Rapunzel is an enticing classic complete with the long-haired beauty, Prince Charming and the awful witch. Rapunzel’s parents, starving and destitute, make a pact with a nearby witch to give her their first-born child in exchange for food. Exiled to a lonely tower, only the witch may visit Rapunzel by climbing up her beautiful, long hair. As the years pass, the witch gives the strong-willed princess everything she wants except freedom. This quintessential tale shows how a possessive mother, a tentative prince, and a naive young girl all grow up in a surprising way.
