Disney needed another hit, and it was this 2010 action-filled take on Rapunzel’s story that finally delivered. Its early 2000s lineup (remember “Chicken Little”?) was a far cry from the princess blockbusters of the ’90s (like “The Little Mermaid” or “Beauty and the Beast”). After seeing the previews I thought itd be a light hearted and fun movie to watch but it just exceeded. “Tangled,” one of Disney’s early forays into computer animation, came at a pivotal time for the studio.

Rapunzel, though, is trapped in her tower by an evil maternal figure, not a pandemic she hasn’t gone outdoors in 18 years - far longer, hopefully, than any period of self-isolation we will have to endure this year.īut despite the parallels, I find myself returning to this film again and again, even during - especially during - a global crisis.

The whole scene, from the opening number of Disney’s “Tangled,” may feel a tad too familiar right now to qualify as escapism. For those who forgot, Tangled came out back in 2010, and it starred Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi and more. (She’s also combing through 70 feet of hair, and playing hide and seek with a spunky animated chameleon.

She’s sweeping the floor and doing laundry and knitting an endless scarf she’ll probably never wear.
