Tangled

2010

Disney

Dir. by Bryon Howard and Nathan Greno

Narrated beginning

-Flynn

-even though he says himself, it's not his story, but whatever

-bit meta ("See that old woman over there?" "creepy, right?")

Magic in story, from Golden Flower

Parents never speak

R. colour scheme = purple and gold

Mother G

-manipulative, acts loving but with bite

-a lot like r. mother in INTO THE WOODS, hm

Narration ends, then titles

ANIMAL SIDEKICK 1

Pascal (chameleon), silent, comic relief through reaction shots

R. rabbit teeth, aw

fucking huge eyes though, I couldnt stop being weird out by them, they're so fucking big

it really doesn't help in trying to convince that she's 18. she does. not. look 18. no.

A lot of "mind" singing, not sure if I like, it's odd

FLYNN - blues, browns

G - reds, blacks, greys

R charted the stars, she's really smart actually, v. skilled...

Chase sequence in forest.

ANIMAL SIDEKICK 2

Maximus, Horse, silent, like dog kinda, uptight, apples

FLYNN travels with a satchel

frying pan is used a lot, feels like frying pan = feminine / sword = masculine, and the frying pan always wins, which is nice

don't make oak and marc too close to r and flynn

oak/ r = naive, wants to leave/explore, believes firmly that they can't (needs to ask permission) but does disobey eventually

flynn/m = travels, "on the run", "doesnt sing"

don't treat oak's and ela's exploration outside like r. no grass/toes feelings or anything

Buff, gross guys singing

done.

don't do it again.

really theatrical endings to songs

good.

nice trap door design for Snuggly Duckling

(a lot of trap doors in town)

nice oak trees, with more trap doors in the middle

G, dramatic with cape, and exits with cape

R worried about dreams living up to expectations

mind singing, into, real singing, is weird

R staying with G treated as "dying"

HE CUT HER HAIR WITHOUT ASKING

mirror shattered, like in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Dust death

Tears, healing, feels realllllly cliche

every "good" character has brown hair

mum/r = purples

dad/flynn = blues

"Happily Ever After"

THE END.
