Rapunzel is one of America's favorite fairy tales. But this is in regards to the Disney version, where Rapunzel is saved by her prince and finds her fairy tale home and ending. Makes sense this is a popular tale, especially considering the musical numbers. Which, might I add, are AMAZING. This was by the far the best movie to be produced by Disney since "The Little Mermaid".
Cartoon:
I personally find this cartoon very funny because it gives Rapunzel a backbone when it comes to being used by a male counterpart- literally. She doesn't give in and looks away from the person that could give her freedom. It is implied in this cartoon that she will let this opportunity pass her by if it means getting to freedom on her own. This would be a huge accomplishment considering the typical role of females in traditional fairy tales. Many feminists are able to use fairy tales in their argument because of the use they have in teaching younger children. The tales are prime examples of teaching gender roles to children at a young age.
