Sooo.... As not to reveal spoilers, all I'm going to say is certain comments you've made make me HIGHLY recommend you watch the Tangled TV series. They actually go more into the sun drop (Aka the magic flower) and may answer some of your questions. It's so hard not to say exactly what because I have seen it but would also enjoy you guys doing a blind reaction to it eventually, lol

This. I was around 17~ when this movie came out and even after everything was said and done I made excuses that maybe Mother Gothel cared for Rapunzel in some way. That she couldn't have......faked affection for her for the past almost 18~ years.....right? That somewhere in her heart she loved her.

[@videohistory722]

Whenever Mother Gothel shows Rapunzel any affection, she's actually showing it to her hair. In contrast, when Eugene does the same, he pushes her hair away from her face.

[@koriboyd9530]

[@miabarton3623]

Same with him cutting it at the end, to show it was never about her hair and was always about her. Since basically her whole life her “mother” only showed her love for her hair. People get triggered at that part but I find it really really beautiful ☹️

Credit to Rapunzel's parents, even with the crushing grief and uncertainty they've been living with, it looks like they were still running a pretty good kingdom

[@ln9256]

For real. The fact that they didn't just fall apart after their tiny new baby girl, the rightful heir to their throne, a beautiful child that could have been taken for any number of horrifying reasons, was abducted while the queen was still on bed rest is baffling. They didnt spiral into oblivion, they didn't lie to their people, and they didn't stop trying to do right by them. Their people were betrayed too. Their princess was stolen. That is enough to put cracks in any nationalist's belief in their nation. But they also kept going and strongly supported their king and queen. And they never stopped looking. Not a single one forgot about her.

They said they didn't get why Eugene's dream would be to be alone, but I bet it comes from life in the orphanage. He spent his childhood sharing everything in a house with perhaps dozens of children and is now living a life of crime where he has to constantly watch his back. It's no wonder he just wants peace and quiet. He wants to be alone where he can relax and to have things he owns that he'll never have to share.

You can really tell this by the costume design of all the characters, Mother gothels is the only 1 who's dress is strictly from the renaissance era while the rest of the characters are all in clothes that only come into style 1000years later

[@miabarton3623]

That’s why she turnt into dust that the end. Some people think she disappears but I’m all like she’s superrrrr old💀💀

[@washedblue]

wow. I knew she was old, but not THAT old. maybe unintentional on the creators' behalf, but what's interesting about that is how people equate age and maturity. with narcissistic parents, they tend to be emotionally stunted or refuse to/are incapable of being healthy adults. you'd think with age would come wisdom, introspection, and ego loss, but no, not always. to take it further, some n-parents will distance themselves or 'lose power' as their child ages up into independence, but some will continue the abuse just the same even into old age and when they're literally reliant on their kids to live, if they see they can still hold some power over them.

[@asleegraves4901]

I know the Budz didn't like the "now I'm the bad guy," line, but for me it's always been one of my favorites. Accusing your kids of villanzing you is such a common defense against literally any parental criticism-- and while this is the scene where Mother Gothel is literally being revealed as a villain and therefore the context is kinda wonky, I think it's neat that they flipped it on its head. Usually, kids are like "no, you're just not listening to me," or become desperate to appease their parents' hurt feelings but this movie is like "yes. yes, you are the bad guy."

[@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

It also has the heavy weight of Gothel akcnowledging she thinks Rapunzel's the clear villain every time. It's a very narcissistic and manipulative tactic, and it works, as Rapunzel always feels like she's at fault for _everything._

[@lorien_braga]

In the Brazilian dub, Gothel calls Rapunzel "my flower" instead of darling or dear, and it's so fitting to the magical flower power

[@heyitsmira17]

I remember her calling Rapunzel dear/darling though (querida)

[@lauracrabb7169]

In Romanian dub too. She is called ,,floricica me'' meaning my little flower.

[@mystical_grace]

I'm not gonna lie, when the tear fell near Eugene's eye and the healing began I nearly started screaming. In the original story, the prince is thrown from the tower by the witch, somehow survives, and loses his eyes to the briar patch he landed in. When he finds Rapunzel again, she weeps and her tears somehow heal his eyes. I didn't think Disney would be able to incorporate that into the adaptation, so I was really happy.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Same. A lot of princess/fairytale adaptations normally don’t include important plot details from their respective stories (looking at you Frozen) but I actually really enjoyed Tangled did include most of the main plot points, including the prince being saved with Rapunzel’s tears. And oh course changing the lettuce (aka Rapunzel) to being a one of a kind flower with a powerful ability. There is actually a deleted opening version where they tried being more accurate to the original story where Gothel actually owned the flower and was a witch/enchantress, but refused to give it to the king, and he stole it to save his queen. But I liked the final product instead, and its pretty hilarious how many people didn’t know Rapunzel’s name is actually German for a specific species of lettuce.

