ita, the answer to that is yes, and sort of, although a magical tear revives one of the dead.
I loved Tangled. Much more charming than I expected.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

What the hell have I seen Jason Flemyng in? He looks & sounds damn familiar.
I note in passing that Riptide is a stupid name for a guy who does tornadoes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tep, I second Plei's rec on Tangled, with a side of minor trigger warning: if you've recently had a run-in where your mom pushed any or all of the hot-buttons she spent your childhood installing, best not to see it right that minute.

YES YES YES.
Speaking of cathartic animated movies, the other day my Dad decided that the best movie for him to watch was UP. He says he's fine. I was kind of gobsmacked. In terms of movies I am not going to watch for a while after Mom's death, UP is kinda near the top, along with Big Fish.
