Tangled - My First Disney Princess Movie and It blew My Mind! - Movie Reaction 

One small detail everyone loves is that whenever gothel says something caring to rapunzel, she is always talking directly to the hair. But Eugene actually pushed her hair out of the way when getting close to her.

Someone pointed this out and it blew my mind: Rapunzel's hair doesn't have healing powers, it turns back time. So when she "heals" Eugene's hand, she's actually turning back time to when his hand wasn't cut 😮

"i cant wait to watch it with my daughters" aww man this is so nice, i never considered this aspect of having children and getting to experience movies again with them

I don’t know if you realized but the same lantern that Rapunzel helps lift back into the sky is the same one her parents lit. It had the same marking and it found the lost princess just like it was suppose to.

Another feels punch for fathers. The king, after all those years, still us broken hearted about his baby girl missing. His brave face crumbled on her birthday.

The eyes being huge became a major trend in animation within the last decade or two - it helps animators convey more emotion through characters without getting into “uncanny valley” territory for viewers watching.

If you remember near the beginning Rapunzel tells Flynn when she makes a promise she never ever breaks that promise. That establishes promises as something sacred to her and an essential part of her character. So when she promises Gothel that she will go with her forever if she heals Flynn, that makes it impossible for Flynn to come back later and save her. There is nothing he could have done to save her without making her violate her promise, which would, in a sense, have made her die. The only option open to him was to prevent his own healing. And the only way he could do that at the time was to cut her hair.

“You were my new dream” always gets me

I like to think Eugene narrating this is him telling the story to his kids 🥰

Fun-fact: Zachary Levi voiced Flynn partly in the hopes that someday he could be in a Kingdom Hearts game! 😁 Now THAT'S some dedication and future planning if I've ever seen it

For most of my life I lived with a person who talked to me like Mother Gothel constantly gaslights and belittles Rapunzel in order to keep her confidence down and keep her close, emotionally hostage. That makes Gothel very realistic abuser and I'm grateful to Tangled for teaching kids to recognize these kinds of people.

One of the things I love about this movie is how they showed her father grieving, in a more outward way than even the mother (though they were both grieving). When my niece was stillborn, people asked me how my sister-in-law was, but no one asked about my brother, and it pissed me off. And in movies they always show the mom being devastated, but the dad is just kinda bummed that his wife is bummed about it and they always show him being "strong," and trying to bring her out of it. Once I even saw a clip of a movie where they came home from the doctor's office after finding out there was no heartbeat and the dad tried to cheer her up by being like, "You know... that trip we've always wanted to take to Ireland... we could do that now." LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! NO. Dads grieve when they loose their babies. God bless whoever's idea it was to show the dad grieving more outwardly than the mom in this movie. I see my brother every time I look at him.

Started with the best princess film. Cause it has a male love interest who is actually a great charector

"Does seeing someone else cry trigger you into crying?" Yes. Yes it does. Empathy is both a blessing and a curse.

gothel is such a good and terrifying villain bc of how real she is. there's so many people like her in this world.

Yesss!!! This is my favorite movie. I think it means a lot to a lot of people because a lot of people have their own Gothel in their home. She’s a very realistic villain because she doesn’t have any magic, she relies entirely on manipulation, gaslighting, and cunning. Edit : I was crying right along with you! Partially because of the movie and partially because I also have that thing that seeing people cry makes me cry hahah

i think the crying when other people cry thing is just an empathy response some people have, like yawning when other people yawn or laughing when other people laugh. it's cool how people's emotions are kinda connected like that

Tangled is my all time favorite Disney movie with nothing else coming close.

Oh man, my all time favorite Disney movie! Fun fact: Tangled was the start of the trend where Disney picked an action word for the title instead of the Princess's name in an effort to appeal to both boys and girls. I love that you're not afraid to let us see you cry. I love it when movies emotionally sweep you away. Don't we all just want to feel something? And yes, seeing someone else cry or struggle with emotion will get me going too. Sad moments in movies have been very cathartic when I've had tragic things happen in my real life.

I would 100% recommended the series, it’s amazing and expands the history of the flower and her hairs magical abilities.

