About this movie

Go back in time to a place of magic and dragons, where Barbie stars as Rapunzel. Rapunzel had the most beautiful, radiant hair the world had ever seen. But Rapunzel's life was far from wonderful. She lived as a servant of Gothel, a jealous, scheming witch who kept her hidden deep in a forbidding forest, guarded by the enormous dragon Hugo and surrounded by an enchanted glass wall. However, in a twist of fate, Rapunzel's discovery of a magic paintbrush leads her on a journey that will unravel a web of deception, bring peace to two feuding kingdoms, and ultimately lead her to love with the handsome Prince Stefan. She succeeds with the help of Penelope, the least intimidating of dragons! Starring Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston as Gothel and Cree Summer as Penelope. The movie features a song performed by Samantha Mumba and music by the London Symphony Orchestra. Barbie as Rapunzel shows that love and imagination can change the world...

I love this adaptation of Rapunzel but the animation has aged poorly since it was released. I think they need to re-animate this film but maintain the same story and characters. Unlike the original fairytale where it encouraged lying, this adaptation teaches young viewers that honesty is the best policy in general and cheaters never prosper. Finally, I love how Rapunzel's hair returns to its original length at the end.

It's funny I have the DVD but I had them when I was 3 so they are REALLY scratchy! This is my 2nd favorite Barbie movie next to princess and the popper! I really love all of the Barbie movies. There are very few that I haven't seen and I'm trying very hard to see them!!!
