Tangled is the best Disney film! AIBU?

As the mum to an almost 6 year old DD, I have watched a lot of Disney films. Was delighted today when she asked for Tangled. The music and lyrics are fun and clever, the plot is engaging and I find Maximus the horse really funny. Plus the animation is beautiful! It seems to me that it stands out from lots of others- does anyone else agree?

Ahh Tangled was the first Disney princess film DD2 was into. My favourite song is the “I have a dream” one!

HornyHornersPinger · 18/10/2025 21:04

Yes you ABVU! Because 'Up!' is the best Disney film ever...

afianceeatlast · 18/10/2025 20:55

I absolutely agree!

StripyHorse · 18/10/2025 20:51

I might be biased because it has always been DD1s favourite. Now at 18, she still loves it.

That said, I agree with a PP that Brave is great too.

I love tangled! And yes "mother knows best" is sang at my kids haha

I think little mermaid might be the most perfect Disney film though

Hatty65 · 18/10/2025 20:39

I love Tangled - and frequently sing 'Mother Knows Best' at my (adult) children.

I also love Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone and 101 Dalmations though. They were the ones I loved best as a child myself.

DD(14) would say “Brave”.

Brave is good but whenever I watch it I always end up getting distracted by the animation of Merida's hair.

TyroleanKnockabout · 18/10/2025 19:49

My favourites growing up were Mulan (definitely a feisty heroine!) and The Lion King.

I love Tangled but The Lion King is wonderful. I could watch it every week.

It’s funny I loved the Lion King as a kid but less so as an adult. I think I find it too serious. The little mermaid and 101 dalmations I quite enjoy now as a relaxing watch.

It’s my DD and DH’s favourite Disney film. I prefer the Pixar films but if I had to pick a traditional Disney princess film, I’d pick Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast. I also prefer Mulan and Pocahontas to Tangled.

Newsenmum · 18/10/2025 19:45

Encanto has the best songs by far! But I do like Tangled.

LadyAddle · 18/10/2025 19:42

I love Maximus, he snorts so beautifully and he doesn't know the meaning of giving up - the perfect hench-horse for their future lives.

Kpo58 · 18/10/2025 19:39

I really like Brother Bear.

I can't stand Wish though. Bland, forgettable and over diverse ethnicity for it's setting. Whatever the name of the protagonist was (I told you it was forgettable) didn't appear to be allowed to have more than 1 friend of the same race in her friendship group which just felt weird and forced.

InOverMyHead84 · 18/10/2025 19:39

YANBU. It's the absolute best!

ScrewyouJonathon · 18/10/2025 19:37

Dd 22 and I watched this a few weeks ago. We haven’t watched it since it came out. Loved it and Dd said it was the best!

Tagyoureit · 18/10/2025 19:36

I love it, the song 'i see the light' just melts my heart!!
I prefer tangled over frozen.

Madisnttheword · 18/10/2025 19:35

For Disney mine is the little mermaid. And non Disney is All Dogs go to heaven

Thisisnotmyid · 18/10/2025 19:34

I agree with the above poster. Emperors new groove is amazing along with Coco. I still sing we don’t talk about Bruno randomly

Soupdragon3 · 18/10/2025 19:33

The Emperors New Groove is the absolute best. Nothing comes close to it.

Ella31 · 18/10/2025 19:31

I never understood how Rapunzel ended up so normal with her isolated upbringing and narc “mother” unless it was the magic which kept her well adjusted?

Yeah that's true, but you could say that about all the Princesses.

How did Cinderella not end up having a mental breakdown, being forced to be a slave to her horrible stepmother and stepsisters. I think I would have thrown myself out the window.

Snow White's dad died and then her evil stepmother took over.

They're just all supposed to be sweetness and light and so unbelievably kind that nothing touches it.

As an aside, how BORING are the old Disney films? I was obsessed with Snow White as a child and bought the DVD for my girls when they were little having not seen it for years. I couldn't sit through it. What a snooze fest!

GasperyJacquesRoberts · 18/10/2025 19:19

Tangled is probably my favourite too. Encanto has got better songs (and I'm still amazed that Mirabel is voiced by Rosa in Brooklyn 99) but the story just isn't as good. Moana is probably a close second to Tangled.

BusySittingDown · 18/10/2025 19:17

You are absolutely correct OP. I was delighted when my DD2 was obsessed with Tangled when she was 3. She's almost 15 and now says that her favourite Disney Princess is Tiana and Princess and the Frog is her favourite! 😲

Tangled and Rapunzel are my favourites...and erm, ahem, I love Flynn Rider... 😂
