[@kawaiinerd9240]

To be honest every time I watch this I feel like I just wanna punch mother gothel she's so evil and cruel with the twisted and manipulative things she does throughout the movie. I find Flynn aka Eugene to be kinda funny but instead of a smolder I prefer a smile 😁 lol.

[@hunterjenkins3453]

I couldn’t stand Mother Gothel in the movie Tangled. I thought that she was so evil and manipulative and I was so happy when she got killed off. I thought that Flynn Ryder was really funny in the movie but the smouldering did not impress me. My favorite Disney Animated movie right now are: Frozen/ Frozen 2 Coco Aladdin The Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ Beauty and the Beast Cinderella Etc.

The reason why this is called Tangled is great. Basically, after Princess and the Frog, Disney weren't happy that boys weren't watching the movies they marketed towards girls. So all they did, was change the move name from "Rapunzel" to "Tangled" and put Flynn on the poster. And boom it worked. Absolute Genius

[@Lilymaus3434]

As a German the "Gesundheit" always hit hard, making me laugh so hard because it's so common in Germany and sounds so off in English. Funfact Gothel is an old fashioned word for godmother, so if Rapunzel is referring to her as mother Gothel she is knowing she's not her real mother.

If you want to know in the original tales. Rapunzel wasn’t really kidnapped, but her parents gave her to the witch in exchange for the mother’s health and taking her magical plant by accident. In the original myth also Flinn was a prince who got Rapunzel pregnant and when Mother Gothel found out she abandoned Rapunzel in the woods to give birth alone and Flinn fell out of the tower landing on a rose bush and getting his eyes poked out. Rapunzel finds Flinn and uses magic powers of tears to heal him. It was a tale against teen pregnancy.

@@starsiadraws Spoilers alert too* I don't know how to put this into words but I'll try my best to elaborate. In my opinion, I don't think it was the last power of the sun drop since she was the literal sun drop but only when the sun drop (kinda looks like the moonstone but yellow) has been pulled out to her by zhan tiri. Also the fusion of the sun drop and moon stone in the finale, you can see it. Meaning the hair wasn't the sun drop but she was, the hair was one way to show it. And to prove it, the Tangled: Before Ever After movie. She had awaken the moonstone rocks or black rocks because she was connected to it and gaining back her hair, meaning it was not her last power of her hair but she was the actual sun drop. And if you were saying it was the last magic of the sun drop's healing, maybe not, because she could still possibly heal in tears or other forms from her body and with the sun drop within her of course. For the reason she wasn't able to heal with her hair in the series is because it was not her birth hair which had a power of healing. And it was not also the last time she used the healing power because she saved Cass with it by holding onto the fused gem.

So the wife asked the husband to go into the garden for some rampion (which is also called rapunzel!) and he did, and got caught by the witch. The witch said, I'll let you live, but I'll take your kid in exchange! She took the child when she was born and actually DID love her, but was still too controlling. A prince stole into the tower after hearing her singing from below, and they fell in love. She was going to run away with him, but before they could escape, the witch found out and in the end the prince ended up blind and wandered the desert for a few years. Meanwhile, Rapunzel was pregnant, and gave birth to twins. She escaped the tower with them and found the prince, and cried onto his face and his eyes were healed. The end. 🤣 (I may have skipped some stuff!)

It's great becaus Eugene goes on a journey to learn selflessness while Rapunzel learns freedom. And they both find a place to belong. ALSO, they have a really great 2D animated movie (Tangled: Before Ever After) that kicked off an epic 3 season series that fits between Rapunzel's return to the castle and her adjustments to life as a princess and her engagement to Eugene, complete with Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi returning to their main roles and music by Alan Menken himself. It's really awesome and full of lore surrounding the Sundrop Flower, the magic of her hair, and other magic in the kingdom. And it solidifies Rapunzel and Eugene as #1 BEST Disney couple. Eugene Slander is DISALLOWED.

