Description
In this simplified retelling of the classic fairy tale, Rapunzel, a girl with long golden hair, is kept imprisoned in a lonely tower by a witch who raised her after her parents broke a promise. The witch climbs the tower using Rapunzel's hair, and later a prince hears her singing, befriends her, and helps her escape. The story takes place in a timeless, magical kingdom with a tall tower set in a forest, and centers on themes of captivity, courage, and rescue.
