“I am the lost princess, aren't I?”
―Rapunzel to Gothel after realizing who she really is
Princess Rapunzel is the protagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film Tangled. She is the princess of the kingdom of Corona, known for her long, magical, golden hair. As a baby, Rapunzel was abducted by a wicked crone and locked away in a remote tower for 18 years—during which, she became fascinated with a phenomenon involving "floating lights" that would only appear on her birthday. With the aid of the handsome thief Flynn Rider, Rapunzel escaped her tower to learn more about the lights and pursue her dream of exploring the outside world.
is loosely based on the protagonist of the classic German fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm. She is the tenth official Disney Princess and is also the first to originate from a fully computer-animated film.
Eighteen years before the events of Tangled, King Frederic and Queen Arianna (Rapunzel's parents) of Corona were anticipating their firstborn. Unfortunately, very late in her pregnancy, the queen fell ill with what would surely result in her death, as well as her child's. Fearing the death of his love, the King dispatched multitudes of soldiers and villagers alongside the populace to search for a rumored magic flower, created by a single drop of sunlight, with the potential to heal illnesses.
After much searching, the flower, long hoarded by a woman named Mother Gothel, who has kept herself young by singing a song to it, is miraculously located and boiled into medicine to cure the queen of her illness. With the help of the flower, the queen makes a full recovery and soon gives birth to a healthy baby girl, named Rapunzel who, unlike her brunette parents, has beautiful, golden hair. To celebrate her birth, a floating lantern with the emblem of the sun (the Corona symbol) was released into the sky amongst the people of Corona. However, the peace did not last long. Determined to retrieve the flower that kept her young and alive for centuries, Mother Gothel breaks into the castle late one night and sang the song to Rapunzel's hair. Discovering that Rapunzel's hair retained the flower's healing powers, Gothel attempted to cut a piece off for herself, only to find that the lock lost its magic and became brown. Frustrated and desperate, Gothel kidnaps the princess and fled to her tower hidden within an alcove deep in the forest. To protect Rapunzel's hair, Gothel raised Rapunzel as her own daughter and taught her to sing the flower's song. To further ensure her magic supply was plentiful, Gothel continuously brushed the hair to further its growth. Although Rapunzel wished to leave the tower, Gothel warned her of a dangerous world beyond the tower walls, full of horrible and selfish people that desired to steal her hair and abuse her power.
Meanwhile, the kingdom searched far and wide for their missing princess, but to no avail. As a result, each year on Rapunzel's birthday, the King, Queen, and the entire kingdom release thousands of lanterns into the night sky, in hopes that one day, their lost princess will return.
One night, while in the tower alone, Rapunzel would encounter a baby chameleon at her tower window, being followed by a venomous snake. The chameleon is bitten by the snake and dies from poisoning, though Rapunzel is able to both rid the tower of the snake and revive the deceased chameleon with the power of her hair. The chameleon reveals itself to be alone in the world, something Rapunzel relates to, as Gothel would leave her alone in the tower for lengthy periods of time frequently. Rapunzel names the chameleon "Pascal", and to remedy their mutual loneliness, invites him to live with her, where they eventually remain by each other's side from that night forward and becoming best friends.
