years....

" (Read the full review...) 135 words, 11/25/10 Tasha Robinson, AV Club: EXCELLENT (cg) "...rambunctious, modern... the impressive draw of the animation still comes second to winning, nuanced characters and to well-developed characters and relationships." (Read the full review...) 447 words, 11/23/10 Christian Blauvelt, Slant: VERY GOOD (cg) "...a heartfelt rendering of a classic fairy tale, a deliberate rejection of the sarcastic, pop-culture-referencing smirkfests that constitute much of animation today."

(Read the full review...) 744 words, 11/24/10 MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher: EXCELLENT (cg) "...a deeply affecting journey... both unusual in its nature and grounded in the authority of folklore... slowly matures to a poignance that snuck up on me."
