Tangled reminds me of my toxic relationship with my abusive mother. I've been doing fine since I left the house, but geez it really hurts seeing Rapunzel blaming herself only for having her life!! At least she got to reunite with her true family when I don't have any. (small rant) Overall, beautiful animation, and I love it.
The next disney movies you should watch are: Raya and the Last Dragon, Big Hero 6, Zootopia, Mulan, Pocahontas, Hercules, The Hunchback of Norte Dame, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh, Bambi, Dumbo and The Jungle Book.
When Mother Gothal says “I love you most, she kisses Rapunzle’s hair, the source of her immortality. It is so subtle that I didn’t notice until someone pointed it out.
Which is pretty interesting since when she looks at Rapunzel directly to her face and tell her "that she loves her very much" after raising her for 18 straight Years she most likely did grow to genuinely love Rapunzel as a person but when she kisses the hair and say "I love you most" it reestablish that she'll always pick the hair and what Rapunzel can do for her rather than just Rapunzel herself.
in a twisted way she does care about Rapunzel, but in the end her desire to stay young and alive took precedence over that, i mean who can blame her in that regard, death is a scary thing that many would sooner murder their own grandmother than face it.
Bro.... What?!? I'm.... Astonished... Jeeeez..... Why am I so dumb? This movie is childhood to me, have seen it dozens of times, because it's just to amazing. But, why didn't I never realize that?!? Maybe I did, but my brain didn't, you know?
Fun fact: She actually does say no to his marriage proposal, multiple times. Disney made a cartoon sequel series to Tangled called Tangled: The Series, and in it Eugene proposes, but she isn’t ready to say yes yet, so he has to try again a FEW times throughout the series, before she eventually agrees when she feels like she is ready to do so. It’s a very cute show, and I love their relationship!
I love that so much! Like, it's teaching kids that it's okay to reject a marriage proposal, it doesn't mean you don't love them or want to be with them.
A little detail that I love is the first lantern that is put into the sky by the King and Queen has the kingdom's symbol the sun, and it's purpose is to bring back the princess. Out of all those lanters that is the only one with the sun on it and it did reach the princess! Rapunzel saw it about to hit the water and pushed it back up into the air. Such a small and sweet moment that the lanterns did their job.
Rapunzel mentions in the beginning to Mother Gothel that she's turning 18. Flynn is supposed to be around 24, but he mentions in the TV show that he doesn't know his actual birthday.
When Rapunzel promises Gothel she will go with her and never run away she is not lying. Remember earlier in the movie that Rapunzel told Flynn that when she makes a promise she never ever breaks it. That is an essential part of her character. Flynn/Eugene remembers that and that's why he tells Rapunzel that if she heals him from his stab wound, then she will die. (Life with Gothel forever would not be living.) That is why Eugene has to cut her hair off. It is the only way he can prevent her from having to fulfill her promise to Gothel, even if that means he will die.
Ohhhh, that makes so much more sense. That part has always confused me when he said "if you do this, then you will die" I always thought....No she won't, she reverses back time to heal you, she's not giving her life to you. But I didn't put two and two together, that makes so much sense!
Her hair doesn’t technically just heal while she’s singing-it uses the clock to rewind time to heal. Like the song says: “Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine.” Tangled is one of my all time favorite Disney movies!
Fun fact: the way Eugene was made was they went around asking all the females working what exactly they found most attractive in a guy and the end result of everything they said was Eugene
This is also where the "can't get his nose right" joke has to come from lol they went back and forth on so many designs to craft the "perfect" features on a man
Answering the part where you said you can't believe a girl that age would have stayed there... I identify with this movie a lot. I was raised in a very isolating cult, and didn't know anything about the outside world. They made me so afraid of anything I might encounter out there, I stayed in my parents house until I got married at age 20, and even then was treated like a little kid. I didn't know I could have moved out when I turned 18. Nobody told me.
