Rapunzel is the tenth official Disney princess and is the heroine of the movie “Tangled.” This is one of our personal favorite Disney princess movies, as we find it charming and funny all at the same time!
Tangled was released on November 24, 2010. It reportedly cost $260 million dollars to make, which makes this movie the most expensive animated film of all time. This movie was the most successful Disney animated movie since The Lion King.
Tangled Movie Summary
Rapunzel’s hair has magical healing powers that come to life when Rapunzel sings. Mother Gothel wants Rapunzel’s magic for her own use, so she kidnaps Rapunzel when she is a baby and keeps her locked up in a tower and hidden from the world.
One day, Flynn Ryder, a thief, uses the tower as a place of refuge and meets Rapunzel. Rapunzel ends up running away from the tower with Flynn with the goal of seeing the floating lanterns that are sent up every year on her birthday.
Mother Gothel wants to get Rapunzel back before the magic wears off and she turns into an old woman. Will Mother Gothel find Rapunzel? Will Rapunzel find out that she is actually a princess? What will happen to Flynn?
