Once upon a time, the Disney 3-D animated movie musical 鈥�Tangled鈥� was going to be called 鈥淩apunzel.鈥� But then the big, bad 鈥�Princess and the Frog鈥� had disappointing grosses and studio executives worried that maybe having 鈥減rincess鈥� in the title of a movie was too girly.

I鈥檓 still old-school enough to believe that 鈥淩apunzel鈥� is a fine title for a movie about, well, Rapunzel 鈥� although kids (or their parents) unfamiliar with the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale might mistake it for the name of a German techno-rock band or a gluten-free pretzel.

As Disney animated features go, 鈥淭angled鈥� is middling. Mandy Moore voices the girl with the 70-foot-long golden hair who is locked away in a tower in the forest with only a pet chameleon for a companion. Handsome suitors and wicked witches arrive on cue. A splash of blood at the end earned the film a PG rating, but it鈥檚 about as scary as a spilled can of tomato paste.

With any luck, 鈥淭angled鈥� won鈥檛 morph into a Broadway show. If it does, they should do the right thing and call it 鈥淩apunzel.鈥� Grade: C+ (Rated PG for brief mild violence.)
