The return of the magic

The most notable style of Disney animation is the interspersed singing and dancing scenes in the animation, such as "A Whole New World" in Aladdin, "Colors of the Wind" in Pocahontas, "Reflection" in Mulan and so on. The rise of Pixar in the late 1990s created a refreshing field of 3D animation. Under the aura of classic 3D animations by rising stars Pixar and Dreamworks, Disney's original animations are slightly lacking in stamina. Disney launched the first 3D animation Chicken the Little in 2005, Meet the Robinsons in 2006, and Bolt in 2007 all failed to achieve the desired results. However, this Tangled can be said to reproduce the magic of Disney.

The most successful part of Tangled is that it has better inherited the tradition of Disney animation singing and dancing. Mandy Moore, who dubbed the heroine, was originally a powerful singer, and he showed his talents in the movie. Especially when the male and female protagonists watch the lights on the boat, the music and the picture are a perfect combination. I sang "I have a dream" in the bar That song and dance is also very funny, reminiscent of the dancing of candles and teapots in Beauty and the Beast.

Tangled feels comparable to Pixar in 3D image quality. Especially in the rendering of the fur. In different scenes, different lighting, rendering of different shapes of hair are relatively successful. Not only that, Tangled has successfully transplanted many of Disney's traditional strengths to 3D, such as the style of the characters, the portrayal of expressions and so on.

On the whole, Tangled reproduces the style of Disney's heyday, fairy tales, princesses, castles, spells, and songs and dances interspersed with dialogue. Not only that, Tangled also successfully combined the traditional advantages of Disney animation and computer 3D rendering, making it its most successful animation in recent years. Although it is still slightly inferior to Pixar's Toy Story, Tangled has finally reproduced the magic of Disney in the past. It can be said that it is a turning point in Disney's original animation, and makes people have greater hopes for Disney's future creation.
