Tangled (2011)


Love in the time of Covid – I think we will all feel a renewed sense of empathy for Rapunzel as she sings around her social-distanced tower, listing all the things she does in a day to pass the time. Tangled is the go-to for lazy journalists complaining about Frozen’s success – “but Tangled is much better…” and they’re not wrong. A Shrek-sperian rejigging of the fairy-tale formula, Tangled infuses anarchic wit, physical comedy and surprisingly intricate plotting with a set of Disney-renaissance inspired song-numbers from Alan Menkin including the ludicrously funny I Have a Dream.
