This is my favourite Disney movie ever made. You really need to watch the show but first watch Tangled Before Ever After and then watch the Show Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure. In the show there are two characters named Cassandra and Varian and cause their voice actors are Broadway stars you might recognise their voices. But mostly when they sing

[@Buffy8Fan]

_Beauty and the Beast_ is NOT about Stockholm Syndrome. While Belle is originally a captive, she runs away the moment things get rough, and chooses to stay when Beast saves her life. During the captive part of the story she is even given agency to go anywhere in the castle except his private quarters. Gaston is trying to control Belle while Beast slowly learns genuine connection. At best it should be argued that Beast has Lima Syndrome, which is defined as: a psychological response where a captor or abuser forms a positive connection with a victim. And even that may be seen as pushing it considering how quickly he lets her out of the tower dungeon and starts trying to form that connection. Sorry, I think _Beauty and the Beast_ being said to be about Stockholm Syndrome may be a bit of a triggering topic for me. Didn't intened to rant.

Did I mumble…..MOTHER?? god I love when she claims her power back

[@westerfrost3701]

“Or should I even call you that?”

[@nightfeathers]

My favorite detail from this movie is the way Eugene and Gothel interact with her hair. When Gothel says I love you, she's always looking at and touching Rapunzel's hair. When Eugene says it he moves her hair out of the way so he can see her face.

[@SingingPhoenixWriter]

Making Gothel realistically evil is the right way to go with all future villains

[@pamelawilliams3144]

Started with Frollo... Now that was a realistic villian.

[@bunnybustard5526]

@@pamelawilliams3144 I always forget about him but yeah, he's definitely unfortunately realistic as all heck.

[@wtimmins]

In the pantheon of Disney witches, Mother Gothel has the least actual magic power... and is the most diabolical and frightening.

[@bunnybustard5526]

She's the most frightening because she's the most likely to actually exist. 🥲

[@djarinriduur]

@@bunnybustard5526 This is the same reason Frollo is one of the scariest villains. He’s just a creepy old guy in a position of power. The scariest thing in the world.

[@Michelle-DiPalo]

I get instant tears the moment Rapunzel's parents are shown before the lantern scene. The idea that they've been doing that for 18 years never knowing if she'll return breaks my heart every time. Then, add on that their lantern actually teachers her? Forget about it 😢

[@pamelawilliams3144]

Thats my favorite scene. Not a single word has to be spoken, and you know exactly what they're feeling. Beautifully done.

[@HinataElyonToph]

I’ve said this before but I know it takes a toll especially on the King. You can tell that he’s thinking “I wish we had never found that blasted flower…” but then he looks up and sees the Queen sadly smiling at him and then he thinks “but if we hadn’t…then you wouldn’t be here…”

[@ashleighmodglin]

So idk if anyone has already commented this, but the lantern that rapunzel lifts back up before it reaches the water was her parents. It’s the only one with the royal crest on it. I love the symbolism, like her parents have just been sinking, almost burning out, all these years but she’s finally here to lift them back up again.

[@Beeba10]

20:49 I love seeing people's reactions to "Did I mumble, Mother?", everyone (rightly) is always like "HELL YEAH, TELL HER"

[@BGTitanAvatar]

One of my favorite details in the movie is when Gothel falls through the window Rapunzel still reaches out for her. Because she did genuinely love her for 18 years of her life, Gothel was her whole world as horrible as she was. So she still reaches out, despite now realizing how evil she was. I’m so glad they added that shot. Also, the short scene of the parents right before they release the laterns is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Disney despite neither of them saying a word.

[@serahne]

I love this details too ! Make me think of Quasimodo almost dying to save Frollo in the Hunchback ! It's hard to hate abusive parents, even when you know they're abusive.

[@serenitymoon825]

It reminds me of every time I've run into my abusive mother's arms every time she's gone on a trip

[@veemonfan8102]

You know Disney has made a hit when they hire Broadway stars for their movie

[@trenae77]

well to be honest they've done it for years :D The Singing voice of Pocahontas - Judy Kuhn - was a Tony Recipient.

