    Barbie as RapunzelThis fanciful retelling of the classic fairytale casts BarbieTM as Rapunzel, an imaginative, courageous girl who is locked in a hidden tower and magically paints her way to a life of freedom and true love. For as long as she can remember, seventeen-year-old Rapunzel has lived under the watchful eye of her guardian Gothel, a haughty vengeful witch who lives in an isolated manor protected by powerful magic. Lost in a lonely life of menial chores, Rapunzel finds solace in her painting and her faithful friends Hobie, an ornery, humorous rabbit, and PenelopeTM, a clumsy, lovable young dragon.

    One day Rapunzel discovers a hidden tunnel beneath Gothel's manor, which leads her to a vibrant, beautiful kingdom she never knew existed. Exhilarated by her newfound freedom, Rapunzel meets handsome Prince Stefan, the son of King Frederick, whose kingdom is caught in a terrible war with neighboring King Wilhelm. Feeling the first stirrings of love, Rapunzel vows to return the next day. But Gothel, furious at the news of Rapunzel's escape, locks her magically in a high tower protected by an unbreakable spell. Separated from everything she loves, Rapunzel loses hope until she discovers that her paintbrush can magically bring her canvases to life. Using the power of her imagination, and the help of her loyal friends, Rapunzel realizes she has everything she needs to win her freedom from Gothel, bring peace to two feuding kingdoms and make her dreams come true.
