Disney's Tangled: Review and Giveaway

Disney has certainly put their stamp on almost all the classic fairytales (an entire generation of Little Mermaid fans don't realize that the original Little Mermaid got turned to sea foam!), and next month they're going to do the same with Rapunzel. Tangled is opening in theatres everywhere on Wednesday, November 24 in Disney Digital 3D, and I for one am really looking forward to seeing it. As many of you may know, Tangled is Disney’s take on the classic story of Rapunzel. I love what they did with The Princess and The Frog, and I can't wait to see what they do with Rapunzel!

Here's a brief synopsis of Tangled:
When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) is taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a feisty teen with 70 feet of golden hair who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, the unlikely duo sets off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade filled with adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

Check out the trailer:

Disney also sent me some fun facts about the movie and its characters. For example, did you know...
* Rapunzel has 70 feet of golden hair and more than 100,000 individual strands.

* If all the hairs on a single head of hair 12 inches long were laid end-to-end, they would stretch 26 miles. If all the hair on Rapunzel’s head were laid end to end they would stretch for 1,820 miles.

* Special software had to be created to simulate movement for the hair, no one had ever animated that much hair before and no leading lady has ever had that much hair before!

* The software engineer responsible for creating the hair simulation for Rapunzel and all of the film’s main characters got her computer science PhD in the study of hair, and has spent the last ten years specializing in that area.

Talk about HAIR-rifying!
