Here comes the smolder.įlynn Rider- This is kind of an off-day for me. Your thoughts?įlynn Rider- You should know that this is the strangest thing I’ve ever done!įlynn Rider- … How ’bout best two out of three?įlynn Rider- No… no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is bad, this is very very bad, this is really bad… They just can’t get my nose right!įlynn Rider- Well, it’s easy for you to say…įlynn Rider- … You guys look amazing.įlynn Rider- All right, listen! I didn’t want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. I don’t know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. What are you getting? Because to me, that’s part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. He’s like the animated Han Solo of great line delivery.įlynn Rider- You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose.įlynn Rider: Really let that seep in. Don’t get me wrong, I love men with humility, but this very real character flaw of Flynn’s was fresh and hilarious.įlynn Rider has just got some great, very quotable lines, and his delivery could not be more perfect. And he’s not afraid to admit it.Īll Disney princes are gloriously beautiful (hold back the dimples, Eric, we can’t handle dimples that deep), but none of them ever acknowledge it.įlynn knows how gorgeous he is, and he completely uses that to his advantage. This moment was huge for his character development and setup for that glorious sacrificial scene at the end of the movie. It opened the door for Flynn to soften his heart and let a new, golden dream in. The reveal of Eugene Fitzherbert, the orphan boy who loved the book about Flynnigan Rider was precious and compelling. I think Disney is starting to get the picture that maybe we want interesting men and women characters, it has been announced that Prince Charming will be getting his own backstory made into a live action film Very few Disney men are given interesting backstories, they are more the eye candy for whatever princess is doing her thing. (5) He has a deeply compelling backstory. (4) He doesn’t SING, not on his own initiative anyway. (3) Again, he’s not really sure about these hyper-intelligent animals. (2) He didn’t fall in love at first sight. He tries to discourage Rapunzel from following her dream so that he can fulfill his sooner. His only goal for the beginning of the movie is to get that crown and make a fortune. More on that another time.įlynn stole a crown and left his partners in crime to the hangman’s noose. *For the record, I adore Aladdin as a character and his movie is my favorite of the older, Disney “princess” movies. Yes, I know Aladdin also fits this qualifications, but Aladdin was immediately more selfless to start than Flynn is. (1) He’s a thief, not a prince, general, or warrior. His facial expressions are just amazing, and with the slightest tweak of an eyebrow he completely changes the mood.Īnd what is the top Flynn Rider facial expression? I don’t really need to answer that for you, because we all know. I always say about Tangled, “They told an entire story using eyebrows.”īy far the most prominent eyebrows belong to the one and only Flynn Rider. The facial expressions in this movie are just amazing. Pixar had been doing this kind of amazing animation for a long time now, and I think it is greatly due to Pixar’s involvement in this project that it turned out so well. While many beautiful and charming movies had been made before it, Tangled introduced a finer 3D level of animation to the big studio. Tangled really ushered in a new era for Disney. Today, let’s just enjoy a few of the primary reasons that we all love Flynn Rider. I could go into greater depth about the brilliance and complexities of his character, but I’ll save that for a later date. He wasn’t just a pretty face (let’s be honest, though, he is incredibly pretty), there was so much more to his character. He was one of the key elements that made Tangled a level above it’s predecessor Disney movies.įlynn really broke out of the mold of boring and backstory-less Disney men and is really one of the most engaging characters to date. It’s no secret that Tangled‘s Flynn Rider has been a favorite among Disney fans since his introduction in 2010.
