They just weren't memorable.So Disney went with the great Alan Menken for Tangled and let me tell you it worked! Tangled has some awesome music. I love "Mother Knows Best" for it's broadway like feel, "I've Got a Dream" is hilarious and perfect for the fun side characters. While I liked "When Will My Life Begin" the second reprise for it is amazing! It sounds very reminiscent of Ariel's reprise of "Part of Your World"! "I Can See The Light" is beautiful and romantic, and who knew Zachary Levi could sing?! He's great! "Healing Incantation" is hauntingly beautiful too, be it chilling with Donna Murphy sings in Prologue, adorable when young Rapunzel sings it in Prologue, or sweet and tearful when Mandy Moore sings in The Tear Heals. Even the score is beautiful! "Campfire"...

It's Rapunzel! Disney has announced that the reason for changing the title to "Tangled" was to attract a girl AND boy audience. You could change the name however you want but it won't make a "damn" difference. I'm a boy, in fact I'm 23 and I am looking forward to seeing this movie. Not because of it's title, but because of the legacy Disney has built with it's animated broadway-like movie musicals and because it's Alan Menken! The man is a genius with music! He can do no wrong in my opinion, his themes are rich and memorable, his rhythms are intense and driving. When your listening to one of his scores, he leaves you either smiling, breathless, or in awed and that's why he has the most academy awards (don't believe me, look up his accolades). In my opinion the best composer for film ever(along with John Williams, Hans Zimmer, and James Horner).Now for the review of Tangled Songs...4 out of 5...

And why not? He was a part of bringing Disney into a Renaissance, with some outstanding work to "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" and also to the underrated masterpieces like "Pocahontas" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Therefore it isn't strange that Disney brought him back to compose the score for their newest CGI feature, "Tangled", which is the Disney company's latest take on the Rapunzel tale (at last).During his years as a composer, Menken has established his own recognizable sound, while he's also has expanded himself and showed that he has versatile as well. Menken is good at creating sweet, harmonic and wondrous tunes, which gives you the Fairy tale vibes sound, which he absolutely uses in "Tangled". However, it also seems that Menken is consciously trying to... Read more |