[@dianesaccomano2671]

I heard they consulted a panel of women on their ideal male character and Flynn Rider is who they came up with. It reflects because he’s not a “good” guy and is up front about not wanting to help her initially and then discovers a bit of himself and changes, not FOR her, but because he wants to be better and decides to do the right thing. It’s so good.

[@emmabruh]

Fun fact in the German original the reason Rapunzel is named Rapunzel is bc her mother was craving Rapunzel lettuce (a German field salad) while she was pregnant. Her father went out to get some and ended up stealing the lettuce out of Mother Gothel‘s garden, who then in return stole young Rapunzel….yeah, no comment, as a child I never realised how strange that actually is 🤨 Also in that same version, Gothel actually throws the prince out of the tower and he falls into thorns, that then blind him and when Rapunzel finds him she cries and her tears end up giving him his vision back, but it that was too intense for Disney

[@heyitschar8855]

I think they might have done this version in the movie Into The Woods ? or something similar ? I could be wrong but i remember a prince being blinded by thorns in that movie !

[@kenna163]

Didn't she also get pregnant? I remember Mother Gothel noticing that she's gaining weight. I think Rapunzel had twins in that version

I feel so much for Rapunzel because she grew up not even knowing what her mother does is bad or is abuse, because her mother is the only reference she has. Rapunzel has no parameter. She thinks all her mother does must be out of love.

[@amandawade7803]

I really appreciate the tear bringing Eugene back to life because it's a nice nod to the original tale. Granted in the original story the prince was only blinded (like that's not also terrible) by the witch, and Rapunzel's tears brought back his sight, but it's still a nice nod.

[@hermionesings]

There's this cool way to watch tangled for the first time, which is where you skip the first 5 minutes, and watch the tangled movie without knowing that mother gothal is the true villain, so the viewers understand the plot when rapunzel does. It's pretty cool

They also wrote a book called “Mothet Knows Best” about Gothel and her childhood and her path as a witch, and it basically explained how the magic in this world worked and how she knew the song and developed her personality. Love the content, as per usual!

It's definite a better adaptation than Frozen. You can't even say that Frozen is an adaptation of the Snow Queen with how much they changed the story.

[@BeachedMermaid]

Another important thing about Gothel is that every interaction she has with Rapunzel she's constantly referring to her as Flower or only touching her hair affectionately

[@shinigamis_like_apples4797]

The hair doesn't even simply heal, it literally reverses time. You would think that part would be obvious since mother gothel preserves her youth with it but its not widely acknowledged, most people think the hair heals and glows but NO. It doesnt JUST heal, it undoes the injury! Its even more meta! The song is also not just a song, either, its an incantation (or yk, the basic word for it is a spell). It glows once the magic is activated but can only reverse time when the full incantation is spoken. ‘‘Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. What once was mine'' Rapunzel basically has the power to bring people back from the dead

[@KB-tg7pf]

[@PossiblyKayla]

Oddly enough, Rapunzel’s relationship with Flynn is kind of like her relationship with Mother Gothel at first. Gothel is using her for her hair, and Flynn is going along with Rapunzel to get what he sees as valuable, the tiara. But the difference is, Gothel never learned to love Rapunzel for her but Flynn did. He realized she was much more valuable than the tiara or even her hair ❤ alright, I’m gonna go cry about it now 😭 Best. Movie. Ever. (In my opinion)

Flynn and her had a mutual deal that they were both on board for while Mother Gothel was her kidnapper and abuser (verbal) that's two very different scenarios. One she was in on from the get go the other was completely unknown to her. What a strange comparison

She didn't actually technically *choose* to have her hair cut, Eugene just cut it, of his own volition, before she could heal him, so that Gothel wouldn't be able to use its powers anymore.

[@sakbromely]

The tear thing is a callback to one of the original stories ( not the Grimm version) where it was always her tears that healed/rejuvenated and as she grew up the witch started torturing her when conventional means of getting her to cry stopped working. The torture would ramp up everytime she got use to it (I believe the witch also used some of the tears to heal Rapunzel so she wouldn't risk killing her). After the prince is blinded she heals him because he made her cry with his kindness not pain.

