Whereas in Tangled, Rapunzel is a royal and her hair is cut by a thief called Flynn Rider, which makes it rape. In the original version of the Rapunzel fairy tale, Rapunzel wasn't a royal, and Rapunzel's hair is cut as a punishment by a witch called, Mother Gothel, when she finds out that Rapunzel was pregnant. Disney's Tangled is an animated spin on Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel fairy tale, there are two primary difference between this one and the original, one being the person who cuts Rapunzel's hair, and the other being the royal status of Rapunzel.
