This is an animated telling of the Rapunzel story with some updates. She's locked in a tower by a seeming conniving witch, only to have visions of floating lights visit her every birthday. She's lived a life of isolation but when a thief turns up her life is thrown upside down. Heading out with the thief, she sets of events that relate to her capture and imprisonment. The story is far less problematic than for instance "Frozen", and as a whole it's more conflict-driven and has a better tone than "Cars". It's a good story, the kids enjoyed it for "movie night".
Recommended.
