Gothel is really one of the most evil villains Disney made. Notice how anytime she shows Rapunzel any affection it's actually directed towards her hair. Flynn is always pushing her hair away from her face, out of the way. Really enjoyed your reaction.

‘RAPUNZEL YOURE NOT AN ELEVATOR’ thank you for trying to talk some sense into her

The fact that more and more people recognize that Mother Gothel and Rapunzel is a better example of Stockholm syndrome and that Beauty and the Beast is NOT a good example gives me life.

Rapunzel hitting him with a frying pan is one of the most realistic meetings disney has ever done. A literal stranger climbed into her home

You said "I hope Rapunzel breaks that promise" (the promise to go with Gothel). But if you remember near the beginning Rapunzel said when she makes a promise she never ever breaks it. So it was impossible for her to break that promise without denying her essential character. Eugene/Flynn knew that and that's why he had to cut to hair before she healed him - to save her from having to keep that terrible promise, even if it was at the cost of his own life. (He had no idea her tears might heal him. Neither did she.)

My theory of why Gothel uses Rapunzel to get up in the tower is to show Gothel that she is still in the tower , Gothel could use those stairs and save some time but having Rapunzel be her "elevator " gives her a sense of purpose and that she has to be there to help her mother up

To answer your question, no, this isn't the "original" Rapunzel story - and thank heavens for that! In the original, the Baby got taken by the witch because during her pregnancy the mother had an absolute craving for greens, and apparently the dad decided going to the grocery store was just to much hassle, might as well steal some from the garden of our neighbour! Well turns out, she's a Witch, and she is not amused. She names the girl after the edible Rapunzel Bellflower, which is one of the things the dad stole. Rapunzel grows up in the tower, the hair grows, just... because, the Witch uses it as a ladder, yadda, yadda Then the princ comes, he finds Rapunzel and they _definitly_ did more then kiss and hold hands, because she becomes pregnant with _twins_ This is how the witch finds out, she cuts of Rapunzels hair and banishes her into the desert, together with her two infants, then tricks the princ into climbing up the cut hair and when he is at the highest point, she pushes him down and he lands in a thorn bush which saves his life, but sings out his eyes. Blinded, he wanders the world for years until he stumbles upon the place where rapunzel has made a ho9me for her and her children and he hears her song and finds her. She cries unto his eyes(!) and his blindness is cured, they return to his kingdom, happy ever after! As you can see, there is definitly inspiration from many of the parts of the original and to be fair, this is one of the tamer Grim fairy tales, no one died and Rapunzel was at least awake and hopefully consenting when they did the devils tango *cough* sleeping beauty also had twins *cough*

also thank you for recognising right off the bat what a creepy concept this all is. it deviates quite a bit from the original rapunzel story and obviously makes it more kid-friendly and entertaining but it still maintains a lot of heavy themes throughout

Max is by far my favorite character in this movie. And Mother Gothel is one of the best villains ever created. She's perfect in her evilness.

About all this takes from the Rapunzel tale is that Rapunzel is a girl with long hair, kidnapped by Mother Gothel, living in an inaccessible tower, and that a man finds her. But in the story he's the prince, she's a peasant, and there's nothing magical about her hair. This in my own very top tier of Disney animation, along with Beauty & the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and Pinocchio. And it has one of the best voice casts ever, with Zachary Levi and Donna Murphy being special standouts. Thanks to the writing and Ms. Murphy, Gothel is one of the most hateful Disney villains, precisely because she's so recognizable from real life, a manipulative constantly-belittling mother figure.

If you look closely, you'll see that every time Gothel acts affectionate towards Rapunzel, it's ALWAYS towards her hair. Just a nice little detail of where her priority were lol.

I loved the moment where they barely escape being crushed by the falling pillar, and Flynn pauses to grab the skillet--just like Indy grabbing his hat! 🤣 Yes, the Mother Knows Best song is the only really memorable song in this movie--and Yes, it's very disturbing. Maximus is definitely my favorite character! ☺

