Other bonuses include three deleted scenes (including the saloon scene without a musical number but with a� poetry festival? Plus a never-seen character� a fortune telling monkey!), two alternate prologues (featuring the traditional �Disney storybook�) and two extended song sequences, for Rapunzel�s �I Want� song �When Will My Life Begin� and Mother Gothel�s villain number, �Mother Knows Best� (but not the film�s Oscar-nominated love balled �I See the Light�, soon to be heard at a Disney fan�s wedding near you). These are all introduced by the film�s directors, Nathan Greno and Byron Howard.

Filling out the rest of the disc is a number of online promotional videos that were released around the film�s opening, most notably the �50th Animated Feature Countdown�. This short features just that, a countdown through the years, from #1 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to #50 Tangled, of all of the �official� Disney animated features. The rest of the videos are mostly spoofs of such TV fare as perfume commercials (for �Smolder by Flynn�), breaking news reports (of a high-speed chase involving a �white bronco�) and vintage educational films. Fans can also catch up with our hero�s early adventures with three episodes of �Flynn�s Tangled Tales�.

Toon Talk Rating: B

Coming Soon:

  • Two Pixar classics, The Incredibles and Cars, make their Disney Blu-ray debuts (April 12).
  • High School Musical�s resident diva breaks out on her own in Sharpay�s Fabulous Adventure (April 19, Disney DVD and Blu-ray).
  • April 22 is Earth Day, so that means the next Disney Nature documentary in theaters. This year�s feature: African Cats.
