Barbie As Rapunzel

This movie has nothing to do with the original brothers grimm fairy tale. Although the animation is all pretty and pink, the movie doesn't even come close to the rapunzel story. It was slamming the tale so much, I'm sure the brothers grimm would be turning in their graves by now. If your looking for the real fairy tale try the shelley duvall fairy tale theatres they at least stay true to the original.

I love the Barbie movies. This one was the first one I saw. I have to admit it was a little young (I am fifteen) for my liking, but still. It teaches us good values and shows kids good practices. But the reason I really liked these movies was actually the princes. They are so cute! I guess that is being a little wierd, but that is what I thought when I first saw them. I guess another reason I like these movies so much is that they are Fairy Tales. And I am a nut over fairy tales.

Barbie Rapunzel is about the King's daughter who was kidnapped at birth. She does have long hair but not long enough to climb. She is kept in a forest hidden by a magic barrier. Her captor is called Gothel, who was in love with Rapunzel's Father. She had captured Rapunzel to get revenge when he didn't marry her. He thought that his neighbor king did it. So now there is a war going on between the two kingdoms. Rapunzel grows up beautiful. She likes to paint and has two friends. A rabbit and a dragon. One day she finds a way out of her prison and she meets the prince. Though she doesn't know that. But Gothel finds out! She destroyes Rapunzel's paintings and painting material when she says she doesn't know who she met. Rapunzel then uses the magic paint brush that she had found earlier to paint a picture of the town she was in. Going through the painting she finds herself with the prince. She asks not to know his name when he offers it for reasons of her own. Stephon, the prince, and her walk together then the dragon shows up to tell her Gothel is comeing back. Before she goes through another painting Stephon gives her an invatation to the princes ball. When she gets back gothel finds out about the ball and cuts of Rapunzel's hair, and asks once again who she met. when she says she doesn't know Gothel destroyes her new painting and paintbrush and puts a spell around the tower to keep the one with a lying heart in forever. But they find out that since she didn't lie she could go through the spell. They fly to the castle where Gothel had used Rapunzel's hair to find out who she had met. But during the ball Rapunzel's father had attacked. So Gothel reveals what she has done. Rapunzel arrrives in time to hear that and is chased by Gothel. She tricks her into going through the painting of the tower she had used before to get back. Gothel is put in the tower forever. Then Stephon and Rapunzel marry and the two kingdoms forgive each other.
