I will say that it was extremely awkward how they met and how she sort of just decides to "trust" him to take her to the lanterns. It happens a little too fast and too easily but I actually didn't mind that so much. Family oriented movies usually dive in much sooner because you've got to keep a child's attention. I liked this one, despite a weird start and what felt like a kind of rushed epilogue ending.
The original story of Rapunzel is... bleh. As a story it's not so bad but if anyone made THAT version into a film it would A.) Definitely NOT be a kids movie and B.) would be TERRIBLE as a film. We all know that sweet little fairy tale but the original story was actually extremely dark and violent.
I barely remember the last time I saw a Disney flick even on video (last time I think was Lilo and Stitch which I liked), and I am tired of the same old formula; but then again, it was those twists that worked for them before. Same thing with Pixar, they follow the same formula, they're good so far, but admittedly they have been inconsistent.
It's (Disney) not the same company they were some years ago.
Scarface is a puppet being controlled by a psycho-ventriloquist (how creepy is that?), Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) is the daughter of a mob-boss who was screwed by his partners, she is a teacher and becomes a vigilante to clean up her father's messes--see? Bats does honor his parents' memory while Helena seeks redemption...parallels and yet difference.
