That worked for Hoodwinked and the Little Red Riding Hood story, and of course, Shrek kind of turns a lot of fairy tales on their head. But Tangled comes across as a pretty straight reading of the classic tale. I guess there’s room for that, too, but then why not just call it Rapunzel?

Seeing Joe Johnston’s films listed and analysed is interesting, but also leaves me a little confused with how I feel about the Captain America movie. What do you think? Will he be able to do Steve Rogers’ journey justice? What do you think of today’s movie news?
