"Tangled," Disney's 50th animated feature directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, showcases a fine retelling of the fairy tale story of the Brothers Grimm's "Rapunzel."

It explores the life of the teen Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) who gets stolen from her royal parents as an infant and raised by the villainous Mother Gothel (Donny Murphy) who uses Rapunzel's magical golden hair to keep herself young.