One MAJOR detail everyone seems to forget about is that, in the original Grimm Brothers Rapunzel, gothel does cut her hair, and takes her to be stranded in the woods. The prince does come back to save her but finds gothel instead and is shoved off the top of the tower, falling into some prickly bushes causing him to go blind. Eventually, he does stumble his way to Rapunzel and when she sees him she starts crying and her tears restore the prince’s eyesight. That is why they didn’t make Rapunzel kiss Eugene to heal him after her hair was cut, because that wasn’t accurate I CANNOT express how much I love this movie! This my favorite Disney movie and favorite Disney princess! So relatable for me and being able to relate to Rapunzel is amazing..I just…*sigh* I LOVE THIS MOVIE 🥰😭💖
That is almost correct. But the prince isn't shoved down, he actually jumps because he is so sad that he lost his love. The movie doesn't have a lot in common with the source material and I'm glad it's that way. The fairytale isn't that nice (at least in my opinion).
Oh, you guys read the brothers grim version. In the ORIGINAL version, the witch finds out about the prince because Rapunzel gets pregnant so she does the who cutting off her hair and abandoning her in the wilderness thing but Rapunzel actually dies of starvation within a few weeks and the prince actually does get pushed out of the tower by the wicked witch and blinded by the thorns but then he just goes home to his kingdom and nothing more is said about him other than he lived out the rest of his days blind and alone.
Few things cause I love this movie skdjsks Every time Mother Gothel expresses affection towards her in the beginning of the movie, like kissing her and calling her pet names, all of it ties back to her powers/hair rather than Rapunzel herself. She kisses her hair, calls her flower. But whenever Eugene and her are having their moments, he always brushes her hair out of her face. Maximus, the horse, actually recognized Rapunzel as the lost princess in their introduction scene, that's why there's a focus on him staring into her eyes before he starts following her orders. Eugene cutting Rapunzel's hair at the end is so emotional cause he knew she meant her promise to Gothel. She made it clear to him in the beginning of the movie that she always keeps her promises and that's why it was such a big deal for her to promise to stay with her. There's a short film about their wedding that follows this that Disney's released, along with a Disney Channel TV Series that takes place between this movie and the short film. 💖
disney's creative team in the late 00's were so gangsta they went ''you know what, we gonna make a princess movie that's actually about kidnapping, gaslighting and life-long psychological abuse, and y'all gonna love it''
The worst part about Mother Gothel is, imo, that she doesn't just want to take Rapunzel back, she wants to convince Rapunzel that she should go back of her own free will & never leave again. That's why she waits. It's icky.
Yup if she comes back on her own it makes I easier for Gothel to control her because she’s not taking her by force. If Eugene hadn’t cut her hair she would’ve sadly gone with Gothel and would’ve been locked away under worse conditions to prevent another escape especially if Eugene was able to escape to tell the Royal family (without somehow being recognized as a very wanted thief).
@@ddwedd8667 That’s her goal. To continue gaslighting Rapunzel. If she were to have brought her back by force, Rapunzel would known that there’s something up
“You’re gonna tell a story about how you died but it isn’t even about you? That’s messed up!” Lmfao he really came through with the story of how he died that isn’t even his story, huh? 😂
Right like is nobody going to realize she’s the only blonde in the entire kingdom, and your king and Queen lost a blonde child 18 years ago? No? Okay 😅
I laughed so much when you brought up their ages lol 😂 but yeah Rapunzel is 18 and Flynn is 23 in the movie, they have a 6 year age gap 🤗 I mean she’s still super young but I feel like they’re one of the most healthiest Disney relationships to date, they even continued the story with a television show which gives more depth on what happens after the events of the movie and before they get married. And you see how much they both treasure their friendship and love with each other and how long they actually dated before even getting married which is so refreshing that they didn’t just get married after they met and knew each other for like a week lol but yeah I love them and Eugene honestly cares for her and only wants what’s best for her and her happiness 🥰💖✨
And about her “that’s so Raven” moment, the fact that she was able to be out of the house and revisit the kingdom brought those lost memories back. Which was also why keeping her in the tower was on the best interest for her toxic kidnapper haha
I really liked the edits where you were a part of the movie! Hilarious reaction. Tangled has good jokes that anyone can appreciate, a well structured story and a bunch of cool characters.
She's lucky her hair is magic. Because if it wasn't it would just be catching all sorts of disgusting crap from being dragged around the forest. Dead leaves, petrified sticks, shrooms, rotting animals and other nasty stuff.