I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, but her tears being magic is a reference to the original Rapunzel story. In the story, the prince becomes blind and Rapunzel’s tears heal him

What I love about these reactions is that it’s fascinating to see someone who’s never seen these films watch them, compared to people who grew up watching these films. It shows how timeless animated films can be. Anyone should be able to enjoy the medium of animation.

The term your looking for is gaslighting. Which basically means that the one being mentally abused is aware of how the actions are affecting them but when they speak out, the abuser does everything in their power to make the person feel like they are crazy for thinking that there is a thing wrong. They make the person feel guilty for standing up for themselves and convince them that they are nothing without them. Mother Gothel got away with this pretty easily because Rapunzel has never been outside the tower and has never been out on her own. She feels insecure without her " mother" there to support her. Mother Gothel does not support her wishes to go outside, or anywhere. It has resulted in a very unhealthy co-dependent relationship between her and mother Gothel. Mother Gothel has kept her from wanting to explore ( even if she IS curious) by making the outside world out to be dangerous, more so that it actually is. Telling her lies to keep her close. Even though Rapunzel clearly gets offended, sad, disappointed, and insecure from her mothers constant criticism and words in general, she will not up front tell her that she is wrong because she does not believe she is wrong-at least during the first half of this movie.

This was my first time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed it! And I really appreciated that you're willing to cry on screen. A lot of of the other youtubers I watch do everything they can to hide it. As a very emotional person - I'm just like your friend who cries every time someone else does - it was really nice to watch someone who didn't treat it like bad thing. Thanks for the good time!

One of my favorite movies, my dad watched it with me and my brother, after a few scenes he laughed at the horse so hard, that he kept on watching. It is still a great memory of the 3 off us.

“Does anybody else cry when they see other people cry?” That’s called empathy, sweetheart. It’s a very good thing. 👍

I like the idea that Eugene’s narration at the beginning and end of the film is Eugene telling the story to their children, and Rapunzel comes in at the end of the story to tuck the kids into bed

Don’t be discouraged about the musicals having less audio from the movie, this is probably the best commentary/reaction I’ve seen for this movie!! Loving your channel so far!

Mother Gothel: "the world is dark selfish and cruel and when it finds the littlest bit of light it destroys it". Me: yes that's true but you're one of the people that makes it that way.

This movie is plotted and paced insanely well, the balance between drama and humor is great, and the character portrayals and arcs are brilliant. Love this movie 💖 Also, the gaslighting is chillingly accurate, and genuinely terrifying Also also, Maximus is up there with Toothless for top animal companions of all time 😅

How does Maximus manage to steal every scene he is in? Great characterization of a noble steed. I saw Sleeping Beauty (reaction) and the Prince's horse looks just like Maximus. How cool of the animators to go back and follow the legacy!

"I See the Light" is my favorite song and very romantic

In the original story Rapunzel also had healing tears. The prince was pushed or jumped from the tower into thorn bushes that put out his eyes but his sight is returned when her tears fall into his eyes.

this is my absolutely favorite disney princess movie. it’s just so good.

That part she's lil and says "yes mommy" hit me hard, that voice is to much. 23:54 it just gets my eyes teary.

Im super excited for you to (hopefully) watch the Princess movies! But then again, i think they'd be fun for you to watch with your babies. The scene with her parents before they release the lanterns is probably my favorite scene in any Disney movie. You understand exactly what they're feeling and not a single word is spoken. Goosebumps and tears everytime.

I bought this movie on a whim also because I like Zachary Levi from Chuck and I swear to this the day the king in that one scene is the most broken man I think I've seen in a film like he's so sad and Mother Goethel is straight up evil

The fact that this is your first disney princess movie, what a great start! This is still my favorite disney princess movie along with The Little Mermaid. Such a good movie, great characters, great story! So happy you reacted to it

What mother Gothel does to Rapunzel is called "gaslighting" in psychology. Is the way doméstic violence starts usually, making you Believe everything is your fault and You're worth nothing.

