Long, long ago, in a time of magic and dragons, there lived a girl named Rapunzel who had the most beautiful radiant hair the world had ever seen. But Rapunzel's life was far from wonderful. She lived as a servant to 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 help of Penelope(TM), the least intimidating of dragons! Stunningly produced in computer animation, the movie stars Academy Award(R) - Anjelica Huston* as Gothel and Cree Summer as Penelope(TM). The movie features a song by Samantha Mumba and music by the London Symphony Orchestra. Barbie(TM) as Rapunzel shows that love and imagination can change the world... Barbie as Rapunzel will thrill children aged 3 to 8, following the success of Barbie in the Nutcracker . Barbie may have started life as a doll in the 1950s, but these days she's also making her name as a computer-animated film star. In a modern twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie stars as Rapunzel--a courageous and imaginative princess who is locked away in a tower by the evil witch Gothel. With help from her friends (Penelope the cute purple dragon and Hobie the rabbit) and through the power of her own creative energies, she paints her way out of the tower to find freedom, truth, and love. Anjelica Huston is memorable as the vocal talent behind the unbalanced and scary Gothel, and excellent sound effects and colors greatly enhance the film. Hugo the mighty dragon, Otto the nasty ferret, and the sword fight between the feuding kings will hold the attention of those brothers of Barbie fans who are less than enthusiastic about watching this 80-minute film, but essentially this is a little girls' film and the outrageously pink castle, the magical fashion show before the masked ball, and the fairy-tale wedding will make it a firm favorite for that audience. --Tracey Hogan Review: Revisiting my childhood - I absolutely adore this movie, Barbie as Rapunzel is such a great movie! I watched it ages ago when I was a kid and now, almost in my thirties it’s still a great watch! It could be my nostalgia creeping in, but the voice actors do wonders and the animation is really good for the time! Fun fact for InuYasha fans, Barbie shares a voice with Sango and the male dragon shares a voice with Sesshomaru **finger guns** It’s definitely a cute and fun movie and Ive rewatched it 5 times since getting it! Definitely a comfort movie! Review: Good movie good peice - Daughter loves this Barbie movie as well as the others I’ve purchased here

The Story of Rapunzel Will Never Get Old!
The story of Rapunzel will never get old to me no matter the version, but I grew up on this version way before the Disney adaptation. I related to Rapunzel growing up as my parents sheltered my brother & I & I always questioned what was out in the world, who I could meet, what I could do, where I could go, & so much more. When Rapunzel finally makes her escape & finally has freedom to be who she wants to be, meet people, find romance, & see the world, it's how I felt when I moved out when I was 18 years old. I wish more Barbie movies in this type of animation were still coming out today but I love being able to go on Amazon & watch my favorite childhood movies because they are such a big comfort to me.

my kids love the movie
My under 5 year olds LOVE this movie. They find it spell binding and on rainy days they like this or just about any of the Barbie movies to go on. As an adult I find it one of the less entertaining Barbie movies, but it has some really good points to it. It is one of the first of the Barbie movies and is set in the 'fantasy' world of the sevententh century, a time of magic and dragons. It is very very loosely based around the story of Rapunzel although the only real reference to Rapunzel is that she lives in a tower, has long hair and has a Rapunzel style dream sequence. It is very fairy tale beginning - beautiful girl forced to do chores for a step-mother character - (who is ably voiced by Angelica Houston). I really like the animal sidekicks here - Penelope the dragon and Hobie the Hare who are her friends and allies in all things. Rapunzel lives in isolation, working for Gottel, her stepmother, until one day by accident she discovers that not only are her parents not dead, but she can escape from the castle - which she does - ending up in a nearby village. There she meets a Prince and finds out that the prince and his father the king have been in constant battle with the neighbouring kingdom. She asks the simple question why - but it is answerable. Gottel finds out where she has been and imprisons her in a tower - but through goodness and friendship Rapunzel prevails. What I really liked about this movie is the importance of friendship and love - which wins through in the end. This values honesty and good values in all things, including believing in yourself and your children, and being able to admit when you are wrong