[@xejelah]

where is that story? or maybe what region did it come from is what i should ask?

[@sakbromely]

@@xejelah Honestly I'm not sure. I remember reading about it in a origins of fairytales kind of book when I was like 14

[@oncerand_directioner]

@xejelah It's the original one from Germany. Also in that version, Rapunzel gets pregnant with twins and Mother Gothel finds out because Rapunzel innocently remarks about how her dress has been getting tighter around her waist lately. The witch punishes Rapunzel by cutting off her hair and then banishing her a desert where she gives birth. The witch then tricks the prince into climbing back up the tower with Rapunzel's cut hair and he falls into sharp brambles below, which blind him and he wanders around aimlessly until he wanders into the same desert that Rapunzel and his children are in and Rapunzel uses her tears to restore the prince's sight. And Mother Gothel slowly dies trapped all alone in the tower after accidentally dropping Rapunzel's cut hair

[@liamross340]

There’s a video essay about skipping the 5 minute prologue and it makes the movie even better because everything is explained later and it becomes more of a mystery. it’s just so amazing

[@aaaaaaaaaa1094]

my relationship with this movie has always been really complicated (it came out when i was 8 or 9. my mother was like gothel personality wise so i saw myself in rapunzel, but i look a lot like gothel so the person i would act scenes out with - also abusive btw - would always insist i play her), but it's been one of my favourites because i related to it so much. as a jew, gothel's design combined with the plot* reads a lot like blood libel to me, and i really appreciate you pointing out the design. not many reactors do and i think it's this movie's biggest flaw and needs to be talked about more because when it isn't, this messaging is subconsciously seen as normal in media, if not true irl. *curly haired, hooked nosed woman who uses magic to deceive others (into thinking she's young) kidnaps a blonde child to use in a magical ritual. she's an overbearing, bossy, manipulative mother who keeps herself and her 'child' separated from the wider community. no good (or any other?) characters look like she does, and although a subplot is about how 'ugly' =/= evil, that does not extend to jewish features which, especially at the time, were and are widely considered ugly in the real world. imo, the plot alone makes it quite concerning, but choosing to portray the characters with these specific features (not just gothel, i'm also thinking about rapunzel's blonde hair, which was the focus of the movie + her small, upturned nose, shared with most of the other female characters making gothel's otherness so clear) feels like a deliberate choice. even if it was an honest mistake, there probably should've been a sensitivity test? or someone should've pointed it out? idk.

[@sS0O0L]

something i really like about this movie is that many of the characters could easily be the protagonist. If you watch the scene when Rapunzel and Eugene meet, when he's tied to the chair, and you never watched the whole movie, you can easily think that he's the protagonist and Rapunzel is a quircky fun character he met at some point. They have such strong personalities and none of them have any kind of "protagonist trait", which make them so much relatible, compeling, even realistic and unique.

[@smolsmile5254]

@@Ultimaniacx4 the problem with that is "did I stutter?" I'd a widely accepted phrase, even if it is ablelist it is a common saying which is accepted. So having her say that wouldn't show how bad of a character she is, it wouldn't convey that message to an audience who uses and accept the phrase. It would simply be making people who do stutter uncomfortable, seeing how normalised it is mocking their disability

[@maggielynn8691]

48:15 I think part of the reason this movie feels so well put together is because of how closely it actually follows the 'monomyth' or 'hero's journey' formula. When I was in high school, I had to do a project where I compared The Odyssey to a modern book or movie (using the 'hero's journey' structure) and I chose Tangled. It was almost surprisingly easy to sit down and break the movie up into the different archetypes and stages.

[@CreatEr1n]

Disney created a whole new hair rendering system based on volume for Rapunzel. They went with the title "Tangled" instead of "Rapunzel" because they wanted to appeal to a larger audience. They felt "The Princess and the Frog" underperformed at the box office because the word "princess" was in the title. They did the same thing with "Frozen," which was loosely based on the story "The Snow Queen." The behind-the-scenes info for Tangled is super interesting. It changed the way they approached future movies.

[@britthanks9705]

i never saw the healing tear as "one last one," but as a reveal that it was never exclusive to her hair; the flower's magic saved her life not just her hair, it's in her entire being, it's just that the hair was very obviously linked to it. she's also never really had reason to cry while singing the song, let alone be in a position for that tear to land on someone that needed healing.

30:20 So it's really interesting that Flynn's dream SEEMS narcissistic and self-serving but when you find out he grew up in an orphanage, taking care of younger kids and has never had anything to call his own, it makes a lot more sense.

