As I was watching Tangled, I cannot fathom some of the lessons that the original writers, The Grimm Brothers has written. The story of Rapunzel as she has been "kidnapped" by old crone, Gothel who wanted eternal beauty by Rapunzel's golden hair which has special powers. This is due to a golden flower earlier on which has the power to either make you beautiful or can heal you and Rapunzel's mother who was saved by this power and given birth to Rapunzel who has grown with this magical power of her hair. Sparking interest for Gothel to snatch her and taken to a tower where she and Rapunzel lived as her daughter who's hair has grown longer throughout Rapunzel's childhood abling her to use her long hair for Gothel to leave and enter her tower anytime, grappling/rope-climbing her hair. On her eighteenth birthday, she always wanted to see the stars/lights that happen every birthday and where it's originated but her "mother", Gothel refuses to take her outside due to bad things lurking outside who wants to steal her golden hair for which has powers. Long story short, a professional thief, Flynn/Eugene with a stolen tiara helped her break Gothel's promise of leaving the tower despite his plea that he will not return to the place due to his history but decided to help her find that source. It's a journey of escaping the authorities and the twins who he backstabbed and a world of which Rapunzel had never seen before. 
 
The lesson of being a overprotective mother even though she is using her isn't really a great lesson here as other animated movies had done it before. For instance, Finding Memo is an example of having a protective mother worrying about her son who's vanished off into a perilous journey in the ocean where dangers and experiences spark in his corner of it's eyes. While as Gothel, aside from keeping/treasuring her so that she could have eternal beauty acts like a mother who is probably lonely through her life not having a sense of beauty and wanted to start this kind of life with "kidnapping" Rapunzel from her kingdom, using the power and not letting go. It's a theme of overprotectiveness as a mother "knows best" wanting her daughter to live in harmony inside the tower and is concerned and responsible of not letting her be endangered. It's not that she's using her, it's really about any other mom that doesn't want you to get "influence" or get any ideals of learning from bad/evil people out there in society like violence and drugs that can lead to various conquences in your life. It can also be from a strict family, who wanted their kids to either grow up like they did with the same goals in mind or make them become more successful in life by restricting them to things that they really don't want to do, becoming a uptight perfectionist or "the jack of all trades" prodigy. This pretty much pertains in society today, from pianoist to math.  
 
On the other hand, what that affects in your life is isolation and misery such examples as Rapunzel occupying her time, learning professions like cooking, painting and doing other weird things similar to having a strict family forcing you to become something you don't want to be when you grow up. But what changed her life is when Eugene/Flynn comes to her life not knowing anyone but her mother's lessons, this made her become brave and "stand her for herself" or rebellious as Eugene would put it, as they go off to an adventure to find the source of that light. He pretty much sums it up with the stages of kids today; from listening to their parents to becoming rebellious against them becoming more free to yourself to "look outside of your tower/box" and see the wonders that you had never seen before. That is the case when Rapunzel had "flew" outside her tower and had touched and feel the outside world embracing her before her eyes, touch and smell. It was a consquence to her despite her mother's promise of which she had broken but it has given a opportunity to be free and roam around with joy and happiness rather than isolation and misery. That consquence is rather a exciting yet perilous journey similar to Finding Memo where he is being a danger for sharks and evil dwennings inside the ocean in a place where he had never seen before and Rapunzel and Eugene undertake the authorities that Eugene started, a dangerous horse and the two twin brothers that he backstabbed to get the tiara.  
 
Later on, Gothel discovers that Rapunzel had escaped from the tower and desperate to find her. Like being a protective mother, she wants to find her daughter by any means possible but she had devised a plan with the brothers to lure Rapunzel away from Eugene to make her a concerned mother disappointed that her daughter had broken her promise and had become a target by bad people. It's rather a scheme but the principal is that "by any means necessary", your parents will go through lengths and struggles to find out where you are because they will not get a second chance of embracing you and a resonpible parent as themselves. But the finale destroys the moral lessons in exchange of Gothel showing her "true colours" and her fate. This lesson of becoming rebellious and adventrous in your life having your mother killed is upside down and it may be why childs these days are what they are.  
 
Another example is Jack and The Bean Stalk of having mixed lessons that isn't appropiate for younger audiences. About a poor farming family who had sold a cow and a guilable Jack who sold the cow in exchange for some magical beans. This didn't bode well for his mom as their only chance of survival is selling the cow but one day as Jack planted to seeds, it spurted out to length up to the sky where it became a Bean Stalk. It sparked interest for Jack as he climbed the beanstalk and witness another world that is hidden in their society. With two towering monsters living in harmony, Jack found that they live up here. Now this is where it gets crazy, he becomes a "thief" and decides to steal the monster's treasure from "the golden harp", gold coins to a prized chicken. This is where they are no villains in this fairy tale but the main protagonist himself. These monsters clearly just want to live away from humans so they build their world in the skies and having a trastpasser in their territory is the reason why the monster did not like it. The moral lesson of this story is that "stealing is good" and tresspassing is good for kids and its a horrible story to read to your kids, when they grow up as thieves and thugs later on.  
 
Such a story about Rapunzel and bad lessons to be taught is why kids are what they are today, whether or not they actually had read or heard of these stories. This doesnt neglect that I hated Tangled but that the moral lessons in this and Jack and the Bean Stalk really shouldn't be taken under consideration in your childhood. Pixar and Disney films had often given out good moral lessons to any audience but there are some to keep in mind that it's wrong. I think its a great and wonderful animated film brimmed with the singing talents of Mandy Moore and the likes of the cast albeit Brad Garett. Like I said in the review, it's pretty much a "palate-cleanser" from that other Disney blockbuster animated hit, Rio with the singing talents of Jaime Foxx and the miscast of Jesse Eisenberg and fucking George Lopez.