Yeeeeah, that was the first fairytale that I began questioning my parents about as a child, because, as much as I loved long hair and believed in all sorts of magical stuff, I couldn't get over how obstructive, impractical and inconvenient that hair just HAS to be, magic or not.
I was like 3 or 4 when it came out but I heard it so many times on cd that I actually can speak with the whole movie to today! It’s my favorite disney movie and the only movie I watched over 50 times. ^^
Honestly this is the best Modern Disney Princess movie I actually enjoy the most. The humor is great and the animal characters is what makes me come back to this movie a lot. It’s the first one that started this new animation before Frozen.
Tangled is definitely one of my favorite Disney Movies. Always annoyed me that it barely got any recognition, compared to the overhyped Movie that is Frozen.
Tbh, I don't really tear up all that often in Disney movies (especially the recent ones); but the one scene where the King and Queen launch the lantern together honor of their missing daughter got me choked up the first time.
Soon as you said ugly witch right in the beginning I was like mother gothel ain't ugly. She kinda attractive and then you was like I might have to holler at the witch. I was dying 🤣 I love this movie. It's a favorite for sure
A 90s kid, I had all the classic Disney movies in those puffy white VHS cases... I loved the princesses and I'd get the branded princess Barbie dolls and other toys. I wore out the tapes. But I love this movie more than any of the others. Rapunzel resonates with me so much. The themes are dark in all the right ways, but it's hilarious and bright, full of wonderful music, and not an ounce of filler. This was it. Tangled was the summit of Disney. Then Frozen happened.
The editing was killing me this one, im glad you look like you had fun cause this was one of the favorite I had seen from "recent disney" it was just overall fun. I was excited that you mentioned Mulan too cause thats one of my all time favorites.
the thing is in her own twisted way she probably DOES care about her, but more than her own life and youth? no, sadly not. but do realize that Gothel only tried to take a lock of her hair, what she was doing was wrong, but she wasnt inherently a monster of a person, she just didnt want to die.
The shot of Gothel falling out of the tower with that harsh sunbeam against the tower is such an amazing shot, the lighting and the angle is amazing and whoever the animators were who set that shot up, 👏 well done, you're doing things right
@@UltimateGamerCC she's 18 lol the scene where she asks mother gothel if she can go see the lanterns and is talking about her birthday, she literally says "Mother, I'm turning 18"
You got yourself a new subscriber, the way you edited yourself into scenes had me laughing so hard. The algorithm knows I love Tangled and suggested this video and I am so glad it did, your reaction was perfect.
Disney’s last romantic love song! I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since we got one! And no! Love is an opened door does not count. Not when the song is between a protagonist and the villain!
This movie is really amazing & made Rapunzel my favorite princess of all time from the Lineup. I really recommend in your free time to watch the tv series and it explains how she got her blonde hair back. It is so good & S3 gets really emotional
I love this movie, I can relate to her- grew up in a very religious and controling family. They didn't let me go out of the house or talk with other kids, was very isolated. Read lots, painted, craft- anything to keep busy. I ended up leaving a lot like repunzel- had long hair too lol Went dang well past the rear. Gramps wouldn't allow me to cut it. Loved your reaction, and look forward to seeing more
we have the same story sis, I'm long haired, have a fascination with art (albeit a different kind but still art) and my own mother was very controlling and narcissistic like gothel, sorry for all that you've suffered🥺❣
Mel finding out that Rapunzel is actually 18 and saying "so I can..." That made my day man! I gotta say though I was thinking the same thing when I first saw this movie. To me Rapunzel is the most beautiful Disney princess! Also, Mel saying that Rapunzel's liquids are magical had me laughing for a good 15 mins. Great reaction man! Lastly, almost 14 years later and this movie is still one of my favorite disney movies! I love Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi!
i cried a little when the king looked so hopeless and cried because after 18 years, there was no sign of his daughter, and yet he still stood before the kingdom to raise the lantern for her. the look on the poor king's face killed me ;m;
I don’t know if anyone said it already, but the Kingdom of Rapunzel is called Corona… so yeah And also in the original fairytale the Prince who wants to rescue Rapunzel fails at first and gets thrown out the Window of the Tower by the Witch, falls into the Roses and gets blinded by the Thorns(i think that’s the English word) and wanders around the Desert for two weeks until Rapunzel herself manages to Escape the Tower and finds him in the Desert healing his Sight by Crying on them so the Ending is Accurate and Inaacurate at the Same time… like all Disney Adaptations
Your reactions are my favorite. And believe me, I watch a lot of reactions. You have my exact sense of humor, your editing is on point, and you are such a good judge of music.
