What if... Mother Gothel DID know best? We don't know very much about her after-all, and she had lived for CENTURIES! Think of all the things she's seen and lived through. It's unfortunate that Disney's Tangled only picks up at the end of hers, so follow me as I delve (too) deeply into "who was Mother Gothel?"

For this animated brainstorm / fun Tangled theory, I'm looking again at the Brothers Grimms' fairy tale "Rapunzel" and seeing how it tracks with Disney's "Tangled." These tales are so different, it's quite a fun adventure, as always! But, in both Grimm and Disney, I've always felt like Mother Gothel got quite the raw deal, even though she was just minding her own dang business, doing all the cool things witches do!

A single drop of sunshine, preserved for centuries under the care and protection of Mother Gothel. But, honestly, how long do you think such a beautiful gift would have lasted in the Kingdom of Corona if it hadn’t been for Mother Gothel's guardianship of it? I doubt the royal family tried to use a single leaf at first to try to brew the potion - you know, NOT kill the whole flower off the bat. Luckily, that power survives and thrives in a new form: the child, and I’d like to think it could have continued passing on down the generations had Flynn Rider not cut Rapunzel’s hair. Think of all the healing that could have been passed along throughout the kingdom! So many healers as time went on! If ONLY Mother Gothel (and the whole Kingdom?!) had acted differently, this Tangled story of Rapunzel could have been quite a beautiful story of sharing! Also, is Mother Gothel a Goddess? Is she a Witch?
