![]() ![]() And then they go away to some kingdom or other and live happily ever after.Īs you can see, Tangled isn't much like the original tale, but I really liked how they interwove some elements into the story (like her tears and singing). They find each other and two of Rapunzel's tears fall into his eyes and cure them. The prince wanders around and hears her singing. Rapunzel is living in the desert and gives birth to twins. He falls and injures his eyes (I think he falls on a briar patch or something like that). In a rage she cuts off the hair, Rapunzel is sent away.the prince comes that night, the witch uses Rapunzel's hair to let him up and then she pushes him out. From that one comment, the witch somehow figures out that a man had been in the tower and that Rapunzel was pregnant. Months go by again and Rapunzel (being the naive girl she is) asks the witch to loosen her dress since it's too tight around the middle. And then we have the whole "let down your hair" blah, blah, blah.she sings so beautifully that a prince climbs up to see her.here's the part I like: the prince likes Rapunzel so much that the next day he brings a priest with him to the tower and has the priest marry them. On Rapunzel's twelfth birthday, the witch takes her to a tower with no doors and only one window, but the tower is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside so Rapunzel lives quite well. The witch names the girl Rapunzel after the plant and takes the little girl far away. The witch comes to take her away and though the man and his wife beg and plead with her she holds them to the bargain. When he returns to his wife, she doesn't care about the witch, she just eats the rapunzel. To pay for his thievery, the man had to promise to give the child to the witch after she was born. So the husband climbed the wall and picked a bunch of rapunzel for his wife. The wife craved the rapunzel to the point where she became ill and told her husband to get her some or she would die. The wife would look out her window into the garden and see the plants growing there-one of which was rapunzel. Now, they lived next door to a witch with a garden surrounded by a high wall. Anyway, he's poor) and his wife became pregnant. Once upon a time there was a man (who is either a carpenter or a baker, I forget which. The original Rapunzel tale goes something like this (although since there are so many variations it can be hard to figure out which came first): I've seen so many different versions of the fairy tale, I don't even know what the original one is like. ![]() I wonder how close it is to the original Rapunzel story. I'd buy it something I don't say about very many stories. ![]() The rest of the songs were pretty forgettable.Įnjoyable movie. I liked the song she sings to light up her hair. (Usually, in most movies I see with that cliche scenrio, the girl ends up being this tough girl who wants as much respect as guys, etc., and so she's some kind of match for his ego.) So that made it a bit more fresh. Plus the fact that Rapunzel was very sweet and small. But I think the humor of Flynn Rider saved it this time. I always hate when people go for that in stories. The whole "Scalliwag guy who thinks he's all that meets girl who doesn't fall for his charm, but they end up falling in love anyway" scenario has been way over done. Just a little too much.īut the whole Flynn/Rapunzel story was very sweet. Like when someone is alone, and they start singing a big musical number, and randomly, out of nowhere, appears an orchestra and grand staircase, and a spotlight. I wasn't really a fan of the random burts into song back when they were used in classic Disney movies, and I'm even less of a fan of them today. I loved all the parts involving Flynn and Repunzel. I just watched Tangled for the first time tonight. ![]()
