Barbie as Rapunzel
Mattel had originally wanted to make a series of Barbie princess animated films where Barbie plays a different princess each movie from a classic fairytale (Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, etc.), but out of fear of copyright with Disney, these plans were abandoned. This is where this film materialized, as Disney (at the time of this film's release) had not yet made a Disney Princess movie based on Rapunzel. Ironically enough, Disney's Tangled (2010), which is based on Rapunzel, took a lot of inspiration from this film.,Just before Gothel cuts Rapunzel's hair, Rapunzel is turning to face her, but when Gothel cuts it in the next shot, Rapunzel has her back to Gothel,Penelope: Well, scratch my scales!,At the end of the credits it says: "Love and imagination can change the world." -Barbie,A 60-minute TV version was produced.,Featured in Troldspejlet: Episode #28.9 (2002),Constant As the Stars Above
Written by Rob Hudnut and Arnie Roth,My 2 year old daughter loves this movie. I find it hard to sit through, with numerous plot holes and terrible dialogue, not to mention annoying animation. However, it's (almost) completely nonviolent and has a pretty good message. My daughter particularly likes the dragon character, Penelope. Overall, a pretty good kids movie, if not cutting edge.,