"Rapunzel, you're not an elevator" I LOST IT⚰

Original fairy tales are usually extremely brutal in some fashion. In Cinderella the step-sisters cut their toes and heels off to fit in the shoe. The Little Mermaid... she dies. Etc. This one is no exception. Disney does a really good job keeping the core of the story though. Fairy tales were used to kind of present kids with a right vs wrong "or else look what happens to you" sort of thing. Tangled was Disney's come back after a 2nd decline (not really but no one actually remembers the film that really started it, Bolt. Watch it, it's actually surprisingly good). Launched their 2nd golden age. Disney invested an insane amount of money to make this movie, $260 million. That's sits in with some of the bigger summer blockbuster film budgets. Disney completely rebuilt their entire rendering datacenter, upgraded everything. Invested heavily in R&D for animation to bring this film to life in a way animation had not been done yet. There's a ton of very cutting edge stuff in this film that no one had done before. They even brought back one of their best animators Glen Keane to head up the project. He animated Ariel in Little Mermaid in the 80s.So if Rapunzel has a feel of Ariel to her mannerisms, that's why. It's an incredibly tightly written script that keeps things moving. Humor fits perfectly and doesn't distract. It's just all around solid.

I may or may not regularly sing "I've Got A Dream" in the shower.

Have you ever seen The Hunchback of Notre Dame? It’s a masterpiece imo, the darkest Disney has ever gotten, they would never make a movie tackling these themes nowadays…

Gothel is second only to Dolores Umbridge on my "most hated villain" list. Since there's people in the world that actually act like them, they're not just a "big bad".

Definitely do Wall-E! 😊

I voted for Inside Out, but you really can’t go wrong with either. They’re both terrific movies. Wall-E is also wonderful. Loved the reaction, as always 😊

Soul is very good as is Luca (which surprised me!) Soul won a lot of awards BTW. Enjoying your Disney/ Pixar journey!

Is it a horse? Is it a dog? Or maybe a person? It's Maximus! Also, since you asked about the original Rapunzel, it's actually quite different from this movie. Although I don't remember much, there was something about the prince having his eyes gauged out, and I think something happened to Rapunzel as well... Yeah, it was pretty brutal, all in all... And man, did I forget about a lot of Pixar movies... Inside Out, Ratatouille, Brave, Wall-E, The Incredibles, Up, Toy Story 1-3 (4 and Lightyear aren't really good), Cars - all very good movies I hope you get to sometime

I guarantee you've seen Donna Murphy (aka the villainess Mother Gothel) before. She's Rosie Octavius, Doc Ock's wife in Spiderman 2. She's been around Broadway and musical theater pretty much all her life. She's five time Tony award nominee and has won the Tony twice for best actress in a musical. That's why her villain song "Mother Knows Best" is an absolute banger. The woman can sing.

The proof is her hair, they still have it, they can take it with them. When Gothal cut her hair as a baby she left the brown lock in the bassinet so they know what color it turns when cut. Show up with a 75 foot ponytail the same shade as the cut lock that was left and I feel like no further proof is needed. It certainly was enough to convince the castle guards.

Month late but i thought you'd find it interesting that after this movie a lot of people realised that they had abusive parents. one of them being me. this movie was what started the "oh that shit isn't normal?" line of thinking that eventually led to me cutting off contact with my emotionally and mentally abusive narcissistic mother. (The "now I'm the bad guy" thing was exactly what she used to do to me)

Yayyyy! Tangled is my favorite Disney movie. So glad you enjoyed it as well! It was fun watching you have fun 😁

I saw this movie when it came out in theatres, and it definitely opened my eyes to some things in my life. It will always have a special place in my heart.

You love Maximus, that's all I care about. Best. Disney. Character. EVER Suscribed. 😊

I LOVE Tangled!! Bebe Neuwirth played the stepmom. Donna Murphy? Fooled me. Maximas is great. So much personality. I have always Disney horses because of that. Maximas is not evil, he's just dedicated to his duty for crown and kingdom. I love watching your reactions to these Disney movies and love your laugh. Both movies you've chosen are great. No opinion for first.

If you were impressed with how Eugene went from their to hero it goes even further in the sequel series and Eugene goes from one of the most wanted thieves to captain of the royal guard

Tangled is very much NOT like the original Rapunzel story, but it does adhere to it in a lot of ways. The original Rapunzel (I'm pretty sure according to the versions that I've heard) was not a princess by birth and her father actually stole the rapunzel plant from the witch next door to cure his ill wife (apparently it looked so delicious that she fell sick for not being able to taste for herself??? idk lol) and the witch took their newborn daughter as payment and raised her in a tower, naming her after the plant that was stolen from her. No, her hair was not magic. Rapunzel's love interest in the original fairy tale was a prince (thus she becomes a princess by marriage, not birth), and the trap that the witch sets for him is very similar except that her hair has already been cut and Rapunzel has already been moved to a valley far away. When the prince climbs the trick hair to the top of the tower, the witch pushes him off into the thorn bushes below, blinding him. He wanders for a long time until he finds Rapunzel in that valley and her tears cure his blindness just like Rapunzel's tears in the movie resurrected Flynn.

