Movie Review: Tangled (2010)
In an update of a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Disney pulled out all
of the stops with animation and song, creating one of the best plain old Disney films since Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King.

Well, as of March 31, 2011, with the release of version 3.3.3 of the Twitter app the QuickBar is no more!
