didn’t know was that Rapunzel’s golden hair contained magical healing powers. A selfish old
woman named Mother Gothel knew of the magic in Rapunzel’s hair and wanted it to keep
herself young. So she kidnapped the baby and raised her in a tower deep in the woods, never
telling her that she was a princess. She loved gazing out the tower window at the lights that
floated in the night sky every year on her birthday. She longed to leave the tower and see them
up close, but Mother Gothel refused. Meanwhile, a young thief named Flynn Rider had stolen
something special from the King’s castle, and the royal guards were after him. Suddenly, he saw
