An alternate opening:

Now I'll sit back and wait for the posting of When Will My Life Begin (Reprise 1) and the complete Mother Knows Best sequence.

Tangled
That opening is...not exactly what I wanted, it's not really that great. I would have opened with the title "Rapunzel" appearing, then have it turn out the title is on the book cover, it opens, still narrated by Flynn, about Mother Gothel creating a magic rapunzel flower in her garden that gets stolen...
Ah well, it still would've been better than the one we got, except that we need the longer time given to how Gothel uses the flower.

But in the opening lines of the film, Flynn still says, "This isn't my story, anyway." Aside from that, I say it was in between - it was close enough to the story to be Rapunzel, and be Disney, but far away enough from the story to still feel a little un-Disney and make me mad!Ben wrote:The original story didn't play out here at all, and the focus on Flynn did make it a two-hander. Tangled may well have been a marketing ploy, but it's one that, in retrospect, works anyway.
I totally agree, Mac.
You can't open every film the same way...
Another example -- I love the way Superman: The Movie opens with a kid flipping through the pages of Action Comics #1 as he reads what's on the pages... (By the way, I'm very familiar with Action Comics #1. The cover on the copy in the film IS right but the interior art is totally different from the historic version of the comic.)
The music arrangement in this Prologue isn't repeated elsewhere in the film or any of its sequels. It's one of my favorite pieces of John Williams' music.
And I am so glad nobody bothered to redo that intro. It was perfect for that film and didn't need to be repeated.

I can't imagine him being pleased by anything made after 1959.

Obviously, he's never hard of the Glen Larson school of alternate foul language...
It's real obvious to me now WHAT "felger-karb" and "frak" were supposed to mean!
(Look it up, folks. I'm not gonna 'splain everything to you! Google, urban dictionary, and wikipedia are useful research tools. If you can't use them properly, OR find them on your own, you really didn't learn anything in school.
(The links don't all have to be handed to you on a silver platter!)
Seriously, the longer Dusty keeps this thread going, the more concerned I get.
This has long gone past annoying, amusing, and pointless to obsessive.
It's..................... borderline psychotic now.

OKAY...
I wonder if THIS will finally satisfy those who wanted a straight version of Rapnuzel:

This one is hilarious: seriously, I really can't see why Disney isn't suing these people. I love how they have to really point out this isn't anything to do with the Disney film...
