| Maker - Disney
| Rating - G, most likely
| Synopsis - It's the story of Rapunzel, all over again. With an interesting twist that she's been grounded for ... oh, life. Evil "mother" finds a flower that extends her life if she sings to it, and the Queen of the land is dying -- out of fear for his unborn child and wife, the King cries out and the town goes to work searching for a miraculous golden flower that has healing powers. Evil mother tries to hide it, fails miserably, and thus -- the family is saved, but then the daughter is stolen! OhSnap!
Who knew that if you healed the wife, the kid would get awesome ever-growing hair that could never be cut and was so strong, she could use it like a bull whip, swing from stuff, and even tie people up! Right, how many little girls aren't going to cut their hair now... poor parents.
| Pros - Disney has finally found it's way back to the original classics, having floundered for SO long without their Disney Princess/Kids movie careers in check. After that evil crap they pulled with that voodoo creepster movie (it's currently 5:57am and I can't remember the title - their last film out that was animated), they haven't been on par with Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, or even close to epics like Sword in the Stone and Fox and the Hound.
This movie had it all. Humor. Cutesy-ness. Amusement. AND -- sing a longs that we all loved and enjoyed as kids. Finally, a Disney flick worth taking your kids to.
| Cons - It seemed to drag on a bit, but maintained the Disney short-and-sweet experience, even still. I know how I am, and with a mild case of insanity and A.D.D., this film had be sitting on my hands, for fear of staring at my watch. Although ... I am old. Lol. /le shrug/
| Exciting Note - The horse is awesome! I want one.
| Zenith's Approval Rating - A solid 8 / 10