Starring Mandy Moore as Rapunzel with Zachary Levi as Flynn Ryder in this movie about a girl with magical hair, and the woman who wants it for herself. Based on the Brothers Grimm story

“The eyes are drawn really big. It reminds me of anime.” Fun fact: anime started as Japanese artists copying Disney’s style. That’s why early anime bore resemblance to early Disney. But anime has long since diverged into its own thing. And with many modern studios outside of Japan doing things that bear resemblance to modern anime, I’d say the art form has full circle if you ask me. :)

This cartoon is associated with one of my best memories. I was in my last High School year and we had our 2 last lessons substituted, which my whole class ignored, and all of us went to a cinema in the area, used our kids discount on te tickets and bought a few large buckets of popcorn to share for every penny we had left. This daring escape from classroom has brought us a lot loser together. Besides the rebelous experience itself, we were all crying at the end of the cartoon, and had to share a pack of pocket napkins too. We were sitting on the last row hugging in pairs and crying in the emotional moment. This really bonded us and now I am so proud when we gather together, 10 years past. Interestinly, it was the whole Kingdom Dance scene that actually always drew tears to my eyes. Something in this music and the shots transitions have always touched strings of my soul.... I still cry when I watch it, especially when the violin part comes forward. So upbeat, tender and powerful.

The scene where they're in the boat and singing with all the lanterns floating is highkey the most romantic and beautiful scene in any Disney movie, it always moves me to tears

If you want to see more of the characters, I recommend you to watch the after series from tangled, it's "tangled the series". There you have lots of new adventures and the most important thing:so many questions will be answered! Like where the flower and it's powers came from and so much else. And the synchronisation is with the same actors. And the songs in this series are quiet good, especially the songs from the character varian, because he is voiced by the Broadway talent Jeremy Jordan!!

If you listen to the words of the song she sings when she uses her hair, it doesn't actually heal or make you beautiful, it quite literally turns back time.

"I love the cape thing. I don't know why. I really like that." Honestly, who doesn't love a good cape swish? I've built entire LARP kits around the cape swish. It's so dramatic!

Mother Gothel was a gaslighter and my mother has many of her tactics and it is genuinely heartbreaking to live this way and see myself in Rapunzel in many ways! I'm slowly finding myself but it will take time!

About crying.. Yes, I cannot go to funerals, because i cry more than anyone there. I cry not because i see the tears but because i feel the sadness coming from people.

seeing Maximus and Pascal's animated characters and personality reminds me of the animated movie Bolt! They were so cute in this movie! Bolt is a great older animated movie, if that's not on your list, I recommend it 100%! You'll probably shed some tears though, but still a great movie!

Answering some of your questions: - Yeah, her hair is veryyyyy long lol. 70 feet long, to be exact. - How does she keep it clean? We don't know, tbh. We'll just say "maaagic" and leave it there lol. - "She, like, insults her, and then tries to say "I'm just teasing" every time." Yeah, emotional manipulation at its finest. This is the whole reason Rapunzel wants to ask first instead of just leaving; Gothel has consistently been emotionally abusing and gaslighting her for the past 18 years, plus feeding her lies about how dangerous everything is out there, leaving her with a fear of the outside world/lack of confidence. - Without spoiling too much, no, Eugene isn't from the Kingdom of Corona, although he has spent a considerable amount of time there and is one of their most notorious criminals. His birthplace is visited in the tv series, however. - Nah, Gothel wouldn't try to kill Rapunzel or cut her hair. Why would she get rid of the one thing she needs to stay immortal? - "You can be okay, and then go save her." If Rapunzel had healed him, she would have had to go with Gothel because she "never, EVER" breaks a promise, remember? Gothel was going to leave Eugene shackled so he couldn't follow them, Rapunzel would have gone with Gothel "willingly" because of her promise, and by the time Eugene escaped they would have been gone and he worried he'd never find her again. Cutting her hair was the only way to completely free her from Gothel's control. I doubt he realised it would actually kill Gothel, but Gothel wouldn't have been able to use her anymore. - "What the heck, he's really dead??" Well, he did say at the beginning that this was the story of how he died. Not the death of his former life as you interpreted it at the beginning, the story of how he literally died haha. - Magical *tear, not tears. The tear that Rapunzel let out which healed Eugene was the last of her magic leaving her; she and her hair no longer have healing properties after this point.

"What always gets me going is seeing other people cry." That is empathy. It's a good thing ❤

Tangled is one of my favorites up there with the original Mulan. Glad you picked it as your first.

You should watch the Tangled official sequel "Tangled Before ever after"! In this Rapunzel's hair grows back Blonde and magical, with new Sundrop and Mundrop powers!!