Tangled
Rapunzel is first seen during Eugene's narration over the prologue, which tells the tale of how she unknowingly lost her family and came into Gothel's possession. Almost eighteen years after her kidnapping, Rapunzel, now a young woman with 70 feet of hair, plays a quick game of hide-and-seek with her pet chameleon, Pascal. While Mother Gothel (whom she views as her mother) is away, Rapunzel does many tasks throughout the tower to occupy her time. Though she is happy with her life in the tower, Rapunzel longs to someday explore the outside world. Since childhood, she has become fascinated by an annual event that seems to happen only on her birthday. That night, every year, she witnesses thousands of beautiful floating lights in the sky, brighter than the stars, rise over the tops of the alcove and into view of the tower's largest window. Wanting to know the meaning behind this phenomenon, Rapunzel develops a dream to see these lights in person. The day before her eighteenth birthday, Rapunzel decides with Pascal that she will finally ask Mother Gothel to see the lights. Soon after, Mother Gothel finally arrives at the base of the tower and calls for Rapunzel to let down her long hair. Rapunzel complies and uses her hair and a lantern holder as a rope and pulley to bring Gothel to the window. Gothel then insensitively teases Rapunzel for her slowness and decreases her confidence in front of a mirror, before saying she loves her, as usual, and asking her to sing the incantation to her hair. Instinctively, Rapunzel pulls up a chair and sings the incantation hurriedly, causing Gothel to become younger almost instantly. With her eighteenth birthday arriving, Rapunzel has gained the courage to ask Mother Gothel if she can see the floating lanterns because she believes they are somehow connected to her and does so. However, Gothel spurns her request, informing Rapunzel through song that the world is much too dangerous for someone as naive and gullible as her and that she wants to keep Rapunzel safe. Gothel proceeds to warn and frighten her of men with sharp teeth, ruffians, poison ivy, quicksand, snakes, cannibals, and even the plague and harshly request that she never ask her to leave the tower again. Her previous courage shattered, Rapunzel solemnly promises not to ask to leave the tower again and helps Gothel depart from the tower. Meanwhile, a young thief by the name of Flynn Rider has just completed a daring daylight robbery at Corona Castle, successfully stealing the crown of the lost princess, betraying his partners, and eluding the palace guards, as well as a fierce military horse named Maximus. Seeking refuge from his combatants, the bandit accidentally stumbles into the clearing where Rapunzel's tower resides. Deciding to hide within the tower, Flynn proceeds to scale the wall of the tower with arrows and enters into what turns out to be Rapunzel's room. Seemingly alone, Flynn pulls the crown from his satchel to admire his successful stolen prize but is instantly knocked out cold by Rapunzel's frying pan. Scared, Rapunzel cowers behind a dress form, before stepping forward to investigate the intruder with Pascal. Pascal advises Rapunzel to be wary of the young man since Gothel has often told stories of men baring sharp teeth, and they both fear he is a monster from the outside. However, Rapunzel finds nothing outwardly menacing about Flynn before knocking him out again when he regains consciousness. Concluding that Flynn is just another person, Rapunzel decides to hide him in her wardrobe. Afterward, she finds Flynn's satchel containing the crown. Although Rapunzel has never seen a crown before and does not know what one is, she tries to wear it in a few different ways and sets it on her head, before being interrupted by Gothel calling to her from outside. Rapunzel swiftly hides the crown and satchel and brings Gothel up the tower once more. Rapunzel decides she will show her mother the young man she has captured, proving that Rapunzel can take care of herself, and again hopes that she will be let out of the tower for her approaching 18th birthday. Unfortunately for Rapunzel, Gothel becomes enraged when she brings up the subject of leaving again and shouts that she will never leave the tower as long as she lives. Rapunzel is crushed by her words, as her dreams of exploring outside the tower and watching the lanterns are dashed to the ground. Gothel keeps from telling Rapunzel that she has a stranger locked away in her closet, and instead asks for paint made from special white seashells as a gift instead. Although Gothel is hesitant at first and bemoans the fact that the paint requires a three-day journey, she agrees to retrieve the paint to appease her and bids her disappointed "daughter" farewell. Once out of sight, Rapunzel takes Flynn out of her closet and uses her hair to tie him up to a chair. Pascal wakes Flynn up by sticking his tongue in his ear, and Flynn, not seeing Rapunzel at first, is frightened by his current predicament. However, when she steps into view, Flynn realizes that Rapunzel is just a beautiful young girl and starts hitting on her, much to her confusion. Rapunzel immediately assumes he is there