10/10
Lightning Strikes Twice
15 January 2012
When Nathan Greno and Byron Howard (With the help of a cadre of Disney's finest) created the original Tangled, it was spectacular. I gave it a 10/10. Well, they've done it again. Pascal and Maximus all but stole the original film, and in 'Ever After' they are given a reprise that will satisfy every one of the 'sidekick-lovers' out there (myself included).

Clay Kaytis has called 'Ever After' zany. It is that, but more to the point, it's hilarious. You don't get go laugh out loud very often in the theater, and the fact that it takes less than ten minutes for Ever After to get you there is quite a statement. The 3D is (with one minor exception) not abused, as was the case in the first film, but rather totally immersive. I personally wanted more of Rapunzel and Flynn, but only for about thirty seconds. After that, it's Flynn's escape from the castle on steroids, plus Pascal for spice, and with a few scenes from Ratatouille thrown in. A feast fit for kings and queens of all ages.

Note to Disney: Lightning in a bottle is rare. Tangled it the hottest property you have. MAKE A SEQUEL!

Why are you still reading this and not drawing? GO!

Oh.. and to Nathan and Byron... Once could be a fluke. Twice is genius. Congratulations; Walt would be proud.
