Tangled.

Have you seen Tangled?

 

I finally watched it (thank you Netflix Instant) because I heard that so many people liked it.
I. Was. Horrified.
Seriously… a girl with “magic hair” escapes from a tower where she has been held captive by a woman she believes is her own mother.
The most important piece of information is that when she leaves the tower, with a MAN, she is seventeen years old.  Of course, she turns eighteen the following day, but by then she’s practically ready to marry the guy, ahem, man.
Which, naturally, she does.
I’m sorry, but there are so many things wrong with this.
1.  Her beautiful hair turns brown and stops growing when the magic is gone.
2.  Flynn (her “hero” and husband-to-be) is a convict on the run.
3.  Her “mom” mentions that she’s getting fat through a witty song.
4.  Did I mention that she’s SEVENTEEN?
I really try to to avoid outright proclaiming my opinions on matters such as this, but I really could not believe that this is something a child would watch.  Ever.  Under any context.
Have you seen it?  What did you think of it?
