We all know that Disney tends to pretty dramatically change the original
fairytales to give them all a happy ending, so today we are going to talk
about the original Rapunzel.
[claps] and I'm just still happy because that's Rapunzel
Hello and welcome to the Queendom I'm Sarah Ingle and today we're telling the
story of the original Rapunzel, which is quite different from Tangled, and even
though we're all big Tangled fans around here we still like the old Rapunzel. In
fact, growing up I actually had this really old -- uh a cassette, not cassette
what are they called? hmm VHS!
that's how long ago this was. a VHS at my
grandparents' house that I would watch and had fairy tales in it and one of
them was the story of Rapunzel and I always closer to the original fairy tale
than Disney's but it still wasn't quite on and it was one of my favorites to
watch it was probably Rapunzel and The Princess and the pea if you didn't
already know Rapunzel is a German fairy tale written
by the Grimm brothers I know some people think that Rapunzel's French because
tangled the castle in it was based off of a castle that is in France but
Rapunzel and the story itself are still supposed to be basically set in Germany
if you stick around to the end I have a very special surprise that I'm gonna
share with you guys there's also teasing some very exciting
stuff coming up it's also tied with Rapunzel so without any further ado
Rapunzel the original once upon a time there was a man and his wife and the man
loved the wife as man's should love the wives they really wanted to have a child
so one of their neighbors is this enchantress that everybody hates and
nobody dares talk to her and she's the evil and stuff and she's surrounded by
this really big high wall because she wants to keep all of them out - the wife
is pregnant so she gets these weird cravings but anyway so Rapunzel's
parents can actually see into her garden out their back window I guess maybe they
live up high on the hill mama Rapunzel sees these flowers and the
flowers are called Rapunzel there's literally a type of flower called
Rapunzel I didn't know that and it's basically it's kind of like a turnip so
like the flowers aren't the part you eat but there's like a turnip in the ground
and a flower grows out and so this lady sees like the green stems of this of
these radishes and she just for whatever reason really really really wants some
of these radishes and she just literally thinks she's going to die if she does
not get a radish and we talk about dramatic so her husband who loves her
very much and does not want her to die and does not want her to be sad wants to
go radish crimes over the wall and gets her some radishes or Rapunzel flowers
with grabs has attached them so that she can eat them Rapunzel's mom loves some
Rapunzel salad which is kind of a strange thing to say when you think that
her future daughter is gonna be a clothes Rapunzel
anyway she loves this salad so much like they say it like she wants it even more
now she's like addicted to this salad so her husband tries to go back and get her
even more of these radishes tries to sneak back in but this time he gets
caught by the enchantress and she's mad as she should be because people
shouldn't be stealing your Rapunzel radishes
I'm so sorry it's for my wife she says she she thinks she's going to die if she
does not get to eat your Rapunzel radishes and honestly the witch won't
chant rest's it's probably like really she's going to die I don't know I don't
buy it I think there's a little silly here but then the Enchantress has to
take this to a whole nother level and basically says it's okay you can have
the radishes if you give me your child that your wife is going to have and the
guy agrees priorities people priorities and what world does is it worth risking
your husband's life to still go into this crazy witch lady's yard to steal
her radishes and then trade your child for radishes it makes no sense but they
really like these radish that's demented so anyway this guy gets scared promises
their firstborn child to the Enchantress and then when his wife has their first
child The Enchantress comes to collect their child and decides to call the
child rapunzel Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child under the Sun she
doesn't get put up in a tower until she's 12 years old she just lives behind
the wall with the witch and still has never met anybody else
she's lives behind the wall but when she's 12 she's a super super long hair
so the which puts her up in a tower where there's no stairs and so the only
way to get up and down is by her braided hair she like throws it over this hook
and then she just buttons will lick down your hair
it's 1 or 2 years later and the king's son is riding through the forest and
here's her beautiful voice and it's just like enchanted by her voice and loves
listening to her singing goes to find where the singing is coming from and he
sees this tower and hears this voice coming from him Rapunzel apparently
sings a lot because she doesn't have a lot else to do she doesn't have her
I am the usual morning lineup in this tower actually maybe she does he starts
to come back every day to listen to the singing because he's obsessed with it
there's a lot of people with obsessions in this story so one day the prince sees
the Enchantress come and sees how she gets in to the tower when it got dark
out he goes to try and give the crippled little Rapunzel look thrown her hair I
don't know maybe he tries to do it her boy so she doesn't notice
anyway Rapunzel does let down her hair and she brings him up and she's very
startled just like in the movie because she's never seen a man before the only
person she ever met was the Enchantress so basically he starts talking to her
like they're friends and she realized that he's actually very friendly and
somehow I miss very first meeting he's asleep telling her how much he loves her
singing is completely enchanted by it and wants her to marry him
she says Dame Gothel journeyman Gothel she thinks that while he's going to love
me more than Gothel will so yes I agree to marry however she does not know how
to get down from the tower because the only way in and out is with her hair
anyway he decides that since Gothel's there, during during the day he's gonna come at
night and bring her a scarf every night until they can tie it's enough scarves
together to let her down from the tower I've read someplace on the internet that
supposedly Gothel notices that Rapunzel is pregnant and that's how she knows
someone's been up there the version I read that had the side-by-side German
translation I mean obviously I don't read German so I don't know if it's
correct basically says the reason God will know
someone's been up there is because she says why does it take you so long to get
up here why it's so much faster when when the Prince comes up here The
Enchantress here's this Gothel here's this and she's like so angry she's like
you've betrayed me you let somebody else up here and is
so mad Gothel takes a pair scissors, cuts Rapunzel's hair -- Rapunzel's like
devastated so sad that her hair's all gone, and then Gothel takes her to a
desert and leaves her there with short hair. I don't know why she just does I
think it's tick to punish her the prince is supposed to come back
again and so when he goes rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair
guess who lets down Rapunzel's cut hair The Enchantress Gothel lets down
Rapunzel's cut hair and so he climbs up it and then he's like me are not
Rapunzel and she says you're never gonna see Rapunzel again and he's so sad that
the Prince jumps out the window and lands somehow eyeballs first in a
thorn bush and his eyes are God's doubt with thorns now he's blind and cannot
see he's so sad that he cannot find Rapunzel
but he just wanders around the forest meets nothing but roots and berries and
cries and weeps and laments about how he cannot find Rapunzel and he is so sad
so anyways he's wandering around in the in the forest for years she's wandering
around in the desert for years and she apparently also had his twins so she's
in the desert with their twin children Luke and Leia not really but maybe and
one day as he's wandering he hears a voice and it is Rapunzel's voice and he
goes towards it he finds Rapunzel and she's so happy to see him that she cries
and the tears from her eyes hit his eyes and he lies just like in the movie kind
of and so now he's able to see and he's so happy that he's found his wife and
his children and he leads them off to the kingdom where they live happily ever
after it's actually a happy ending it's likely
all it's very tail it actually had a happy
and he was a very very dark time literally with some gouged out eyes but
they actually have a happy ending know what I think it's almost so interesting
as how many parts that Disney actually even if they didn't make it the same
they took from the original fairy tale really like put this cool spin on it and
snuck it in there somehow it's just very cool tangle tangle no Rapunzel was
written in 1812 so back in those times people did get married when they're like
thirteen fourteen that wasn't anything that was outside of societal more so
it's not even that weird I feel like Rapunzel and the prince didn't even do
anything that weird that's probably why they got to live happily ever after the
parents nobody ever knows what happened to them they just now are childless but
can I have a lot of salad yeah them so now you guys had to find out the very
exciting news part of the reason I wanted to share this with you this