to abduct her and steal her hair and interrogates him, but Flynn has no knowledge what she is talking about. When Rapunzel realizes that he is telling the truth, Rapunzel decided that she has found her chance to see the lanterns. Knowing that Flynn wants his satchel, Rapunzel strikes him over the head (this being the third time), hides his satchel within the tower, and proposes a deal. The two of them will leave the tower together, and Flynn will take her to see the floating lights the next night. He will then bring her back to the tower the following day before Gothel returns. In exchange for his efforts, Rapunzel promises to give him back the crown and let him leave. Flynn reluctantly agrees, simply to retrieve his loot along with Rapunzel saying that when she makes a promise, she never breaks that promise. Outside the tower, Rapunzel nervously digs her toes into the grass for the first time and runs about the forest in bursts of elation and panic, like a child, while Flynn can only watch. While excited to be out in the world for the first time, Rapunzel feels equally ashamed for having defied her mother. Rapunzel thinks she is a terrible daughter for disobeying her mother's directions and worries that her misbehavior will break her mother's heart. Flynn attempts to discourage Rapunzel from traveling away from the tower by guaranteeing that her rebellious actions will break her mother's heart and crush her soul. He suggested that she should simply give him the satchel back and return to the tower, but Rapunzel's desire to see the lanterns sees through his ploy. Despite her guilt and confusion, Rapunzel assures Flynn that she is fine enough to continue the journey. Hoping to dissuade her, Flynn takes her to the nearby Snuggly Duckling: a local tavern which is frequented by an assortment of ruffians and thugs like the ones Gothel warned of. Flynn's plan to scare Rapunzel into going back to the tower backfires when the thugs recognize him from wanted posters and attempt to hold Flynn for a reward while one of their associates goes to tip off the guards. Rapunzel pleads with them to release Flynn because she needs him to fulfill her dreams of seeing the lanterns and asks if they have ever had a dream. Their leader, Hook Hand, approaches as if he will strike her, but Rapunzel's innocence melts his heart, and he admits that he has a dream to become a pianist. The entire pub soon begins to come alive as the other members confess their dreams alongside Rapunzel. When the guards arrive, the thugs stage a distraction to help Rapunzel and Flynn escape through a secret cellar tunnel and encourage Rapunzel to live her dream. As they traverse the cavern, Rapunzel curiously asks about Flynn's origins, but Flynn casually refuses to answer. While he acknowledges that Rapunzel also has secrets she does not want to tell, he cannot help but ask her why she has not gone to see the lanterns before. Rapunzel hesitates, but just then, they realize they are being rapidly pursued by the palace guards. Heading outside the tunnel, the Rapunzel and Flynn find themselves on a ledge overlooking a quarry created below a massive dam. Rapunzel is very surprised to find that besides the palace guards, the Stabbington twins are also giving chase, having escaped their chains, and the horse, Maximus, is also on their path. Appearing to be cornered, Rapunzel uses her hair to swing to an opposing edge and leaves Flynn her frying pan, enabling him to fend off the guards and sword fight with Maximus. As Maximus disarms Flynn and corners him, Rapunzel lassos him with her hair and pulls him to safety. Unable to reach him, the furious horse unhinges a large wooden beam from the dam in an attempt to reach them but renders the dam overlooking the quarry unstable. It soon collapses and a wave of water surges into the quarry, quickly flooding it. The pair narrowly outruns the massive wave, but become trapped inside a small dead-end tunnel, as a massive pillar of stone collapses and blocks the entrance. Water rapidly begins to flood into the cave and, realizing their doom, they try to pull at the rocks to no avail, and Flynn only manages to cut his hand. They both try to look for an escape under the rapidly rising water, but there is no light in the cave, and they can barely see each other above it. As they think they are about to die, Rapunzel cries and apologizes to Flynn for dragging him into this, and Flynn admits that his real name is Eugene Fitzherbert, because he thought someone should know before he died. Rapunzel tries to make him feel better by admitting that she has magic hair that glows, only to realize that they can use her hair to search for escape in the dark water. She sings the magic song just as their air pocket disappears, and they end up underwater, where Rapunzel's hair illuminates the cave. In the lit water, Eugene discovers a break in the rocks where water flows out and manages to dislodge them, releasing them out the other side. That night, they set up a campfire in the woods and Rapunzel heals Eugene's hand with her hair. The dumbstruck Eugene just manages to keep his cool, and Rapunzel explains everything to him, including her lifelong imprisonment