Tangled

The last animation I saw was Tangled , a comedy Disney film released in 2011.

The Plot

The story follows Rapunzel, a young girl who was kept in a tower by Mother Gothel, a witch who kidnapped Rapunzel from her parents when she was a baby and locked her in a tower, leading Rapunzel to believe that Mother Gothel is her biological mother.
 Once a year, on her birthday, lanterns are released which leads Rapunzel to question the purpose of the lanterns. On her 18th birthday, Flynn Rider, a thief, stumbles upon her while trying to escape from guards. While Mother Gothel is out gathering food, Rapunzel sees this as her opportunity to asks Flynn to take her to see the lanterns explore the world for the first time.