One of my favourite things about the series is how they bring back some of Eugene's chaotic energy that showed up in snippets in the movie. (OFC BEWARE, slight spoiler out of context here) but I've never laughed so much as when the "do you really think you can defeat me?" / "You forget that we’re in a room full of magic artifacts and I dOn’T kNoW wHaT ANY oF tHem DO!" dialogue happened. Made me appreciate him even more

[@honneybear3167]

I 100% believe that Eugene is telling this story as a bed time story to there kids

Mother Gothel reminds me so much of my biological mom and it hurts to watch but I love this movie so much

[@brabbit736]

Literally watching this while using my largest cast iron pan to bake in 😅

[@littlesparrow303]

One of my favorite Disney Princess films!! Tangled Tv series is really great in stretching out the world & characters within the 3 years before they actually got married.

[@aliceblack9712]

What I like about Rapunzel and Eugene, is that there is actual commucation and consideration happening between them, which is not really common in disney princess movies

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I've just realized another parallel with this film and Hunchback [...], during Rapunzel's confrontation with Gothel about what the world is like. As Quasimodo states, "all my life you've told me what a dark, cruel place the world is. But now I see the only thing that's dark and cruel about it is people like you."

YAY for Ever After!! It's a fantastic twist to Cinderella.

[@shainewhite2781]

One of the best Disney movies ever! It's hilarious from start to finish! I think it's supposed to be a parody of Rapunzel and at the same time, it's supposed to be self aware that it's a Disney movie.

Thanks & happy holidays!

[@themoviebud1988]

Thank you so much! 😁🙏 - Sam

[@Lovelysaxy]

I really like y’all videos. I enjoy how deep y’all go into the movie and bring up stuff that I’ve never even thought about just like finding Nemo.

[@liquidxtasy]

omg yesss was soo hoping y'all would do this *manifesting* mr. malcolm's list, ever after and the half of it next

[@themoviebud1988]

Well, good news is ever after is actually next 😊 - Sam

Merida from Brave, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, Moana from Moana, and Mulan from Mulan have both their parents 💕

I love your nails Stef! I think it’s really cute how the purple matches the movie pallet (whether intentional or not lol)

[@alaasusername]

"tongue their brain" killed me loool

[@popcornluver134]

The series does explain the song. But most importantly (as you can hear from the lyrics) the magic doesn’t heal, it reverses time

[@MysticWolfMagic]

This is my favorite movie of all time. I have many thoughts about this so I will condense them the best I can. First of all, thank you so much for making this video! I had such a wonderful time with it. Tangled has everything I want in a movie. Comedy, heartwarming moments, unforgettable characters, and THE BEST Disney love story there ever was and probably ever will be. One of my favorite details in the film is the gradual character development of Flynn Rider. Not just in his actions and attitude, but also his voice. He doesn’t speak with the gusto he had before, instead he speaks with soft sincerity because he’s finally being himself and not a character from a book. I enjoyed every minute of this video. But my absolute favorite part was seeing your adorable crooked smiles during the lantern scene ❤ It just warms my heart to see others enjoy this damn near perfect movie as much as I do. This has been an amazing gift. Have a fantastic Christmas, you guys!!! 😄

[@lpchambers3681]

Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore are spectacular!! I know he does DC movies but his roles when he sings are my favorite (She Loves Me is wonderful)

[@kas7693]

i always forget this movie is a musical. the songs are so good for the story that i forget there even there. so good!

[@themermaidmak]

Super pumped for Ever After! (whether it happens next or not 🙂)

[@rowhanwills77]

Did you know besides mulan, Rapunzal is one of the only Disney princesses who fights along side sora in Kingdom Hearts

[@16taysia]

Mother Gothel really f’ed up when she told Rapunzel what day her birthday was…😂😂😂

[@kennethdiasnogueira6105]

With the whole tear thing in the original rapunzel story her lover had his eyes scratched out by thorns. She cried over him her tears falling into his eyes and healing him. The magic hair though is all Disney it’s been awhile since I read an original princess story but I’m pretty sure her hair was just long not magic.

[@screamingbegins4688]

yeah its just long because she wasnt able to cut it

[@laurynhoy]

15:35 No, he's actually 5 1/2 years older than Rapunzel as many people have actually predicted to be correct

[@tildavonkatzengluck74]

Wild child please ❤️ That movie is so underrated

[@desiraevang]

The best and my all time favorite Disney princess movie! They soundtrack is so good! And the have the most beautiful scene, the floating lanterns 🥹
