Tangled (Warning: spoilers ahead)

As Jemilla has been doing very well on her multiplication tables at school, I took her to see "Tangled" at the cinema in Kowloon Tong. The last movie we saw together was the dreadful "Princess and the Frog". "Tangled" was sooooooooo much better, with likeable characters, hilarious dialogue, and a great blend of animated action and romance. My favourite scenes were as follows in no particular order: "Mother knows best" and "I've got a dream" songs, the boat scene with the lanterns, the smolder, any bit with Maximus, Rapunzel's mood swings, and the expressions on the little girls at the fountain when they were offered 50 feet of golden hair to braid.

Granted this is based on a fairy tale, but I still have a few burning questions that someone may be able to answer for me...

• Who were the bear and fortune-telling monkey in the credits?
• How could Rapunzel go barefoot for the whole movie, yet never get cuts on her feet?
• Don't you think it was odd how in the end Rapunzel's parents readily accepted a known thief into the family fold?
• If she's been in the tower her whole life, where did the freckles come from? And why isn't she pale and weak from a Vitamin D deficiency?
• Who cleans up those lanterns every year?
• Is this the only Disney princess movie where the heroine's parents are both still alive and actually love their daughter?
• Rapunzel's hair is always shiny and ironically tangle-free: what brand of shampoo does she use? (Jemilla could definitely use some! And her conditioner too, come to think of it!)
• How was Gothel spending her time all day outside the tower?
• How does Rapunzel know how to swim if she's been locked in the tower her whole life?
• Did that chameleon actually commit premeditated murder? (Yikes!)
• Why are some scenes from the preview not actually in the movie? (For instance, Rapunzel's hair knocking Eugene around in the tower.)
• Did this movie have an all white cast?
• Do you think the movie's moral could be "The pan is mightier than the sword" (Hardee har har)
• Don't you think that Rapunzel looks better as a brunette? (Carla, you should definitely do this hairdo again!)

I've heard a few people state that "Tangled" has usurped "The Little Mermaid" or "Aladdin" as their new favourite Disney movie. I wouldn't go that far, mostly because the songs weren't as good as the aforementioned movies in my opinion. However, I would definitely watch it again. And when I asked Jemilla which was her favourite part of 'Tangled" she replied, "The whole movie!"
