REVIEWSTangledVue & Odeon George Street from Fri 29 Jan

Tangled is Disney’s 50th animatedfeature, and it’s a corker. A retelling of the Rapunzel story and packed with humour and action, it deserves to be a big hit. From the writer-directors of Bolt, it looks brilliant, literally. Colours drip from the screen whether you see it in 2 or 3D.
Rapunzel, kidnapped as a child, is brought up by a wicked witch who passes herself off as Rapunzel’s mother. Locked in a high tower, she’s a valuable prize: Rapunzel’s hair has the magical power to heal and restore youth. Longing to see to world outside, Rapunzel seizes the chance when a fleeing bandit, Flynn Rider, hides out in the tower.
Changing the title from Rapunzel to Tangled, Disney got round the fear that boys wouldn’t see a film about a girl with long hair. And the added action and quirky characters – including a funny, ill-tempered horse and an ear-licking, fist-thumping chameleon – add to the sense of fun for all ages.
Produced by an impressive roster of Disney-Pixar talents – including John Lasseter (Monsters Inc, Toy Story 1-2) and Glen Keane (supervising animator for Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin) Tangled has a great pedigree and it shows. The film gleams throughout.
Scenes have been designed simply to show off the stunning animation. Sky lanterns over a lake and Rapunzel’s leap from the tower are gorgeously rendered. And the songs (including When Will My Life Begin and Mother Knows Best) are both funny and hummable. Not surprising, given that Mencken also did the music for Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and Enchanted.
Burly baddies, chases, quips and quirky swordfights keep the pace moving and a modern sense of smart irony prevent Tangled seeming like a Disney throwback to earlier times. Flynn, fending off his sword-wielding horse with only a frying pan, calls out “This is the strangest thing I’ve ever done!”.
The voice-cast, led by relative newcomers, brings a great sense of fun - especially Zachery Levi as Flynn. But the teen-princess heroine and the sparky adventurer hero will appeal to all ages, continuing Disney-Pixar’s smart move of pitching their films to the widest possible audience, not just tots and tweenies.
Possibly the best fun you’ll have in the cinema this year and certainly one of 2011’s most beautiful movies, Tangled is quality entertainment. Let your hair down and see it.

After a lovely welcome by Front of House (led by Angela Peel) the show began with the storyteller (Charlie Wilson) peeping out of a tree. He set the scene and told us of the folk of Higgeldy Piggeldy (the chorus complete with snouts and curly tails). A lively opening dance filled the stage with singing pigs, telling of the Big Bad Wolf who kept blowing down the straw house of the 3 main pigs - well played with three individual characters by Aaron Oke, Charlie Watson and Phil Weller.
Enter the Big Bad Wolf. Sam Mansfield managed to terrorise the pigs but endear himself to the audience, body language and roaring voice convincing us he really was a Wolf. Lamby (Sarah Duke) was the sexiest lamb I’ve ever seen, with a lovely singing voice too. Little Bo-Peep (Francesca Rose) looked so sweet with the little lambs she kept losing. Hansel and Gretel, (Chris Brandish and Becca Penfold) were given German accents by Joe Graham - an inspired idea which helped their bouncy characterisation. The three Witches (Pat Giles, Louise Cobb and Angie Stevens) had completely different characters, all very strong; they were joined enthusiastically by a bevy of singing chorus witches.
Peter Press Pig (Harry Quinn) added a touch of humour throughout. Katie Mansfield made a great Red Riding Hood and handled Hazel the Squirrel very well with a Liverpudlian accent. A well-drilled chorus sang out lustily – we could hear most of the words.
A large set with piggy houses and trees in the forest were most effective, but the deep blue curtain used while scene changes were taking place seemed odd in contrast to the rest of the brightly painted sets.
The wardrobe was a treat (wardrobe manager Jo Purves and her team), there were good lighting and sound effects and lots of audience participation (although I would have liked a few more gags). The musicians, led by MD Alan Cobb, were great; indeed, the whole pantomime was presented in a slick, well-rehearsed way which the audience thoroughly enjoyed. Director and writer Joe Graham must be very happy.