[@tomleonard830]

She's held captive in a tower. So it's not just a VERBALly abusive relationship.

[@kavtoM]

Textbook example of gaslighting. Mother Gothel is terrifying.

[@dlweiss]

Donna Murphy DID the damn thing as Mother Gothel! Such a vocal powerhouse, and she really conveys such depths of condescension and contempt. Great reaction. :)

[@ashleighmodglin]

There’s a reason people call this movie “Gaslighting: The Musical”

[@ten5h1]

The lantern scene has me bawling EVERY SINGLE TIME. Especially when you see how heartbroken her parents are. After her, they probably COULDN’T have another child. Headcanon is that he’s telling this story to their child(ren). Oh any kid(s) they have will be super spoiled by Rapunzel’s mom and dad.

[@marieangels6]

No they couldn't cuz it was said they struggled hard to even have Rapunzel

[@Tm-dn9ob]

genuinely recommend the show they made as a sequel... they kept the origonal cast and so much love and thought went into expanding the characters and world

[@Logan-s7d]

The fact that they never stopped lighting the lanterns in honor of her and she saw them every year and never knew they were for her😢😢 ugh that is so sad!

[@dragonreader3817]

One of the best Disney movies. One of the few if not the only one where both parents are alive. 😂

[@BrienBellJTS]

“I See The Light” hits so much different in context. Glad you can appreciate the whole film, it’s honestly one of the best Disney films of the last 30 years-which is saying a lot!

[@DramaticallyCreative]

Mother Knows Best is always about singing to her hair especially ehen she nicknamed her My Flower

[@morganjones2744]

I'm so glad you watched this! I am so sorry it was triggering for you, I know i've watched stuff that have been triggering for me have been for me, too. tho, there is also something touching and comforting about a story with a happy ending that showcases unpleasant things. Tangled Is one of my favorite Disney movies. The relationship is truly heart breaking, and I appreciated that Disney wasn't afraid to showcase this kind of abusive relationship.

[@lop90ful1]

Tangled is amazing and the cartoon is also really good with amazing songs

[@Momma_Stina]

I love that Rapunzel and Flynn show up in Frozen :)

[@heatherkane5913]

This came out right as I was struggling with a crazy boss who was gaslighting me. I finally got out of this abusive job but this movie really shined a light on what was happening to me!

[@TheSofres]

I saw this movie for the first time in 2011 at Disney World. We were camping and they played it outside. It was April and so nice and warm. The moon was out and the sky was lit with stars. It’s been my most favourite along with Enchanted. ❤

[@j.s.viewer3923]

Mother Gothel could have made life so much easier by applying to be Rapunzel’s Nanny/Governess. Could brush her hair any time she wanted it without living like a fugitive. But, her panicked impulse (and evil brain) won out.

[@Fernsketch]

She wasn’t even planning to steal a baby that night. She just wanted a lock of hair. And you’re so right actually, with how manipulative she is, she probably could’ve gotten a job at the palace.

[@j.s.viewer3923]

@@Fernsketch Exactly. After the hair died in her hand, I think she just panicked and grabbed her, which in a way is surprising considering how manipulative she is. I feel like she easily could have calculated her way into a job close to the Princess if she hadn’t panicked in that moment.

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

@@j.s.viewer3923so interesting to think about it could’ve played out. Considering Gothel had a daughter that was a few years older than Repunzle, I wonder if she would have been eligible to be a governess? Or maybe Cass and Repunzle wouldve grown up together and still become friends. Wild.

[@j.s.viewer3923]

@@shadamyandsonamylover oh interesting! I never watched the TV show so I didn’t know about Gothel’s daughter. I’m assuming that’s where that plot line comes from?

