  • Tangled the Movie - what age is appropriate?

    Just checking out what ages would enjoy this movie, and what other parents think about it. Not all disney movies are really appropriate for younger children, despite their marketing of the films.

Hi, We took our grandson to it and he is 4. The only part he had a hard time with was when the "witch" who was pretending to be the mom died. That bothered him. He didn't get it that it wasn't really the "mom". He wanted to know what happened to her. We said she turned into dust and that she was not the mom.He was okay with it after we explained it, but be ready for that. Maybe a reading of the story beforehand and then discussing the witch's role as bad will help.

This review of Tangled was written by Sandie Angulo Chen

Parents need to know that this reimagining of the classic Rapunzel tale is one Disney "princess" movie that's sure to entertain both boys and girls. Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) isn't the typical princess in need of rescuing; she does her fair share of saving Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) -- who's no Prince Charming. There's a lot of romantic chemistry between them (flirting, gazing, and eventually hand-holding, embracing, and a kiss or two), as well as a couple of creepy scenes in which the youthful-looking Mother Gothel uses her beauty to lure men to do what she wants. Expect some brief but memorable cartoon violence -- one character dies, another one nearly dies after being pierced by a knife, and there are plenty of last-minute escapes from arrows, horse-mounted soldiers, fire, etc. The movie's messages about girl power and seeing beyond appearances are positive and inspiring; kids will learn that we all have dreams, and we should do everything we can to make them come true.
