I am a 55-year-old man and I love animated films. There. I said it. I have avoided this film since it came out in 2010 (and it's 2023 now), because I thought that it looked cutesie and hokey. Based on the recommendations of a few acquaintainces recently, though, I decided to give it a go. What a film!! Yes, it is a re-telling of the Rapunzel story but with its own flavour, so to speak. And it was genuinely funny!! Also, the songs were actually good! I usually hate singing in animated films, and sometimes Disney films can have the sappiest, schlockiest songs. But these were wonderful. The song "Mother Knows Best" is a combination of great lyrics, great singing, and great emoting on the part of the actress/vocalist who performed it. The song in the Cuddly Duckling was GREAT. And the duet between Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene was quite touching and lovely. So yes, you should watch this film. Right now.
