How much can you possibly do when you’re locked in a tower? It’s amazing that there was a single spot available on the walls or the ceiling for her to paint any longer, or that there was a single ingredient left since she seemed to bake everything she could get her hands on. Then, when she confronted him with the idea of having a dream we got this musical number that was actually very inspiring and quite funny. But Rapunzel, being who she is, decided to be tough and throw a frying pan at one of the bandits to try and get him to put Eugene down. Eugene obviously doesn’t buy it since he just wants to get paid and would much rather have been out the door before the bandits even noticed them. I’ve Got a DreamĮven big, mean tough guys can have a dream of something better in their lives, and it goes to show that even the roughest guys have other interests besides hurting people. During this moment however it was something that neither of them could fight any longer. Eugene, being all about the money the crown would bring, decided to go and take her to the lights, but he didn’t count on falling in love with her along the way, or her falling for him. This was the bargain she struck with Eugene, she wanted to see the lights and then she would give him back his stolen crown. One downfall of Rapunzel’s tower, at least for Mother Gothell, was that every year on her birthday Rapunzel could see the lanterns as they were lifted into the sky from the palace, a phenomenon that she knew nothing about but wanted to see up close. But it didn’t work the way she thought obviously. In fact she even came up with a litany of dangers that would befall her if she ever left, thereby insuring that the girl would never dare to leave the tower since monsters and bad men lurked outside the walls and would just as soon devour the innocence she represented as look at her.
I did say MOST of the songs in the movie are empowering or adventurous, but this song was all about control and keeping Rapunzel where she was in the tower since Mother Gothell was the type that coveted the power that Rapunzel’s hair held and wouldn’t let her leave her place of solitude. Here are some of the best songs from Tangled. The songs in this movie are cute and cuddly like any Disney movie but they’re also very empowering if you listen to them since all but a few speak of being adventurous, strong, and hopeful in the manner that we feel when we’re young, ambitious, and ready to take on the world. This time they managed to nab Mandy Moore for the soundtrack, a noted singer and actress that has excelled in a lot of things she’s done and was a prize that they simply couldn’t squander. The songs used in the movie are also some of the best since Disney rarely ever does things halfway, meaning that if the movie is going to be something special then so is the music. The tale of Rapunzel has been told in a few ways when it comes to children’s stories, but Tangled is perhaps one of the best to come along in a long time.
