A stunning, beautiful, charming, funny, and great animated feature of contemporary Disney, “Tangled” is a movie for everyone. Yes, this is a fairy tale. A Fairy tale with a widely famous plot (I’m talking about the Brothers’ Grimm original “Rapunzel”). However this version should make the original proud.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical when I walked into the movie theater. I didn’t really know what to look forward to. You see, “Tangled” is Disney’s first CGI animated feature that got a PG rating, so I instantly felt that there has to be something different about this whole experience.

The plot of “Tangled” is very well thought through, literally to the last detail. It has everything: genuinely funny sense of humor (not rude or offensive), a wonderful romance storyline, magic songs, and just wonderfully portrayed characters. The story is predictable (well, we’re talking about a cartoon here), but it’s still very charming. The story is simple. Rapunzel is a princess who has magic hair that is able to heel and keep anyone young. Once upon a time she was kidnapped by an old witch who locked her away in a tower.

The witch (Mother Gospel) wanted to keep the girl’s hair all to herself. However, while Rapunzel grows up thinking that the witch is her real mother, her real parents, the King and the Queen, do not give up hope of finding their daughter. Each year, on the princess’s birthday, the kingdom sends thousands of lanterns into the sky only hoping that their lost princess would return. On her 18th Birthday, Rapunzel asks her mother to go out and see the floating lights, but Mother Gospel forbids her to even think of that. As she puts it, the outside world is full of dangers and evil people.

I do not want to give away the entire plot, but I’ll just say one thing – fairy tales always have a happy ending. Even though I’m not a huge fan of CGI and 3D, I must say that the movie visually is stunningly beautiful. Especially the lantern scene with Rapunzel and Flynn. I honestly think it’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen on screen. The lights, the music, everything. Oh, and about the music. I had no idea Mandy Moore (Rapunzel’s voice) has such an amazing voice. She was the perfect match.

As the speakers built into your PC are never usually of the best quality, it is a good idea to take a look into purchasing external PC speakers. External speakers will enhance the quality of your music, as well as the sound of films and games. There are many types of speakers to choose from, with an abundance of different makes and models. Some of the points to look out for when considering PC speakers, are detailed below:

Budget – Prior to beginning your search for your speakers, you should consider the available budget you have to spend. You can buy speakers for little over £10, but it obviously depends on the quality you are expecting from them. The top quality speakers will cost you over £100, but cheaper versions can still enhance the quality of your sound.

Sub woofer – It is important to ensure that the sub woofer contained within your PC speakers is of high quality, as this will give you that quality ‘bassy’ sound, which will make your music much more enjoyable. It will give you the sensation of being in a club, but in the comfort of your own home. A sub woofer of 9W should be sufficient, but again it depends on what you are looking for. PC speakers will require a sub woofer to make them worth buying, although a good bass will also do the trick.

Media Type – Mostly, you will find that the media type includes two speakers, but you can have more if this is required. Two speakers will be enough to get a good overall sound quality, and won’t take up too much space on your desk. Satellite speakers are the best type of speakers to buy, as they will produce a higher quality of sound. You should look for 360 degree sound, as this means you will feel it throughout the whole room.

Output Power – The higher the output power, the better the sound quality. PC speakers with a watt of 10 will produce good quality sound, but the higher this is, the better the quality.

Style – Choose a style to match the feel of your home. There are many styles to choose from in PC speakers, and the sleeker the better. A colour to match your PC will make it even more attractive, and the more compact, the more space the speakers will save.