If you want animated movies, watch 'The Last Unicorn'. It has Christopher Lee being... well, it's Christopher Lee, the man was physically incapable of a bad performance.
Random film fact: Eugene is voiced by Zachary Levi who also plays Shazam in the DC film. He even did the singing in this film. He was also the title character in CHUCK, and was one of Thor's friend's in Thor: Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.
Disney made a tangled show and yes my 22yr old ass watched the whole thing. And *SPOILER* she did say no when he asked her to marry him at first! I was SHOOKETH LOL
I don't tear up for that song during the movie but at Disney world the one fireworks show plays that song and projects the lanterns floating on the castle. Gets me every time.
Very fun movie reaction and commentary! Yes, they did make a good spin off series called Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure with new characters and added world lore.
this movie is actually a very good commentary on abuse and why people stay in these relationships. she genuinely believed gorgeous loved her and wanted to protect her and was doing what’s best for her. plus she did have that teenage rebellion even in the tower Pascal was a secret
You kept wondering about Rapunzel’s age. She says she’s turning 18 near the start of the movie, so… that answers that. Eugene is like 23 or something I think.
I read somewhere that the animators mentioned he was 26 but if she's 18 that's not too bad (though pretty interesting to see an age gap like this on a Disney film)
On the original story Rapunzel's tears were healing, but not her hair. The prince got yeeted out a window and scratched his eyes on thorn bushes and when they reunited her tears restored his sight.
The lights thing, the lanterns, there's a city in my country where they do that, on a night at the end of June, during a celebration in honour of St John. I suspect other places in the world do something similar because the effect looks so cool at night.
I loved this film. As a boy, it was the only princess movie I enjoyed because of Flin Rider. Tangled and Frozen are really the only princess movies that give good character development to the guys too. Beast has a pretty decent character too, but not like Christoff or Flin
In the original story, the prince gets knocked into a tree and gets his eyes scratched by the branches, which blinds him. But when he reunites with Rapunzel, she weeps with joy and her tears heal his eyes.
Mel, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that the King and Queen picking the flower was kind of just as bad as Gothel saving it for herself! It's one of my unpopular Disney opinions. Another...this came out close to Princess and the Frog, and everyone talks about how Tangled was so much better, but I disagreed. I like Princess and the Frog more!
I mean, the soldier didn't know the incantation. And Gothel would never let them use it or teach them how to. Whoever their court physician was unlikely to be aware of the occult and Magic. But, tbh, with how potent it is, you would have expected 1 petal to be enough, but then again it's not like they could have tested it for risk of even a small amount being loss ruining efficacy.
@@swishfish4289 Intent vs impact. They rushed into things without considering the consequences of their actions. Story of every man-made environmental disaster ever! However, we're supposed to feel that they're the good guys because we're told they are? Whatever!
11:01 I had my phone propped up on something and a soon as he said "Hi." with his "default smolder" it fell over. 😂 As to exaggerate how much that flopped as a "pick-up line". 🤣
Tangled is one of my favorite Disney movie princess. I love the action and adventure blending with Fairy tale and the musical is absolutely dazzling stunning. Can you reaction either Beauty and the Beast or Meet the Robinsons
Hey man you have no clue how much your videos help me idk what it is just your personality makes my anxiety and racing throughs stop every time I get anxious I throw on one of your reactions and it never fails too make me laugh get my attention and make me completely forget about my issues in life I really appreciate your content and it helps me more than you know your probably just having fun watching movies but for me it’s way more than that when I’m alone and feel I have no one I can put on your video and laugh and feel like I’m laughing with a friend I deeply appreciate your content ❤️
MellVerse, you should be a professional advisor to all future Disney movies! You would benefit us all and I welll know all of us would thank you for that within our hearts and minds. 😌
