Barbie as Rapunzel: Difference between revisions

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Barbie at the beginning, who tells this version of Rapunzel to motivate Kelly out of an artist's block.

* [[Cool Crown]]: Rapunzel gets an ornate one, of gold molded in lots of curls.

* [[Dojikko]]: Penelope, whose big tail and [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|untrained fire and strength]] can jump up at the worst times (and yet often conveniently work out for the plot).

* [[Wicked Weasel]]: Gothel has Otto, a nasty talking weasel.

* [[Furry Confusion]]: Talking dragons, weasels, rabbits... and a completely normal palace horse.

* [[Graceful Ladies Like Purple]]: Rapunzel ad the masquerade.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Anjelica Huston]] plays Gothel, and [[Cree Summer]] voices Penelope.

** Penelope's father is played by [[David Kaye]].

* [[Important Haircut]]

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: In no way are there dragons in the original fairy tale, but Penelope and her father Hugo serve to advance the story rather than act as distractions.

* [[Karmic Death]]: Gothel curses the tower so that no one with a lying heart can ever escape. Rapunzel was honest the whole time, so she is able to leave. {{spoiler|When Gothel is tricked into returning to the tower, she is stuck there forever, as she had been lying to everyone throughout the entire movie (for instance, telling Rapunzel that she was abandoned by her parents, when she kidnapped her, or her lies that started the feud.) It is implied she soon starves to death.}}

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Gothel destroying Rapunzel's paintings, and later brush (which was the only thing Rapunzel had left of her parents), as well as reminding her how worthless she is.

* [[Lovable Coward]]: Hoby.

* [[Masquerade Ball]]: The film's climax.

* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Rapunzel's paintbrush is the only thing Rapunzel has left of her parents, and Gothel destroys it in a [[Kick the Dog]] moment. Somewhat subverted in that the {{spoiler|her parents are alive and well, and she reunites with them in the end.}}

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Averted.}}
