Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale Rapunzel, the essay examines whether Disney's Tangled retains the essence of a traditional fairy tale. It discusses key elements such as the conflict between good and evil, the presence of supernatural wonders, and the typical narrative arc leading to a happy resolution. The analysis raises questions about the film's fidelity to the fairy tale genre, particularly in its portrayal of characters and the absence of certain traditional elements, while still engaging with themes of love and freedom.
