Tangled: Rapunzel Lets Loose (A Spectrum of Reviews)

Tangled: Rapunzel Lets Loose

One of my favorite storybook characters was Rapunzel. Sure, she did pretty much nothing, aside from sitting in a tower. But that hair was mighty impressive. I used to put stockings on my head to simulate super-long hair. In fact, I was pretty good at wearing two at once to create an impressive braid. My favorite pair of tights to use for this purpose was dark red. Oh, to have long red hair!

Years later I did have super-long hair, but it was blonde. And then later when it was short, I dyed it red. Oh well.

Yes, the Rapunzel of my youth was beautiful, but passive. Conversely, the new film Tangled comes out November 24th, and stars a spunky, very-capable gal attached to those locks. Hey, I'd love to be kick-booty and have fabulous golden hair! (Okay, well I do have blonde hair, and am a Warrior.)

Alas, I'm not near any of the screening areas, so I have to wait until November 24th to watch the film, but in the meantime, here is one of the teasers for Tangled:

To get you in the groove, I'm hosting a giveaway where three (3) lucky readers will receive a Tangled T-shirt and a pack of Silly Bandz (oh yes, the banned bandz that still are the rage amongst our kids!)

To enter the drawing to get a Tangled T-shirt and pack of Silly Bandz:

1) Enter a comment below. For your first comment, answer the question "Who is your favorite fairy-tale character" For subsequent comments, tell me something about your storybook or fairy-tale character, or your relationship to fairy tales (Do your kids like the same characters you did as a child? Has your favorite changed as you've gotten older? etc...) You can leave one comment per day through Tangled's release date, Wednesday, November 24th at 6pm Pacific.

2) You may tweet about this giveaway for one extra entry per day. Recommended format is "I entered to win a Tangled prize pack from Disney and @KariDahlen : http://ow.ly/33nEW " Then just comment below with the URL of your tweet.

I'll select 3 (three) lucky winners via random.org and email them to obtain their shipping address (Please make sure your comment includes your email address!) Disney will then fulfill the prize using the addresses the winners provide. Good Luck!

I enjoy fairy tales as long as my daughter believes in them.

Kyla:

My favorite was always Ariel, though from the movie not the story...which was much darker and I never read as a child. Little Red Riding Hood was probably my favorite from-a-story fairy tale character.