by Gothel to protect her magic hair, and that if the hair is ever cut, it will turn brown and lose its power. Flynn is empathetic toward her ambiguous feelings over returning to the tower. When questioned about his real name, Flynn tells his childhood story of growing up as an orphan and reading a book called "The Tales of Flynnigan Rider", the escapades of a daring adventurer with every benefit to an exciting life full of dangers, riches, and ladies. Flynn has chosen to adopt the name and lifestyle, even though the real Flynn Rider was not a thief, and feeling anything would be a better option than being a helpless orphan. Rapunzel tells him that she likes the name Eugene Fitzherbert much better than his adopted name, and the pair forms a close bond. When Eugene leaves to collect more firewood, Gothel appears and tells Rapunzel they are going home. Rapunzel refuses, believing that Eugene is beginning to like her. Gothel presents Rapunzel with Eugene's satchel and challenges her to return it to him, warning her that he will simply abandon her as he only wants the satchel back. Gothel then disappears, leaving Rapunzel feeling doubtful about her new romance. The next day, which is Rapunzel's birthday, Rapunzel wakes to find that they have been discovered by Maximus, a high-ranking palace horse on a personal mission to bring Eugene to justice. Rapunzel calms and befriends the frenzied horse, and requests that he refrain from arresting Eugene for the next 24 hours so that they can see the lanterns. Maximus and Eugene make a reluctant truce and journey into the kingdom with Rapunzel and Pascal. Eugene and Rapunzel enjoy each other's company greatly as they spend the day touring the kingdom and indulging in everything it has to offer. Along with that, Rapunzel makes a wondrous impression on the villagers, bringing whimsy and excitement to their already enjoyable festival, winning their hearts instantly. She also learns of the Lost Princess, though Rapunzel does not recognize it is her in the mural of the royal family, and before she has time to ponder further, Rapunzel engages in more fun-filled activities with the villagers and Eugene. During the day, their romantic feelings for each other begin to grow stronger and slowly start to emerge. At dusk, Eugene and Rapunzel row out onto the lake to watch the lanterns rise into the sky. As they wait for the lanterns to appear, Eugene notices that Rapunzel is not too happy; in fact, she is terrified. Rapunzel confesses that after all the excitement that has built up inside her about seeing the floating lights, Rapunzel is worried that they may not be everything that she expected. Eugene assures her they will be, and if they are, Rapunzel gets to go find herself a new dream afterward. That night, Rapunzel is overjoyed to finally be living her dream as she enchantingly watches the lanterns float from the streets of the kingdom to the boats on the lake. When Eugene presents her with a pair of their own lanterns, Rapunzel shows him his satchel, saying she was scared to give it to him before. Eugene refuses the satchel and says he knows how Rapunzel feels. As Rapunzel watches the lanterns, Eugene unexpectedly takes her hand, much to her delight, as they both finally and fully realize they have fallen in love with each other as they finish singing "I See the Light" together. They are just about to kiss, when Eugene pulls back apprehensively as he sees the Stabbington Brothers on the other side of the lake, unbeknownst to Rapunzel. Flynn assures her everything is fine and quickly takes the boat ashore. He then takes the satchel and walks off into the fog, promising to return. Rapunzel becomes worried as Eugene leaves, and she ruminates on Gothel's warnings. After a moment of waiting, Rapunzel sees a figure returning to her through the fog. Rapunzel sighs with relief that Eugene did not take the crown and leave her, but the figure actually turns out to be two tall and brutal thugs, whom Rapunzel recognizes as two of the same men from the dam. They inform her that Eugene did actually leave her. At first, Rapunzel does not believe them, but they show her a boat sailing across the lake towards the kingdom with Eugene's silhouette at the helm. Rapunzel has little time to grieve as the two men show interest in her magical hair. They scheme to abduct Rapunzel and use her powers to earn them money, but Gothel appears and rescues Rapunzel. Believing that she has been deserted by the man she thought loved her, a heartbroken Rapunzel goes with Gothel back to the tower. Meanwhile, back at the tower, as she mourns over losing Eugene, Rapunzel discovers that she has subconsciously drawn the kingdom's emblem in the sketches she made in the walls of her tower throughout the years. A sudden wave of memories and emotions from lying in her royal crib to trying on her crown floods her mind, causing Rapunzel to realize that she is the lost princess of Corona. Rapunzel then confronts Gothel, expressing her repulsion at everything Gothel has done and that she has been hiding with the person she should have been hiding from all along. Gothel says that she only wanted to protect Rapunzel and informs her that Eugene is