In Persinette, it’s suggested she locks her in the tower because she’s a loving, but seriously controlling, mother.ĭisney’s Flynn is a big deviation from the male lead in the original – a generic, unnamed prince who hears Rapunzel singing when he’s wandering through the woods and falls in love. The enchantress doesn’t need the girl for any magical purpose. Gothel takes the girl when she is born, names her after the plant, and the parents exit the story. Rapunzel’s parents were just commoners, so when Gothel catches Rapunzel’s father stealing the plant for his wife, he only gets her to spare him by promising their child to her. * This was a problem because it was growing in the forbidden garden of an enchantress named Gothel. In both versions, before Rapunzel was born, her mother desired the plant so badly that without it she would die. The original name of the story and maiden is a reference to parsley, while the Grimm version is a reference to rampion. They took it from a German translation of the French Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de la Force, which was probably inspired by the folktale Petrosinella. Tangled is based on Rapunzel, a fairy tale popularized by the Brothers Grimm. Let’s look under the hood and see where their stories came from. Disney purchased Pixar in 2006, and these three movies, one from Pixar and two from Disney, clearly show the influence of both studios.
