The Tangled Disney Movie is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. I watched this one as an adult and I fell in love with Maximus the horse. Tangled is full of humor, song, and dance, and both adults and kids will enjoy this one.
The Tangled Disney Movie is a 3D computer-animated musical which was done in 2010. It is also an adventure, fantasy and comedy and it was produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It premiered at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles on the 14th of November 2010 and went into general release from the 24th of November.

Byron Howard and Nathan Greno directed the film and Roy Conli produced it. The screenplay was written by Dan Fogelman. The musical score was written by composer Alan Menken and Glenn Slater.

The story is about Rapunzel, who is a lost young princess with long blonde hair that is magical. She longs to leave her secluded tower against the wishes of her foster mother, and she eventually accepts the help of an intruder to take her into the world which is brand new to her.
