The story of Rapunzel is said to have been partially inspired by the story of Saint Barbara, who lived in the 4th Century, and whose life was far darker than the fairy story. She was so beautiful that her father, Dioscorus, locked her away in a tower.
Who is Rapunzel? Rapunzel's real story is said to have been loosely based on a true story about a woman, Saint Barbara, in Italy around the 3rd century. The story of Barbara was that she was so beautiful that her father felt he had to lock her in a tower to protect her.
Loosely based on the German fairy tale "Rapunzel" in the collection of folktales published by the Brothers Grimm, the film was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard (in the former's feature directorial debut), and produced by Roy Conli, from a screenplay written by Dan Fogelman.
What is the Brothers Grimm story of "Rapunzel"? "Rapunzel" tells the story of a couple struggling to conceive a child, their miracle child Rapunzel, and the wicked witch (Mother/Frau Goethel) who kidnaps and imprisons the young and beautiful Rapunzel in a lonely tower.
The Disney movie Tangled is an adaptation of the Grimm's fairy tale “Rapunzel” and tells the story of a girl who is taken away from her biological parents and raised by a woman who keeps her locked away from the world in a tower.
Rapunzel herself is a symbol. Named after the food her mother could not ignore, Rapunzel symbolizes desire. Dame Gothel treasures her so much, she hides her in a tower so that the world cannot share her. The prince struggles and strives to find her after his eyes are pierced.
Gothel is the main antagonist in Tangled. She kidnapped baby Rapunzel to get the magical power of Rapunzel's golden hair. Its magic can make people young but when the hair is cut, it will lose its power. So instead, she had to kidnap baby Rapunzel to make herself young.
Rapunzel Has Two Daughters Named Anastasia And Drizella
Rapunzel Tremaine has two daughters before she goes into the tower, and she devotes all her energy to them. Tying in with the Cinderella side of her character, the two girls are known as Anastasia and Drizella, the names Disney chose for Cinderella's stepsisters.
Though the Tangled live-action remake is merely a rumor until more solid news comes forward, it is still possible to speculate about its production timeline. Disney has produced quite a few live-action remakes in the last decade and a half, and they have typically been massive productions with lengthy timelines.
By looking at five things: architecture, nature, landscape, politics, and the styles of dress in Tangled, the best fit for a real-world Kingdom of Corona would be along the Baltic Sea coast of Germany and Poland at some point from 16th to the 18th century.
Corona is an island kingdom and the birthplace of Rapunzel in Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled and the subsequent TV series. The central hub of Corona's kingdom was built on an island somewhere in Europe and grew over many years.
There has also been the suggestion that the story of Snow White originated from the real-life story of a countess and her alleged lover, Philip II of Spain. The countess, named Margarete von Waldeck (1553 – 1554) was supposedly poisoned at a young age, as politics were more important than real love at the time.
According to the Brothers Grimm, Princess Rapunzel is named after the cultivated vegetable of the same name, growing in a witch's garden. The wording of the story suggested to me that the Grimms' contemporaries would be familiar with the plant as a vegetable, that it wasn't a fantastical invented thing.
What is the dark and original story of Cinderella?
But do you know what the original story was like? If you thought the story started the same as Disney made it, then you are right! Cinderella's mother dies and then her father marries her evil stepmother, adding her and Cinderella's evil stepsisters to the family. Lucky for Cinderella, her father doesn't die.
Rapunzel is the secondary antagonist of DreamWorks' 14th full-length animated feature film Shrek the Third, the third installment of the Shrek film series. She is a bogus member of the princess group and a friend of Princess Fiona.
He and Rapunzel later marry and he vows to turn over a new leaf and give up thieving. Eugene later appears in the 5-minute short film Tangled Ever After, that features his marriage with Rapunzel. Eugene/Flynn also appears in the 2017 television series Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure.
Since Gothel raised Rapunzel after kidnapping her and pretended to be her biological mom, it would be assumed that she grew feelings for her supposed daughter. She raised Rapunzel for almost 16 years and taught her everything she knew, it would be assumed that she'd love Rapunzel as her own.
Instead, Gothel exercises control over Rapunzel by playing on her fears. In her villain song “Mother Knows Best,” she sings “One way or another, something will go wrong I swear”; she belittles her, “You're looking a little chubby”; and then isolates her, “Skip the Drama, Stay with Mama, Mother Knows Best”.
After Mother Gothel stabbed Flynn Rider (who was actually named Eugene Fitzherbert), Rapunzel made a deal with her mother to save his life. She promised that she would go with Gothel anywhere she wanted and wouldn't try to escape, so long as Rapunzel was allowed to heal his wounds.
Rapunzel must've seen the other Disney princess movies — she's painted homages to them on the newel posts in the staircase in her tower. There's an apple for Snow White, a slipper for Cinderella, a rose for Belle, and a shell for Ariel. She also has a real spinning wheel in there, too, as a nod to Aurora.
Eighteen years later it was stolen by Flynn Rider and the Stabbington Brothers for its gold and diamond value and Flynn took it for himself while he and the brothers were getting away from the guards.