scheduled to be hanged for his crimes. Rapunzel becomes even angrier and states that Gothel was wrong about everything and that she will never let Gothel use her hair again, but before she can leave, an enraged Gothel gags her and chains her to the wall. A little while later, Rapunzel hears Eugene calling to her from outside but can say or do nothing as Gothel throws Rapunzel's hair out the window for him to climb up. As Eugene gets to the top, Rapunzel attempts to warn him through her gag, but Eugene is fatally stabbed by Gothel before he can do anything, for he has been stumbled into a trap. Rapunzel's attempts to reach Eugene are in vain as Gothel leaves him clutching his side on the floor and prepares to make her escape with the captive Rapunzel and leave Eugene to die in the tower. Rapunzel, with a lot of struggling and fighting, manages to get the gag off and declares that she will never stop fighting Gothel as long as she lives, but makes a promise to submit to her if only she is allowed to heal Eugene. Gothel, knowing Rapunzel never breaks her promises, agrees and chains Eugene down to prevent him from following them. Eugene begs Rapunzel to leave him and escape, but Rapunzel refuses, saying she will not let Eugene die and promises him that everything will be alright. However, Eugene chooses to die rather than let Rapunzel be a prisoner again, so he cuts her hair before she can heal him. Rapunzel reacts in shock and watches in despair as the endless lengths of golden hair turn brown and lose their magic. With her source of magic gone, Gothel begins to rapidly age, losing her youth and beauty in a matter of seconds. Seeing her true form revealed, Gothel falls into a fit of hysteria, shrouding her face with her hood as she does so, and failing to realize Pascal tugging on a length of Rapunzel's dead hair, which she immediately trips over, falling out of the tower's entrance and plummeting to the ground. By the time Gothel hits the surface, all that is left of the witch is her cloak and piles of dust. After a brief moment of shock over the death of her false mother, Rapunzel rushes to the side of a dying Eugene, in hopes of saving him. Rapunzel desperately cradles the dying Eugene and sings the healing incantation, but Eugene interrupts her as he weakly tells her, with his dying breaths, that she was his new dream. Rapunzel, in reply, says that he was hers as well. Eugene then dies in her arms, leaving a heartbroken Rapunzel to hopelessly finish singing the incantation. She begins to cry over his body, letting a single teardrop fall onto his cheek, which is revealed to have the same power as the magic flower, as it glows as it sinks into Eugene's body and heals his chest wound, reviving him. An overjoyed Rapunzel jubilantly embraces him, and the two then share their first kiss, finally proclaiming their love. Eugene accompanies Rapunzel back to the kingdom. Though the King and Queen fail to recognize her, at first, the Queen takes a closer look and takes note of the striking resemblance; realizing her daughter has finally returned. It is not long before the King learns the truth as well, and the royal family is reunited for the first time in years. Eugene watches on, and knowing the former thief played a part in the safe return of their daughter, the Queen welcomes him into the reunion as well. In celebration of Rapunzel's return, the kingdom rejoices with a party lasting an entire week. In the closing narration, it is said that Rapunzel becomes a beloved ruler and governs her land with grace and wisdom. Meanwhile, Eugene is accepted into the royal family and pardoned for his crimes. According to the former thief, after "years of asking, and asking, and asking", he finally accepts Rapunzel's proposal to marry, only to be corrected by his bride. Eugene then amends that he asked her which Rapunzel supports by stating that they are living happily ever after.
Tangled Ever After
Rapunzel and Eugene both appear in this short sequel to the first film. In the story, Rapunzel and Eugene are getting married, narrating the opening of the short as they claim it to be the happiest day of their lives, with the events of the ceremony nearly proceeding with perfection. Rapunzel first appears in her wedding attire and standing at the entrance of the wedding hall, attracting the attention of everyone in attendance. Her father, the King, then walks Rapunzel down the center aisle, so that she can join her groom at the altar. The priest starts his speech, but Maximus sneezes and accidentally loses their wedding rings. The two appear in a vision of Maximus and Pascal where everyone in attendance becomes upset at the loss of the rings, though, in reality, neither Rapunzel nor Eugene notice the dilemma, or their animal companions leaving the ceremony to retrieve the missing rings. Rapunzel and Eugene are shown later after Maximus and Pascal manage to get the rings back, but the couple (and everyone else) are shocked at the grotesque-looking Maximus and Pascal, both covered with tar, who offer the rings. The two exchange their rings as the priest pronounce the couple husband and wife. Eugene and Rapunzel kiss and everyone in attendance rejoices.
