Tangled: magic hair and adventure
This entertaining animated film tells the story of Rapunzel, a teenager with very long, magic hair, who lives alone in a tower
Tangled [1] was the most-watched film in Brazil
“Rapunzel,” written in the 19th century by the Brothers Grimm. In the original story, Rapunzel is separated from her parents as a baby and raised [3] by a witch [4] called Mother Gothel. She is trapped [5] in a high tower for several years, unable [6] to cut her hair, until she isrescued [7] by a prince. In the version created by Disney, Rapunzel is a beautiful teenage girl with magical, 21-meter-long, golden hair.
There is no prince charming [8], but there is a bumbling thief[9], called Flynn Ryder. After another robbery [10], he flees [11] in search of a safe place to hide. But he chose the wrong place: the tower where Rapunzel is being kept. At first Rapunzel is suspicious [12] of the strange visitor, but after a while she sympathizes with him. She realizes [13] that the good looking [14] thief may help get her out of the tower to learn about a world that she has never known. Together they will experience great adventures and fun along with two other charming characters: a chameleon [15] and a white horse.
