Tangled: Before Ever After

Its unbelievable how this sequel was even approved to go in production. I am OK with low budget movies, I can even understand creators trying to save on CGI by creating animation that we used to see 20 years ago. But come on - script??!! I think it's been written in one weekend. And I doubt it was a long weekend. Completely toothless, zero humor. So beautifully animated Tangled with great dialogue that appealed to both kids and parents is turned into a forgettable princess movie for 6-7 year olds. Disappointed!

This animated film tells the story of princess Rapunzel who is going to be crowned. Due to her mishap, her long blonde hair grows back.

It tells a story of a merry misadventure, which leads to Rapunzel growing and learning about herself. The characters are visually pleasing and the plot is engaging. It is fun to watch.

Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) and Eugene (Zachary Levi) are back. They are back within the castle walls although she yearns for the wider world. She's being welcomed as a princess by her overprotective father King Frederic (Clancy Brown). Eugene proposes to Rapunzel and suddenly, she feels trapped. She sneaks out of the castle with her lady-in-waiting Cassandra and return to the power of the miracle flower.

The animation has the look of a children's book. It serves to launch Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. I thought right from the start that Rapunzel isn't Rapunzel without her hair. It's good to get it back for her and it has a nice twist. This is good Disney TV.

This mini-film is a great prequel to the Tangled series. I liked it a lot!

It is so lovely, although it is 2D. Everything from characters to action to backgrounds to story is perfect. You should put in on your watchlist. It's for kids, as well for the older fellows.