Sofia the First
“We princesses have to stick together.” ―Rapunzel to Sofia and Amber Rapunzel appears in the special "The Curse of Princess Ivy" as part of a Disney Junior movie event. She is the first non-traditional animated princess to appear on the show and has her 70 feet long, mystical golden blonde hair instead of her short natural brown hair, including her crown, and lavender flat shoes on her feet. When Sofia and Amber are unable to stop Princess Ivy from taking over their kingdom, Rapunzel gives them a helping hand and a plan that will help them save the day. When Amber fesses up to Rapunzel about stealing Sofia's amulet, tells Amber as they fly to Enchancia that Flynn Rider had to make up for his own bad deeds during the song "Dare to Risk it All". Rapunzel then tells Amber that if she really loves Sofia as a sister, she will know what to do when the time comes and then magically disappears. In "Forever Royal", when Sofia is battling Vor inside her amulet, Rapunzel appears to Sofia in spirit form alongside all the other Disney Princesses who have been summoned to help Sofia in her most desperate hours, and they encourage her to be brave and strong, as they all believe in her.
Once Upon a Time
Two different, yet unrelated versions of Rapunzel appear in the ABC fantasy drama series.
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Rapunzel has appeared in the 2021 and 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades as part of the Disney characters that rode on the Disney Cruise Line float based on their newest ship in the fleet, the Disney Wish, dubbed "Magic Meets The Sea". In the 2021 parade, together with Flynn, and joined by her fellow Disney Princesses Cinderella, Tiana, Jasmine, and Moana, alongside Anna, Elsa, Aladdin, and the crew of the ship led by Captains Mickey and Minnie, consisting of Goofy, Pluto, Donald, and Chip 'n' Dale, they waved to the crowd as the float made its way from Central Park West to 34th Street, where upon reaching Herald's Square, special guest singer Jordan Fisher performed "Together We Set Sail" with the characters and their supporting Cast Members, while those Cast Members assigned to supervise and escort the Theme Park Characters made sure they enjoyed the parade and were kept safe on their special assignment outside the Disney Parks and Resorts and Disney Cruise Line fleet. In the 2022 parade, Rapunzel and Flynn rode on the float again with most of their friends from last year, but Chip 'n' Dale, along with Anna and Elsa, sat this parade out and were replaced by Mirabel Madrigal, Marvel superheroes Spider-Man and Black Panther, Rapunzel's fellow Disney Princesses Raya and Mulan, and Cinderella and Tiana's husbands Prince Charming and Prince Naveen. Near the end of the parade, as they approached Herald's Square, Rapunzel, along with Flynn, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Tiana, Naveen, Jasmine, Aladdin, Moana, Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, dismounted from the float, leaving only Donald, Pluto, Mirabel, Raya, Mulan, Spider-Man, and Black Panther aboard, and joining their supporting Cast Members on the ground, both the performers and supervisors, walked the rest of the way to Herald's Square while waving to the crowds. Once there, they then performed "Seas The Adventure", one of the stage shows from the Disney Wish, which included snippets of both "A Whole New World" and "When You Wish Upon a Star", ending with a flourish of streamers and confetti. After that, the float proceeded to the end of the parade route, where upon the parade being over, Rapunzel and the other Theme Park Characters prepared to depart Manhattan and return home to Disneyland in Anaheim and Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista to resume their normal duties at the parks with the holiday festivities there until Macy's invites them back for another Thanksgiving Day parade. This may be possible should Macy's decide to bring the "Magic Meets The Sea" float to the 2023 parade after consulting with Disney's executives about having the float be in the parade for a third year in a row, and ask the characters to participate in the parade again as well. Disney and Macy's have agreed to have "Magic Meets The Sea" return for the 2023 parade as part of the Disney 100 festivities, and Rapunzel will be among the returning characters riding on the float this year, but not with Flynn joining her this time. The float is also repainted to represent the sister ship of the Disney Wish, the Disney Treasure, slated to join the fleet in 2024. Rapunzel, joined by Anna, Elsa, Peter Pan, Miguel Rivera, Mirabel, Tiana, Naveen, Moana, Genie, Aladdin, Jasmine, the Peddler, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and the Fab 5 in Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto, performed the song "Let's Set Sail" upon when the float reached Herald Square, waiting until the NBC broadcast returned from commercials to do so, allowing them time to wave to the gathered crowds while their supporting Cast Members and volunteers set up for the performance during the commercial break. The float led the way for Ronald McDonald and his balloon, the NYPD Marching Band, and Chase from PAW Patrol.
Celebration of the Lost Princess
After being freed from the tower and Gothel, Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene, and Maximus begin returning to Corona to reunite with the King and Queen. However, anxiety begins overcoming the princess as she fears the life of royalty, believing it to be overbearing. As Eugene explains what palace life is like, Rapunzel's imagination gets the better of her, making the simplest of things seem too much to handle. She also learned of the royal crown, and the symbolism its crystals held. The crown's white crystals stood for a strong, adventurous spirit; green represented gentleness and kindness; red stood for courage, and the round golden crown itself stood for leadership. Eugene further explained that the crystals perfectly represented Rapunzel, reminiscing the heroic deeds she performed during their adventure together during the original journey from the tower to the kingdom. Even so, Rapunzel felt those actions couldn't have been done without her long, magical hair, and just then, the group was attacked by bandits, who were after Maximus. Using her quick wit and physical strength, along with Maximus' assistance, the bandits were defeated, and it was revealed their leader merely needed a horse to rush his son to the doctor. With that said, the group returned to the lead bandit's home, where Rapunzel tended to the boy's injuries. And afterward, Maximus escorted him to the medics. The entire event showed Rapunzel Eugene's words were correct, and in the end, she was finally crowned.
Ghost of Christmas Past
As Corona is preparing for the most wonderful time of the year, Rapunzel seems apprehensive about celebrating Christmas, much to the confusion of Eugene. She recalls that during the time she spent in the tower, Mother Gothel would tell her of "Nicholas the ghostly Christmas elf," who supposedly kidnaps children on Christmas Eve, and the eerie songs written in honor of the holiday. But after hearing her story, Eugene quickly realizes that the story was just another one of Mother Gothel's tricks to keep Rapunzel away from the outside world and confined in the tower. So, Eugene decides to take Rapunzel out on a stroll through the kingdom to show her what Christmas is truly all about. First, Eugene shows her that the music is actually sweet and heartwarming, and not as spooky as she first thought. Then, the presents are real gifts, as opposed to being a trick package. Next, the so-called charms that, according to Rapunzel, scares away the Christmas elf on the Christmas tree are really ornaments used for decorations. Finally, Eugene shows her that St. Nicholas is a jolly old fellow who gives presents to kids all around the world, and not a ghostly Christmas elf who kidnaps them as she was told before. With the actual knowledge of Christmas finally given to her, Rapunzel now goes from wary to excited as she spends the next few weeks getting ready for the holiday. On Christmas Eve, Rapunzel is finally able to celebrate the holiday with Eugene, Pascal, and her parents as it truly is: joyful, warm, and loving. Rapunzel then happily thanked Eugene and falls asleep on his lap as they wait for Christmas Day to come.
Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch
Rapunzel has a minor role in the novel by Serena Valentino, as the main focus is the backstory of Mother Gothel. It is revealed that Gothel named her after the golden flower (which was referred to as a Rapunzel flower in the novel). At first, Rapunzel was raised in a cottage with Gothel and her housekeeper Ms. Tiddlebottom, however, when she turns eight, after Gothel and the Odd Sisters attempt to use her hair to resurrect Gothel's sisters, Rapunzel is put into an enchanted sleep and her memories of the cottage and Ms. Tiddlebottom are erased. From that point, she is put into the tower and remains asleep until the day before her eighteenth birthday, and her happy childhood in the tower is all a dream. At the very end of the novel, Rapunzel is mourning Eugene's death, she and Circe repeat the healing incantation at the same time, but it is unclear to Circe if Rapunzel still has some of the flower's magic inside her.
Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure
In this story, taking place during the time of the film, Rapunzel is on her way to Corona to live her dream, but various obstacles prove to make the journey difficult, such as Flynn's wanted posters being plastered throughout the forest, Pascal going missing, and evil imps causing havoc. However, with the help of the game's heroine, Rapunzel and Pascal are able to overcome the challenges, eventually making it to the kingdom and rewarding the heroine by helping her find a magic crystal.
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion
In the game, Rapunzel and Pascal have been kidnapped to the World of Illusion by an evil witch known as Mizrabel, as part of a dark scheme to steal the essence of beloved Disney characters for her own selfish purposes. Fortunately, they are soon rescued by Mickey Mouse and remain within a sanctuary with the other rescued Disney characters until Mizrabel's eventual defeat, allowing the characters to return to their homes.
Disney Infinity
Rapunzel appears as a playable character in Disney Infinity, playable in the Toy Box mode of the game. She was released as a stand-alone character on November 22, 2013, and was released in the UK in the "Girl Power" pack alongside Violet and Vanellope von Schweetz on April 4, 2014. Rapunzel's exclusive adventure in the first game is called "Rapunzel's Rail Ride", which has her competing in a timed event to gather floating lanterns. The board features multiple lengths of piping with some of the floating lanterns on them, resulting in Rapunzel having to jump from pipe to pipe so to retrieve them.
Rapunzel is a face character in various Disney parks around the world. Retaining long blonde hair as opposed to the short, brown cut at the end of the film, the official explanation for her park appearance is that the remnants of the magic within her after healing Flynn have gradually allowed her to grow some hair back (down to her ankles it seems)...
Upon the release of Tangled, Rapunzel instantly became one of the most popular Disney characters of all time, especially amongst fans of the Disney Princess franchise.
On October 2, 2011, an official coronation ceremony for Rapunzel's induction into the line-up was held in London at the Kensington Palace. Amongst the other guests included thousands of fans, the other (then nine) official members of the Disney Princess Royal Court, and Flynn Rider, who had the honor of crowning Rapunzel.
Although Rapunzel is based on the character from the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, she is altered quite a bit in order to develop a more adventurous and outgoing personality, and further complicate the romantic relationship between her and her love interest.
•In the Original story, Rapunzel spends her time in the tower by singing. In the movie, Rapunzel spends her time in the tower by not only singing but doing other activities as well.
•In the Original story, Rapunzel and her love interest the prince falls in love immediately and agree to get married right away and take their relationship fast. In the movie, Rapunzel and her love interest the thief don't fall in love immediately and don't agree to get married right away and take their relationship slow.
•In the Original story, Rapunzel's love interest--a young man who is a prince--finds Rapunzel's tower when he was riding a horse and heard Rapunzel singing and followed the sound which led him to the tower and climbed it because he wanted to see Rapunzel. In the movie, Rapunzel's love interest--a young man who is a prince--finds Rapunzel tower when he was being chased by guards and stumbled upon the tower by chance and climbed it because he needed a place to hide.
•In the Original story, Rapunzel's love interest tried to look for a way in the tower by looking for a door or staircase and eventually found out you had to climb her hair and did just that. In the movie, Rapunzel's love interest didn't waste time looking for a door or staircase and climbed the tower using arrows.
•In the Original story, the witch tricked Rapunzel's love interest the prince by lowering Rapunzel's cut hair and the prince climbed up and to his surprise found the witch who mockingly tells him he'll never see Rapunzel again. The prince falls from the tower and lands in thorn bushes which break his fall but scratch his eyes making him blind. In the movie, Mother Gothel tricked Rapunzel's love interest the thief by lowering Rapunzel's un-cut hair and the thief climbed up and said that he thought he'd never see Rapunzel again and to his surprise found Rapunzel chained up and gagged. Mother Gothel then stabs the thief with a dagger.
