Rapunzel

So I'm super excited for the Disney movie "Tangled" to come out this year!
I've always LOVED the Rapunzel story and even had holographic (is that the right word?) Rapunzel shoes as a kid... they were pretty awesome though. Growing up though we didn't have what looks like a DARLING disney movie about Rapunzel, but I did have a Rapunzel movie and enjoyed it no matter how much my mom wasn't a huge fan of it.


This movie is definitely older than movies you'd see now with computer animation, but the stop motion puppetness of it is still very endearing all the same. It follows the original tale a lot closer than the Disney movie will or the Barbie movie. The video is a Ray Harryhausen film btw.
The Barbie as Rapunzel movie is too cute too!! It's definitely a twist on the Rapunzel story...
There's also the Hallmark Timeless Tales version which is... Interesting... their Rapunzel is BEAUTIFUL and I enjoyed the prince's song... it's very much like any other Hanna-Barbera creation though in it's awfulness/goodness
