It's coming out this Wednesday. It was originally entitled Rapunzel: Unbraided, or something like that, until Walt Disney Pictures decided to change it to a more gender-neutral title in hopes of appealing to boys and girls.

I'm hoping to go see it. My mom said that my little sister was wanting to see it too, so maybe I can go with my mom and sister to see it in theaters.

Coincidentally, ABCFamily is showing Beauty and the Beast that evening, so I can't wait to catch that as well. :)

EDIT:

Even though it hasn't officially been released yet, it's already been reviewed on RottenTomatoes, and it currently has a 100% rating based on nine reviews.

I am really excited about Tangled because of my Disney animation special interest. It's the first 3D computer animation to really have the classic Disney look, so I think it might be the most effective use of the genre yet.

Normally I'm not too keen on CGI animated films (I really miss the 2D films of my childhood), but Tangled actually looks pretty good. I might go see it with one of my friends.

I have three kids, so most likely I will go see it... but I actually want to see it myself! I feel like a minority in that I do like computer animation, but of course like any animation, there's standards. A lousy plot in 3-D would be lousy in 2-D or live action. Crummy animation happens in all styles. And this one looks particularly slick and well-done as far as the visuals go, and the plot... not actually sure what it is at this point! Looks like they've pulled a Princess and the Frog here and that was pretty good. My husband said they laid on the "New Orleans" a little thick (I think he thought they were jumping on the bandwagon what with New Orleans struggling to get back to business as usual) but there really is no way to set it in New Orleans and not lay it on thick. But I digress.

It looks good, yes.

The animation for the film is based on the 18th-century painting entitled The Swing (<-Link), which I think is a very lovely piece of art.

Rapunzel the character is very lovely and well-animated. I wish they'd have stuck with the original title, though. "Tangled" just sounds a little silly to me. Either way, I really hope that the film does well. So far, it seems to be doing well with critics (it's holding an 88% approval rating as we speak).

A lot of my friends already hate Tangled just because it's in 3-D instead of 2-D like The Princess and the Frog. And while I would've like to have seen it in 2-D, I still want to see it because I believe that story is what counts. And seeing as how it's gotten good reviews so far, I don't think I'll be disappointed.

I want to see it but only because of Pascal, Rapunzel's cute little veiled chameleon.

I'm familiar with the painting but it's hard to imagine a whole film animated based upon a Fragonard. Now I'll just have to see it for myself to see how the foamy trees worked out in 3-D.

I don't blame you. I'd really like to see Harry Potter. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be able to see both. :)

I saw it last night. It was a cute and harmless movie. ^.^

Harry Potter was also very good. Go to see it if you can. :D

I finally saw Tangled today! I went to see it with my mom, my ten-year-old sister, and ten-year-old male cousin, all of whom enjoyed it as well.

I really enjoyed the film. The soundtrack was really good. I especially loved the song I See The Light.

I highly recommend this movie to everybody who has yet to see it.

I wish they'd kept the parts about her getting pregnant and the guy getting his eyes scratched out by thorns.
I'll still see it though because I'm a fairy tale/comparative mythology weirdo.

You honestly think Disney would have done that? :roll:
