Together with a Young Companion, I saw Tangled yesterday. It hasn’t dethroned The Princess and the Frog as my newer Disney fave, but it has more than set to rest the fears I had last year when hearing Disney changed the prince to a Errol-Flynn type rogue named Flynn in order to make the film more appealing to boys. Turns out that Rapunzel is still firmly at the center of the film and there is some neat gender cliché subversion going on with the Flynn character. My Young Companion loved it, squeed, laughed and yelled in all the right places, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, too.