The fact that Gothel was manipulative, she didn’t just act evil. That makes it even scarier, cause this way abused person doesn’t know what to feel. In real life it can lead to an abused person feeling worthless, thinking they are loved cause of some kind actions thus deciding to continue living with the manipulator / abuser. And when trying to find comfort from other people it’s hard to explain why they feel like the other person abuses them, other people also might think that they complain without a reason. Manipulation abuse is scary. Gothel acts nice to her and let’s her have a birthday only for rapunzel to think she is actually cared for, so she believes it is necessary to stay with her

[@lesbiangoddess290]

Its giving me emotional abuse vibes and honestly it was so well done

[@jimin-ssi7256]

@@lesbiangoddess290 exactly. And notice how Eugene even doesn’t think her situation is awful, cause rapunzel really when complaining to him says: my mom loves me, she just is scared to let me out cause she cares about me. And many people be like that: yes they feed me, give me place to stay, say they loves me, how can I make people realize I feel abused? And this what actually happens behind closed doors

[@Tooba-K123]

That's so freaking true cause I can relate to it so much. I spent so many years alone at home. My mother would get angry whenever I tried to ask of I can go outside. She wouldn't act evil bit would give such an stern look that it's scary. Once I finally went to a school trip but when some girls asked me to pick their things I felt so much bullied that I almost had an anxiety attack and I also I kept thinking whether mother is fine at home and not getting angry.

"Mother Ethel must have a whole nother family" *Flashbacks to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure*

[@alexroberts2421]

Originally, in the Brothers Grimm story, the mother was craving rapunzel leaves in the witch's garden. The father stole some and the witch caught him. So, she let him have the lettuce. But when he robs the witch a second time, she said she'll let him have the lettuce, but when the baby is born, he has to give up the baby. Yeah, Rapunzel's parents gave up their daughter to the witch for lettuce.

[@gatorgirl1720]

See i read an interpretation of rapunzel that said rapunzel means radishes. It was very strange

[@Hiya1212]

I saw a version were it was tea leaves (similar to the Disney version but not exactly no [no Flynn or anything then it just followed the og plot line])

[@oluchichimara1774]

The lettuce was because the mom was dying, not just because she was craving it

[@kyrstinyoung2170]

Okay, I pulled out my copy of Grimm’s Complete Fairy’s Tales and basically, it says that the garden was known to belong to “an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the world.” The Mother saw rampion (another name for rapunzel) and she had the “greatest desire to eat some.” Her desire for it increased every day and she pined away, becoming “pale and miserable.” Her husband is concerned (obvs) and she tells him she shall die if she doesn’t get some rampion. “Sooner than let thy wife die, bring her some of the rampion thyself, let it cost thee what it will.” He stole it, and her craving for it increased threefold the next day. “If he was to have any rest, her husband must once more descend into the garden... when he had clambered down the wall, he was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him.” She asks how he could steal from her and says he’ll suffer for it. He asks for mercy as he only did it out of necessity for his wife to keep her from dying from longing for the rampion. “Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him,’“If thou case be as thou sayest, I will allow thee to take away with thee as much rampion as thou wilt, only I make one condition, thou must give me the child... it shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother.’ The man in his terror consented to everything...” TLDR: So yeah, her mom had such an intense craving that it was killing her to not have any and in terror, her husband agreed with the enchantress to give her their baby in exchange for as much rampion as his wife could eat and mercy on them for stealing. (I didn’t mean for this to be so long but I love fairy tales 😅)

Tangled is not only one of the best Disney features but it's also one of the best written because it actually offers a script with two protagonists. Both Eugene and Rapunzel are the protagonists of the story.

[@gayaast167]

'Flynn' is his pretend character and the real Eugene is actually super sweet, caring and a freaking gentleman (i admit part of Flyn still lives in him but still!). You can really see his character develop further in Tangled: The Series !! (It happens between the film and the canon short where they get married). Keep up the good work!

Something I just noticed is the detail in his eye when he wakes up after being hit with a frying pan on the floor. His pupil is bigger right when he opens his eyes but then gets smaller.

Fun fact for my very observant Tangled fans: Repunzel’s kidnapping started the lantern tradition. The king and queen were hoping the light from the lanterns would lead the lost princess home. And during the song “I Can See The Light” the lantern that the king and queen let go has the sun ☀️ on it and it’s seen that it’s the only one with the sun ☀️ ... the lantern Repunzel saves from getting wet was the one her mother and father let go for her ... very touching
