There are two very good songs that accompany the movie(although it doesn't try to be a musical), and the usual fairy-tale ending that will please young and those who are young at heart. There is a formidable enemy(voice played by Anjelica Huston), and endearing characters who are Rapunzel's friends(a talking rabbit and a young dragon), as well as a few others who all are done well. They basically took the Rapunzel character and crafted an entirely different movie than what's in the original book. The animation isn't intended to make you forget that it's animation because we're watching a `doll' in action, not a person(and this is okay).
What impressed me the most about this made-for-video computer animated movie was the obvious time and attention that was put into the story, animation, and character development despite the usual bland Barbie stuff created by Mattel. 1st watched - 6 out of 10(Dir-Owen Hurley): Surprisingly well-done Barbie fluff.
