Tangled (2010) Tangled (2010) Rapunzel first appears in Tangled as an infant princess who is born to a queen. Having inherited the healing abilities of a magical flower the ailing queen ingested while pregnant, the princess is kidnapped by a vain old woman named Mother Gothel the night after the princess was born.

Princess Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is more assertive in character, and was born a princess. Her long blonde hair has magical healing and restoration powers. A woman named Mother Gothel (voiced by Donna Murphy) kidnaps Rapunzel for her magical hair which would help maintain her youth and beauty.

Rapunzel is a spirited and determined young woman, with a strong sense of curiosity about the world, and a willingness to step outside of her comfort zone to experience her dream.

Originating from an old oral tradition, the story of Rapunzel was published in Friedrich Schultz's Kleine Romane in 1790, then more famously in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's 1812 collection, Children's and Household Tales.

One reason why Tangled works so well is because of Rapunzel's character. She has an interesting and dynamic personality that engages audiences with her plight and dreams, and this was only made possible because Disney decided to change the original Rapunzel fairy tale for their movie adaptation.
