One of the things the Pony Defense Force on neoGAF always cites as why it's okay for boys to like girl things is the awesomeness of Tangled, which I'd never seen, so we rented it.
Um.
The blu-ray's on the xmas list now. Squee! Ahem.

I looooooove that movie. And not just because I totally have a thing about long hair and towers.

It's fun. The kiddo watched it on a flight, with headphones on, and let out shreiks of laughter whenever anything funny happened, so we'd kind of glance over to it and see Rapunsel doing her action hero Indiana Jones thing, and as happens with 4 year olds we've watched in half a dozen times since and we don't want to jump through the window at the sight of it or anything, so that's positive.
As Disney-things-that-are-good-but-not-Pixar go The Princess and the Frog is much, much better though.

I was sort of meh on the Princess and the Frog, and I'm sort of surprised I responded the way I did to Tangled; I don't generally get the PRINCESS response. But it occurs to me that it's very similar in structure to the Little Mermaid, with its theme of being cooped up and remaining immature past the age when others like you have been growing and exploring the world, and that speaks to me in a way it speaks to a lot of trannies.

Heh. I have somewhat related mom issues so I related to that. Not that my mom is evil or stole me or something, but I definitely feel tower-locked a lot.
