Love them or hate them, there's no denying that, of late, Disney's animated movies (not counting Pixar's output, naturally) have been lacking sparkle in both an artistic and commercial sense.
The relative success of The Frog Princess went some way to redressing the balance; however, Disney was falling a long way behind Pixar and even Dreamworks in the "movies kids love to watch a few million times in a row" stakes. Thankfully, for those of us that have been wanting the House of Mouse to up its game a little, Tangled (aka 'Rapunzel') can be met with an expansive sigh of relief.
