Tangled Up In Loo
I titled today's cartoon 'Tangled Up In Loo' a musical pun (Bob Dylan) on Rapunzel in the bathroom. However there are two problems with that: firstly it's about a shower and secondly for an international blog I'm not sure how universal the term is.
So this is my second Rapunzel/Tangled cartoon and this time it's based upon me actually going to see the movie with my daughter. It's a decent effort by Disney but I don't understand why Rapunzel doesn't spend the entire movie going 'Owww' given how much her hair gets tugged and how much my own offspring scream if you even take out a hair clip wrong never mind swing on their hair, beat up baddies or use it as a elevator.
On the whole hair in the shower thing I'm quite cool with women having at least one foible otherwise they'd be perfect and my gender would have no comeback when we leave the loo seat up for the n-teenth time.

Tescoed: Rapunzel and Internet Groceries
There's a new Princess in town as Disney's movie Tangled hits these shores and soon Rapunzel will appear besides the traditional trinity of princesses (Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White) on all sorts of merchandise. Only the womenfolk in my household saw it (until it is on DVD) and so I'm forced instead to cartoon on the difficulties of being locked in a tower with long hair and getting your groceries over the Internet.

Snow White The Handsome Prince and the Seven Dwarfs
Following on from my Sleeping Beauty cartoon comes the Happily Ever After of Snow White.
My young daughter is into princesses and so everything in my world is pretty princesses and handsome princes. Sometimes however I feel more like the seven dwarfs.
ps. Why is it dwarfs not dwarves? Google and Disney favour Dwarfs but surely the English language with the support of linguist Tolkein should properly be dwarves.
Coming soon ... Advent and Christmas cartoons past and present

Cinderella (Happily Ever After)
Tonight is Children in Need but in my current sleep deprivation I'm proposing a new telethon "Parents In Need" in which members of the public can sponser my kids to sleep through the night (beyond 6am).
