Critic Reviews

3 stars out of 4 -- "Disney's spirited re-telling of RAPUNZEL in 3D animation turns out to be a dazzler....With style and wit to spare."
Rolling Stone
"[With] a gorgeous computer-animated look that features rich landscapes and characters that look fuller and more lifelike than they have in the past."
Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "The script's sassy humor and the cast's vocal charm bring to jaunty life a flimsy Grimms' fairy tale."
USA Today
4 stars out of 5 -- "Delightful, funny, sometimes innocuous and still often thrilling, TANGLED transforms the old, tower-cloistered damsel story into a morality play that pits openness and sincerity against selfishness and insincerity..."
Box Office
"[T]he prettiness comes with brains, and the whole production, like those newly eye-catching models of American-made cars, bespeaks resurgent confidence."
Wall Street Journal
"It's a rambunctious, modern story...The script and the sprightly directing give the story plenty of snap and humor, and the animation is so luminously beautiful that even a falling-in-love sequence cribbed in part from THE LITTLE MERMAID is overwhelmingly magical." -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
4 stars out of 5 --[W]hisked with just the right mix of snappy smarts, touching emotions, dark shades and lively action."
Total Film
"Happily Ever After never goes out of fashion." -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly
"TANGLED is the 50th animated feature from Disney, and its look and spirt convey a modified, updated but nonetheless sincere and unmistakable quality of old-fashioned Disneyness."
New York Times
"[T]here's something compelling in the perfection the animators are now capable of bringing to syncopated character work."
Movieline
3 stars out of 4 -- "TANGLED is zippy and engaging, especially when the wide-eyed heroine joins forces with cocky bandit Flynn..."
Washington Post
"[The filmmakers] use 3D efficiently without resorting to gimmickry, saving the full impact for an emotive scene in which lanterns float through the sky and into the vision of the audience."
