![]() 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. Readers who enjoy the Tangled series will spot some familiar characters but Lost Legends: The Rise of Flynn Rider is also a great stand alone story that opens up the Kingdom of Corona to new fans.It’s no secret that Tangled‘s Flynn Rider has been a favorite among Disney fans since his introduction in 2010. This book is so entertaining and is a great origin story that uses recognizable places and specific “Tangled” lore to give Eugene an exciting adventure as a tween. ![]() The evil tax collector is waiting for his payment and threatens Miss Claire with a shutdown which would leave the orphans without a home. You see, Eugene initially joins up with the circus to earn money to help Miss Claire and the orphanage stay afloat. I like the different view of Corona Lost Legends: The Rise of Flynn Rider brings, a kingdom still reeling from a lost princess and one that is focuses on the role of taxation of its people. In Lost Legends: The Rise of Flynn Rider, author Jen Calonita spins a fun adventure starting off with revealing some interesting news about Eugene- basically that he descends from royalty! This book has action, a fun scene with Rapunzel’s parents and fits perfectly in Flynn’s not so smoldering personality. When the Baron sets his sights on a special prize related to the missing princess, Eugene and Arnie must concoct a plan to thwart the Baron’s plan even if it puts them in danger! Joined by best friend Arnie, Eugene finds himself working for the Baron, a con artist who uses the circus as a front to steal from people who visit the circus. So when a circus comes to the Kingdom of Corona, Eugene changes his name to Flynn Rider and joins up- hoping to get some news about his parents. Even though he has a strong connection to the other orphans at Miss Claire’s orphanage, he wants adventure and to see the world.