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

@@j.s.viewer3923 whoops…sorry 😅 I didnt mean to spoil. On that note - you should totally watch the series! There’s a short film that acts at the first episode and then followed by the 3 season show. It’s phenomenal and has some of the best songs. Particularly a song in season 3 is so good because the singers actually came together to record in studio to get the exact dynamic. I recommend this show to everyone. It is genuinely one of the best “children’s” shows that I think holds up to an older audience and deals with a ton of mature themes. It gets better with multiple rewatches, so once you finish watch it again with your friends and family!

[@samanthaautumn8417]

The lantern scene is a freaking masterpiece!!! SO SO stunning!! My favourite scene in ALL the Disney movies ... PERIOD! ❤️

[@kpednault]

I never understood why Gothel kept Rapunzel's same birthday, not very bright on her part

[@carmen_says_hi]

My head cannon is that one day, Rapunzel asked her when her birthday was and Gothel absentmindedly told her while she was focused on something else.

[@marneebragg9839]

My head canon is that it is another layer of abuse. Kind of like when people keep trophies after the hurt someone, she "keeps" the birthday to twist the knife more. She also gets to "keep something away from" Rapunzel by letting her see the lanterns but denying her access to them.

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

@@carmen_says_hiI think this is the most likely answer. Considering Gothel doesnt want to celebrate Repunzle’s bday saying “no no your bday was last year” definitely feels like she was not intentionally letting her know. And with how prideful Gothel is, she probably didn’t want to “correct” herself to her daughter so she never said “oh whoops my mistake”.

[@dante_marco]

Girl I can’t believe I just cried with you😭

[@DoranGale]

And then you get out of those situations/relationships, open up to someone and hear, “That can’t be true. I’m not saying you’re lying, but is there a chance you’re remembering a nightmare you had?” Or worse: “Stop playing the victim. You’re so manipulative.” Flower petals fall Each a memory Let the truth within Pour out for all to see Petals turn to stones Pave the road for me Far beyond all doubt The truth will set me free Set us free 🥀🕊️

[@BliffleSplick]

There seems to be an underlying theme of healing the family hurts / generational trauma in the last few years, especially with Coco and Encanto

[@meghangerhart643]

Frozen 2 and Moana are very much about that as well. Unhealthy family dynamics and generational trauma need to be explored in honest, open ways, especially to kids who may be going through those same things and not understanding what’s happening. They can feel seen, validated, and given hope, as well as planting the seed to try to break/heal that cycle of abuse/trauma.

[@dragonseer2251]

my favorite song is Mother Knows Best, but the song in the movie was cut and left out a couple lines. "Go ahead, get trampled by a Rhino! Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead! me, I'm just your mother, what do I know? I only bathed, and changed, and nursed you. Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it, just let me die alone here, be my guest! but when it's too late, you'll see, just wait mother knows best"

[@mallorymyers7525]

I adore Tangled. There's actually a contemporary romance novel inspired by Tangled, and it's really good. It has the same light humor and dark family themes. And Ryder's car is named Max. It has the biker bar scene. It's great. "Tangled Up In You" by Christina Lauren.

This my favourite film of all time!!! I'm so excited that you finally get to watch it!!!

[@yowhoevenami]

If you can find it, you should totally watch the short that disney made about their wedding! It helps tie it all together in a cute little bow and also helps continue the story. Tangeled is my favorite disney princess movie! Rapunzel and Mother Gothel’s relationship is very similar to mine and my mother’s. Thankfully, I no longer have any contact with her. My boyfriend is my Flynn Ryder/Eugene. He’s a dorky, awkward mess, but he would for sure take a stab wound for me. He even told me that if I ever run into my mother again, he’d come as fast as he could to help me get away from her because he knows that I almost fainted when I saw her in public almost 2 years ago and he knows how she is. We’ve known each other for 12+ years and we’ve been together for almost 5 months. Similar to Flynn, he was attracted to me when we first met in 2nd grade. I was his first crush, and that crush lingered all those years until I finally realized that I felt the same way almost that whole time. My story is so similar to Tangeled, it’s crazy. I think that’s why I love this movie so much - but also because it’s just so good!! I also had really long hair that went past my bum until I cut it when I was little, so it really does match up well😂