Please watch moana!!! This film is quite personal to me because it is one of the biggest representations of my heritage and culture in terms of animated films. Being a Polynesian and more specifically a Samoan, this film was so heartfelt and close to home and my people. Especially my ancestors. Love your Chanel so much and the content and sincerity behind you videos. Appreciate and positivity from Melbourne Australia 💯🙏🏾Backing your Chanel all the way!!!

Ever time she says the word "Promise" all I can think of is Varian and the Amber

The large anime-eyes started with The Little Mermaid -- a test; along with the use of CG for "scenes"; it worked -- larger eyes makes for easier expressions...

Tangled, Moana, Beauty and the Beast, and The Princess and the Frog are my favorite Disney Princess movies. But I think Tangled is the one I rewatch the most. 😊

BillyBinges and Mellverse are amazing content creators like you, too! Love that you share the love!!

If you loved this, you should also watch Tangled: The Series! Not as a reaction thing or anything, 'cause it is 3 seasons long, but it does a ton more world building and gives so much more lore on the magic of the flower! Plus it has a super amazing story and so much drama and detail that even adults can get super into it!

Loved this reaction! This movie left such a huge impact on me when it first came out and still holds a special place in my heart. It helped me get through the toughest years of my life (and my own personal Mother Gothel) when I didn't think that I could. I would highly recommend watching the short Tangled Ever After if you want more Maximus and Pascal! And you simply must watch the TV series, even if you don't react to it and it's just on your own time. It's a fantastic addition to the story. Cheers!

As a parent, the scenes with the King and Queen destroy me.

I think you'd enjoy Mulan, and The Princess and the Frog!

I need to binge-watch all the videos on this channel.

YAY finally!!! this is my favorite disney princess movie along with princess and the frog, i'm happy you watched it

I have a coworker who’s son is named after Maximus in this movie 😂

Watch "meet the Robinsons" please, its a GOOD movie, is sobre beatiful

23:08 that, my dear sir, is called being an Empath. It's not super common. But those that have it feel DEEPLY. Not just your emotions, but other people's emotions, too. And you're affected by them. For me, if someone is angry, I get angry, and if someone cries, I cry. It sucks. But it's great too. You can always tell how others are feeling. Even if they don't wanna talk about it. Edit: also, anime copied Disney and his big eyed princesses. Literally. The first anime artists cited Walt Disney and Snow White as their inspiration. Disney has been around slightly longer than anime. Snow White came out in 1938.

Seeing most of your reactions, i bet you would absolutely fall inlove with shrek movies especially the last one

I love Mother Gothel. Shes my favourite next to Flynn She is definitely my favourite villain in a fairytale ever. No superpowers or anything just old school manipulation

Man I would really recommend to watch Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding sequence on RU-vid. It's hilarious with Maximus and Pascal accidentally losing the wedding rings as Rapunzel and Eugene are taking vows, it's their whole hilarious journey of searching the rings and getting them to alter at time, kinda like small sequences of Jack-Jack using his powers in other RU-vid videos so do watch it. Also I would really recommend to watch Legend of the guardians: owls of Ga'Hoole, The Adventures of TinTin and Meet the Robinsons.

There is a Tangled ever after short on youtube about their wedding. Its awesome! You will love!!

Maximus is without a doubt my favourite character in this movie.

Man this last decade since this movie came out has truly been a golden age for animated movies.

Tangled is definitely top tier Disney princess content. Max is the MVP of this movie for sure lol another great Disney princess movie you should check out is Frozen. people tend to compare these two movies but they both stand on their won, imo, and both have merit in their own right.

One of my favourite Disney films and by far my fav princess movie. I've always loved Rapunzel and I remember going on opening day to watch with my dad at the cinema. Happy memories, love love love this movie and so glad you did too! :)

This is my absolute favourite Disney movie. It is amazing to watch people fall in love with the movie as I have.

