When Disney introduced Tangled, it was meant to be like every other story of a princess stuck in a tower. Tangled travels through the Hero’s Journey by going on the Call to Adventure, Crossing the First Threshold, Supreme Ordeal, and the Resurrection. Tangled goes through the Call to Adventure close to the beginning of the film. Rapunzel asks Gothel if she can go outside, but she says no; fortunately, Flynn shows up and promises to take her to see the lights and return home.

When Gothel finally traps Rapunzel back into the tower, Rapunzel figures out that she is the lost princess and that she must do everything in her power to get back to the castle. Flynn then returns to find Rapunzel chained and bound just enough for Gothel to stab him. In Flynn’s last movements, he cuts off all of Rapunzel’s hair preventing Gothel from keeping Rapunzel trapped in the tower. Rapunzel escapes and brings Flynn back to life with her magical tears. This moves the journey on to the finale and helps us understand how the beginning of the story led up to that part. The whole movie had been building up to this part when she finally understands that her whole life is a lie. Some may say that this does not complete the entire journey, but if you look closer Rapunzel took a trip just to make it to the
Tangled was an entertaining eye opening illustration that included action, romance, comedy, that would be enough to keep the whole family entertained. Time and time again, Disney films are being criticized by the public because of the lack of ethnic diversity; this lack of ethnic diversity can be illustrated through the film titled Tangled. In 1995, Disney gave us Pocahontas and in the year of 1998 Disney had released Mulan. This showed the public that, Disney was in fact capable of creating films in which the lead protagonist was not white, however it wasn’t till more recently that racial diversity truly had taken stand when The Princess and the Frog (2009) was released. While, I applaud the efforts of Disney in attempting

He brought magic and imagination into our world. I loved Disney and so did my parents and even my grandparents.
