For anyone here who has seen Tangled, what Disney movie would you compare it to? I keep hearing everyone gush about it, but I have not really been impressed by the trailer. I might check it out, but was wondering what other Disney movies it is like and also what some of your favorite Disney movies are to help me get a sense of your tastes.

I'd say it's a combo of Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty with a dash of The Emperor's New Groove.

I'd say Tangled also has Aladdin tones about it, it's so so much better than the Shrekesque trailers would let you believe

I heard the exact opposite. A friend of mine was really impressed by the animation. I'd love to see it for myself though.MrEnglishPanda said:

indeed i got the blu ray on recommendations after passing over the movie for looking shrekesque non-disneyish. watched it yesterday and loved it, it really is a lot like the old disney princess movies, i can't really do the whole comparison to other movies thing well.
icarus-daedelus said:
Yeah I remember reading some stuff on the animation on Wikipedia.
So yeah, this could be part of the reason why I think it doesn't look as good. I personally think the later CAPs films look better and also believe that Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the most overrated Disney movies ever.

Cool. I'll be buying it that way. $80 MSRP is a bit much for me.
Wario64 said:
Technically, the 5 disc they are showing could be the one with the identity disk, but who knows. Also, chances are, the coupon probably wont work with the $8 off because normally the Disney coupons are not active with other coupons, or the coupon could be just for the 5 disc set....maybe I should just wait for the coupon to come out. Then again, I will probably just pay $50 for the set on Amazon.

Sounds like a deal for me, though I was planning on getting the 5-disc set, so that I don't have to deal with 2 separate cases for the movies. Just ordered Tangled 3D for in-store pickup at Best Buy so I'll just give them the $5 off coupon once I get it tonight.

Man Tangled is beautiful in 3D. It's a damn shame I have an eye for framerate so I think that's causing me to see the active sutter working so it feels like a constant flicker. Too bad since the depth looks really good.
Been thinking about getting tangled on iTunes, but not sure I can handle the 7GB download this month.
anyone know about the SD-HD versions on iTunes? I know they download and sit together in the folder, but can I just delete the standard version and have iTunes just 'recognise, only the hd version is present?

Maybe not the only one, but a minority for sure. I'm not sure what effect is making it seem that way to you. Did you see it on blu-ray? If not, the DVD was compressed to all hell, especially in the backgrounds.
On another note, I watched Sleeping Beauty with my daughter. Now that is some detailed multi-layered art.

Get the DVD, comes with digital copy.
You can delete the standard version if you want, just make sure if you sync to tell your device to allow HD versions.
Wario64 said:
That's the best deal that I can see (besides even the price.) I wanted to get the 3D version of Legacy just for future purposes, but I also wanted to get a DVD copy of the original Tron. With the Tron 5 Disc set at Amazon (preordered for $45) I wouldn't get a DVD copy of Tron as far as I can tell.
DJ_Tet said:
You would not. It would be the only thing missing.
No idea what I'm doing yet personally, as being in Canada makes it hard to find deals like the above one.
I have a five disc preordered at Amazon for $42 and some change, so I'm thinking it may be best to just keep that and then try to get them to give me an additional $5 credit for the coupon.
Guess we'll see next week...

Do it.Jintor said:
They're all combo packs, so you'll get a DVD you can watch for now with the Blu-ray you can watch once you've upgraded.
People in your situation are the reason Disney started making them.

Tempted to do just this but in the end it's spending alot of money I shouldn't really be spending in the first place.BertramCooper said:

For most of them, you've still got a bit of time. But if you want to get all of them, you'll need to go after the ones that are disappearing soon (Fantasia, Snow White, Pinocchio). Bambi, Alice, and Beauty and the Beast will be around for quite a while, so worry about those ones later. Sleeping Beauty might be tricky at this point - Amazon is already out of stock.AbsoluteZero said:
Do what you can. If you miss out, they'll come back around eventually, but it will take a while.

Here's a question that I've been pondering: What is your overall opinion of the Vault policy?
My first reaction is that it's annoying, inconvenient and promotes piracy (all three are true).
But at the same time, I respect Disney for doing it and understand their reasons for doing so. Furthermore, it's hard to be angry at them for it when they've done such an amazing job restoring the films (with a couple notable exceptions).
And also, they really do offer some tremendous deals for people who buy the films close to release. Plus, it's just kind of fun to talk about.
I'm really glad this thread has been such a success. I'm a certified Disney animation freak, so I've enjoyed some really good discussion in this thread.

Watched it tonight -- definitely glad I picked it up (BB for $25 - $5 coupon = $20). My goodness it looks awesome on Blu-ray. And I know it's already been discussed, but what the hell was the Disney marketing department thinking in creating the previews for it. It does the movie no justice at all.VisionaryQuest0 said:

The lukewarm box office success of The Princess and the Frog got Disney worried that Tangled wouldn't appeal enough to boys, so they went overboard in de-emphasizing the whole princess stuff in the marketing. I was extremely concerned that Disney's pandering was going to adversely affect the quality of the film itself, but thankfully that was not the case.AirBrian said:
Tangled is a tremendous achievement in almost every respect. And given its extremely turbulent and protracted development, it is about a hundred times better than I thought it would be.

Don't let our hyping hurt your opinion when you finally watch it or anything. :lolMagnus said:
Just keep in mind how hellish the development process was for this film, and how amazing it is that such a great film came out of it.
This film should have been shit. But it's fantastic.
I got home, walked my dog, casually printed both coupons and drove to Target. 5 Targets in the Sacramento area were completely sold out of the 3D version. Insane but I finally grabbed one of 9 remaining copies for $14.99. Thank you Disney whores for pointing out the coupon extravaganza!

Bought Tangled on DVD yesterday. Looks great. Maybe one of these days I'll pick up a HDTV/Blu-Ray combo.
