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?

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?

I'd say Sleeping Beauty and Lady And The Tramp for the stunning Eyvind Earle designs. They're the ones which stick in my mind.

And so
I brush, and brush
and brush and brush
my hair - and keep on wondering and wondering and wondering and wondering .....

Thanks OP there's my new ear worm 🙄🤣

And I think Rapunzel is a great heroine. So much more sassy and feisty than most Disney princesses.

She’s not sassier and feistier than most Disney princesses unless you skip the entire Disney Renaissance period. I do like Rapunzel, though. I don’t think “Tangled” is a the best Disney movie ever, but it’s a good candidate for “best Disney movie of the last twenty years.”

(I’m not a big “Frozen” fan.)

Yeah, Enchanted is good, but I meant the animated ones. DD is still a bit young to get all the humour in Enchanted.

My DC are 28 and 30 , so I’m a bit out of touch 😂
I remember us all loving it , back in the day !

With a different ending (I don’t like that the family get their superhero powers back) Encanto would be the perfect film.

As it is I think Moana is the nearest Disney film to perfection. (Haven’t watched the sequel and not planning to.)

Moana 2 is good but not as great as the original.

Meredusoleil · 18/10/2025 19:09

I also like Moana and Brave for other strong female leads.

Love Encanto too ❤️

I watched that my my dd for the first time yesterday and loved it! Sometimes when I’m watching a film with her, I start daydreaming but I really wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Much better than Tinkerbell which is her favourite…

Oh, yes, I don’t mind Princess and the Frog but is that the one with the weird voodoo sequence? I don’t like that much

Agree, I love it!

LittleLadyCece · 18/10/2025 19:05

That and Princess & The Frog! Love them!

BlessedAreThePureOfHeart · 18/10/2025 19:05

YABU. Princess and the Frog is the best. It has the best songs and a heroine that has worked for a living, and it's funny and really scary in parts!