Maximum always gave me T-1000 vibes when he’s in hunter mode

Heck yeah! Waking up on a Sunday to your tangled reaction! ✨️

Maximus!!!!! He is the GOAT

YEEEEES, thank yoooou, one of my favorite Disney movies!!

Gothel is not her stepmother she's Rapunzels kidnapper. Poor kid believing that was her mother her entire life crushed me. Also no one in the kingdom would recognize her. She was a baby when she got kidnapped and the kingdom hadn't seen her yet. Also remember she wasn't born with blonde hair.

Honestly Mother Gothel would have gotten away with everything if she had just given Rapunzel a different birthday

out of the ones you haven't seen yet, Soul would be my favorite.

I would love to see you react to Luca.

Really recommend Inside out, Up, Brave and luca. All of these has a good story and massage. Cars is also a fun movie series. Finding Dori is continue for nemo, pretty good.

React to Lilo & Stitch please, you'll certainly join

you are the only man i saw react to this that didn't go OOOOOOOOOOOO his balls when he landed on maximus

this movie always reminds me of into the woods

Donna murphy is Broadway too

Would you check out some of the songs from Tangled series or even watch it ? there are fantastic. Anyway nice to see new people get into Tangled this series is great.

I am VERY curious how you'd respond to 'Red shoes and the seven dwarves'. No Disney movie, but animated and in my opinion SO good!!!

Inside out is so emotional 😭❤️i love

The Mitchell’s vs The Machines the best kids film I’ve seen for ages. On Netflix

If youre into messed up stories, you might enjoy disney/brothers grim/others origin stories. Jon Solo does a series called Messed up origins where ges done deep dives for pretty much all the disney characters among many others. Its very enjoyable, and messed up.

back in those days ? they still make and sell em, even at wallmart

Please please please react to unchecked of Notre Dame. If you liked how evil Gothel is you're going to flip over Frollo

You need to watch A Goofy Movie if you’ve never seen it, you’ll really enjoy the side characters there.

Toy Story 3 is the best of that franchise if you ask me

Ratatouille and Dinosaur 🦖 Highly recommend 🥳🥳🎉💯💯

I hope you react to 90's disney releases like Aladdin (1992), Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) and Mulan (1998) these three are my faves and it's 2d!

Also, you didn't react to Frozen yet, did you? Go on then!

You should watch all the Pixar/Disney movies you haven't seen yet, bar the 1million Cars sequels 😅

Everyone always mistakes Maximus as the villian when it was originally Flynn and Gothel in the beginning. Maximus is trying to get the crown back and also Flynn too for stealing it in the beginning. I believe that Flynn and Gothel are to represent 2 types of evil people: From Flynn to Eugene, to show how bad people can change into good people. Gothel, to show when evil people are so set in their evil ways, there's no coming back.

Incredibles

Fun fact, many babies are born blonde then later develop darker hair as the grow up.

you 'know ras

Great reaction as always! Please do "Frozen" next!🤗

Ratatouille!!

Tangled the series is grest as well ;)

My parents were both very abusive. My mom was like a combination of Mother Gothel in terms of gaslighting and manipulation and of Lady Tremaine in being cruel and calculating. My dad was like a combination of Gaston's physicality and ego, and Frollo's religious abuse and seeing himself as righteous when he actually was a pos. I had a terrible childhood is what I'm saying. But fortunately, movies like these all combined to eventually push me to leave. I don't have any contact with them anymore, and I feel like I'm happy (in a consistent way) for the first time in my life.

please watch Soul

Can you please watching open the movie season next

Please react to "Luca" and "Turning red"

Please watch the incredibles 1 and 2 and Ratatouille and Luca!

The Incredibles, Up and Ratatouille are really good out of Pixar's movies I think. Some of my favourites.

toystory 1&2 are classic 3 i really thought was a fresh take and i liked it but 4 i wasn't fond of

Frozen please.

Ratatouille is beautiful and is touching to all kinds of artists :)

See the Incredible monster;s inc

I feel like this was the last pixar movie that i genuinely enjoyed. Everything after this movie wasn't really good

youre a grown man. think what you want to say before saying it, then you wont have to add a "like" whilst youre working out how to finish your sentence.
