In some versions of the tale, such as the original German version collected by the Brothers Grimm, Rapunzel's hair is used as a way for the prince to climb up to her tower. In these versions, it makes sense for Rapunzel to be barefoot so that she can easily toss down her long hair for the prince to use as a rope.
Being barefoot is comfortable. While it's true that Rapunzel keeping her bare feet throughout the movie helps symbolize her naivete, the movie also omits the usual obstacle that stops us from just being barefoot all the time — debris.
Rapunzel's dress is a traditional German dress called the "Dirndl", with a longer skirt than a normal Dirndl dress would sport, and her dress also has a purple theme, with a pink accent. The dress itself consists of a lavender corset top, and laced with a pink ribbon.
Weaknesses: Can sometimes be clumsy and naive.
Rapunzel, who's been hiding her fear, finally admits that her fear is Cassandra coming and destroying Corona, although her greatest fear is losing Cassandra as a friend forever.
The Tangled version of Rapunzel is one of the most powerful Disney princesses thanks to her magical golden hair that has an impressive length which is about 70 feet. She can use her hair to move objects, disarm enemies, or as a rope to swing around.
As for Rapunzel, imprisoned within the tower since a child, she is a waiflike female with big eyes and a teeny-tiny waist who sings about doing chores with the refrain, “wonder when my life will begin.” Rapunzel is stereotypically overly emotional, swinging from one end of a mood swing to another as often as she (and ...
The parsnip-like or radish-like roots also gave us the name of the child, Rapunzel. Rapunzel, the girl, was known for her long hair, while the vegetable Rapunzel (Campanula rapunculus) is known as a hardy vegetable plant that is entirely edible, leaves and roots.
Rapunzel Attending the Coronation
One of the most famous Easter eggs in Frozen takes place during the coronation scene at the very beginning. Fans immediately spotted a familiar princess attending the event. That's right, you can spot Rapunzel from Tangled with her short brown hair walking into the castle!
Rapunzel, Tangled
Tangled is a terrific movie, and if this were a ranking of the Princesses themselves, Rapunzel would not be in last place. But Rapunzel ran through the woods for DAYS without shoes on and her hair was loose the entire time.
One reason why some of the Disney characters go barefoot is because they are often shown to be close to nature and animals, which is because they live in places of nature, like jungles and forests.
Doylistically speaking, Rapunzel's color palette in the movie is meant to reflect that she belonged in Corona. She was purple and yellow, just like the flag.
In order to market the new film to both sexes and additional age groups, Disney changed the title from Rapunzel to Tangled while also emphasizing Flynn Rider, the film's prominent male character, showing that his story is just as important as that of Rapunzel.
Snow White and Rapunzel are German. Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle are French. Ariel is Danish. Merida is Scottish.
The only princess who visibly wears a corset is Rapunzel because she has the ties on the front of her outer bodice.
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.
Some translations of the Grimms' story have rapunzel as rampion, which is a European bellflower that's commonly used in salad, but the German word rapunzel refers to lamb's lettuce.
In this season, Rapunzel is Lady Tremaine, the wicked stepmother to Cinderella. In the past, Rapunzel had two daughters, Anastasia and Drizella, and made a deal with Mother Gothel to be locked in a tower in exchange for the safety of her family.
Both Blue Sky Disney and SlashFilm have confirmed that Disney has changed the title of their upcoming animated film Rapunzel to simply just Tangled instead. The film is an animated retelling of the classic Rapunzel fairy tale about a girl with incredibly long hair stuck in a very tall castle.
Frozen's Elsa and Anna are Rapunzel's cousins
Continuing the family theme, Rapunzel and Eugene are very clearly seen arriving at Elsa's coronation in Frozen.
Eugene Fitzherbert (born Horace), and known by the alias Flynn Rider, is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 50th animated feature film Tangled (2010), its short 2012 film Tangled Ever After, and the 2017 television series Tangled: The Series.
Pocahontas
Throughout the classic fairytale story, Pocahontas consistently shows kindness to her family, friends and animals but most of all, her act of kindness is peacefully stopping a war between the colonists and her tribe.
MULAN. How could Mulan not be number one on this list? She is undoubtedly the strongest Disney princess we have seen yet because she takes the most action in order to help save her family (and the world).