We-ell... the Prince doesn't exactly rescue Rapunzel in the original fairytale... more like gets her pregnant, and when the witch finds out, she cuts rapunzel hair off and sends her out in the wilderness alone. The Prince comes to visit, and the witch throws him out of the tower...he lands in thornbushes and loses his eyes (!). He wanders the wilderness blind, but hears Rapunzel singing (that's how he found her in the tower too), she cries tears of empathy and love, and when her tears land on his eyes, they are healed and he can see again. She has given birth to twins in the meantime, and they live as a family happy ever after etc ;) At least that's one version. It's a folktale, so there are several versions, depending on the region you know it from :) In some versions the girl is called Cornflower instead of Rapunzel, and in some she's not a princess but just a girl. I live in Denmark and have grown up on the original (ish) versions of the fairytales. The Disney versions seldom has much to do with the actual fairytales they name themselves after. A lot of fabulous movies (I really like a lot of them), - but many of them I feel, should have had different names (like Tangled) as they have very little in common with the original stories (which are often pretty dark ;) ) Edit: I'm sorry for ranting a bit there ;) But it makes me a bit sad, that SO many people don't know the original stories 😉❤ Damn...I feel so old now, lol 🤣

I like that you’re not afraid to cry in this reaction- you show such genuine emotional reactions that it made me feel like I was watching this movie all over again. I got all teary eyed. I hope you react to more of these kinds of movies, I’m certainly subscribing man.

40:30 "She still has the power in her tear." I don't think so -- I think that tear _was_ the 'drop of sunshine' mentioned at the beginning, that was in the plant and transferred to the queen and then Rapunzel. ... Which means that now its power is in _Eugene._

My hubby watches this movie expressly for the horse. XD Your babies are so precious! I love seeing their surprise visits. They sure seem to love their Daddy.

He is the only character in a disney movie to question why everyone is suddenly singing and I live it

I wish I had even just half the moxie of that old cupid.

No joke, I just watched Tangled and this coincidentally came out the day I find your channel. The chances

Maximus is my favourite animated animal character ever. He's got so much attitude 🤣

Oh hey, I notice you take notes, that's so cool! What do you take notes on?

If you pay attention... The queen hasn't aged. The king is lined and gray, but the queen still looks the same and After Rapunzel's hair is cut, she looks freakishly like Mandy Moore when she had short, dark brown hair. That had to be on purpose!

lol I was so ready for you to bust out into song in the beginning

I know the feeling of eyes tearing when seeing someone cry in a movie. It's a combination of when someone does good acting (in this case for example the fathers face) + knowing a sad backstory for that moment and being very immersed in a movie and its characters. And as an addition in some cases also relating to something, that you as the watcher experienced in your life in some way. These type of movies are good at that because they putting all their focus on giving the watcher a rollercoaster of emotions with strong contrasts.

Aaaye! Finally tackling this one I see.

If you like Tangled, You'd really like Rapunzel's Tangled Adventures too, the Tangled series in a sense lol. Got to say though, my favorite of the newer Disney Princess Movies is Moana.

I love that I found this channel I can actually hear what you're watching when you play the clips

The only 2 non-musical princess movies are; Brave, & Raya and the Last Dragon. Frozen 2 have at this time by far the best character arc and musicals, with the added bonus of amazing water animation! But, you'd have to watch the 1st beforehand to truly appreciate it.

This is my first time seeing one of your vids and I subscribed. I love all the channels you shouted out!

I can’t help but tear up when I see someone crying as well, in sad and happy moments, especially in a sad moment. The first time was actually when I saw the first Pokémon movie. Seeing Pikachu sad just breaks my heart.

In the original story, the prince was thrown out of the tower in the midst of brambles and lost his sight. and at the end of her story Rapunzel lost in a lagoon or swamp, I think, he finds her thanks to her singing. he is healed with her tears and regains his sight

you're so cute omg I've had saw a lot of movies reacts/commentary but yours just hit me differently, you're so emotional and genuine, I loved that! this is my first video in your channel but you already have my subscription ❤ a lot of love from brazil!

13:53 "here's your pan, here's your frog" favorite line

I’m early and I know it’s gonna be good

i just found your channel & have been binging your disney/pixar reactions and was hoping you’d do this one next! it’s my favorite animated movie :)

The voice actor for the twins is Ron Perlman, from sons of anarchy which I love. And as someone else said i loved that they showed the dad grieving. As king, he should be so powerful but couldn’t save his baby. I lived with a single dad who was my best friend and that always touched me even though he said nothing. 💜💜💜
