Rapunzel

Synopsis:
Rapunzel is a typical teenage girl, with a few exceptions: she was stolen from her real parents by a wicked witch who pretends to be her mother; her home is a high-security tower in the middle of nowhere; and her hair is long enough to be used as a ladder. Shes content, though, and as far as she knows, hers is a great life. . .if a little boring. On her sixteenth birthday, excitement finds Rapunzel in the form of the charming and handsome Prince Brian when he stumbles upon her remote abode, and she realizes how much she has been missing! Brian dodges the witch to visit his new friend regularly, and the two plot an escape. But the witch is crafty and casts a spell that sets the young couple on a zany path to a happy ending.
