Tangled


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Naomi

This is such a delightful film. I had to see it again in 3D. The lantern scene HAS to be seen in 3D, it's just heart stopping. Hell, I started swelling up just anticipating it.

This time through looking closely at the animation the detail in the facial ticks and hands and eyes are incredible. A lot of the animation is cartoonish and stylised but there are definite moments that are so realistic you can forget it was made frame by frame by hand.

The music has also really grown on me in between viewings. I'm starting to recognise certain things that Alan Menken like to do, like establishing a phrase and then during a repeat, breaking it up before the resolve with some dialogue and then repeating it from the start, which makes the resolve of the phrase more satisfying and definitive as an end. I do like that.

Go see this in 3D while you still can. All the kids have gone back to school so you'll likely have the cinema to yourself. And unless you are a horribly embittered person you will leave feeling better than you did when you entered.