[@Itsjustjazzduh]

Speaking of big eyes.. your eyes are gorgeous! So big and I’m presuming green but they look like they change with what you wear if it’s blue or grey. Funny cause you have lighter hair and you’re wearing the Same color as Rapunzel with the green eyes too. Twinning!

when I watched the movie for the first time, i missed the first chunk of it so that i missed the whole setup. I remember that gothel not being her actual mother was a huge plot twist to me. i just thought she had a terrible mother. for context: i was like 8 back then. but seriously i love watching your reactions!! Its so wonderful to see you experience this beautiful movie for the first time

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

I don’t know if you watch tv shows, but there is a Tangled TV show that goes even more into the dynamics of what happens to Repunzle between her reuniting with her parents and marrying Eugene. Mother Gothel as a theme of abuse stays within the show and imo it goes very deep into toxic positivity, ptsd, trauma, and other aspects of life that make it a must see.

[@samanthaarana2960]

Not the "la la la" after sobbing lol. This movie and Hunchback of Notre Dame are both excellent examples of Stockholm Syndrome, both from supposed parental figures. Beauty and the Beast is less so - she doesn't start falling in love with him until he saves her life and then starts taking active steps to be kind to her. I saw on Tumblr once that it's actually a better example of Lima Syndrome, and I agree with that.

[@bullen9878]

👉IF U SEE THIS COMMENT and really liked Tangled. I strongly advise you to go and watch Tangled the Series. The series features new songs from the Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. Not only that, they kept Zachary Levi(Flynn Rider) and Mandy Moore(Rapunzel) in the series as well. And they also brought in two more extremley talented singers, Eden Espinosa and Jeremy Jordan. One thing you should know is that the series is a bit childish compared to the movie(u won't notice it) and that it's animated. But if you really liked the Tangled movie and the story I beileve you'll enjoy it either way. Here's the correct order to watch it➡➡ 1. Tangled 2010, IMDb Rating: 7,7/10 2. Tangled: Before Ever After 2017(Movie), IMDb Rating: 6,5/10 3. Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure 2017(Tangled the Series), IMDb Rating: 7,7/10 4. Tangled Ever After 2012, IMDb Rating: 7,5/10

[@theultimategoosebumpsman7220]

Since you loved the movie so much, I would highly recommend that you check out the show. It is an incredible continuation of the movie taking place between Rapunzel's return to the kingdom and her and Eugene's wedding. The entire movie cast returned to work on the show, along with many Broadway legends voicing some of the new characters (including Eden Espenoza and Jeremy Jordan). The music in the show is also incredible. Alan Menkin and Glenn Slater (the songwriters in the movie) came back to make all of the new songs for the show, and I would actually argue that the show's songs rival, if not surpass, the songs from the movie. Also, you already hate Gothel now, but the show makes you hate her even more.

[@maddisonmarrufo6430]

This is literally my style of a very good villain because this is the attitude that works because my feelings is the best way to go if someone knows how to mess with my feelings because then we’ll done because I know a friend of mine that has that kind of attitude it works every time because now they got me now because now I just got emotional it really works well outside of what she did to him people that are like that are just the perfect kind of people to see in movies because people will actually act like that

Loved this movie, until I found out that Rapunzel is 17 and Flynn Rider is 26. Plus the fact that she probably likes Flynn as it's the first person who has ever showed her any kind of affection. He is also the first man she has ever interacted with. Overall, just a bit weird when you get into the full details of the movie. Regardless, still one of my top favorite Disney movies.

[@Princessofthedrk]

They have Gothel in the game Disney Dreamlight Valley and I can't stand her. I keep her locked in her tree but they tend to have quests that include her. Now for another good villain, there is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And the song God Help the Outcasts is BEAUTIFUL.
