The Funny Alternative to Rapunzel When She Cant Hear
Disney's 2010 hit movie "Tangled" is a fun, updated take on the Brothers Grimm's version of the fairy tale "Rapunzel," but… did it also totally predict the coronavirus?
No, not really, but that's the humorous conclusion fans came to after what we assume are marathon re-watch sessions thanks to all that free time caused by the coronavirus quarantine.
It's not as ridiculous as it sounds though, thanks to some rather amusing coincidences. See, in the film Rapunzel was kidnapped as a baby by the witch Mother Gothel, and then hidden away from the world in an isolated tower. Told that the world is a dangerous place filled with things that can kill her, Rapunzel is forbidden to interact with anyone new for decades. Or, as it's now known, social distancing.

But that's not all. It turns out that for centuries, Gothel kept herself young and healthy using a magical flower that grew on her property. Then one day, soldiers from a nearby kingdom showed up and seized the flower from her so they could use it to heal the queen. Yes, that's right, the richest person in the land confiscated medicine from someone who was hoarding it — then they just used it for themselves.
So Gothel went to that kingdom to steal it back, then discovered that while the flower was gone — not enough vaccines for everyone apparently — its power was inherited by the queen's newborn daughter, Rapunzel, or more specifically her hair. Cue the kidnapping and years of isolation as Goethel used Rapunzel's magical hair to remain young.
But most importantly, the name of the kingdom Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel from? Corona. We see what you didn't intentionally do there, Disney.

That's about where the similarities end of course. In the movie, Rapunzel parents, the king and queen of Corona, desperately want her back, while coronavirus doesn't exactly have a benevolent reputation. But we admit it would be nice if it turned out someone could heal the rest of us with their hair or, as revealed at the end of the movie, even just their tears.
Even so, if Rapunzel can spend 18 years of her life trapped in quarantine, surely we can all handle a few weeks, right?
Obviously, fans had a lot of fun on Twitter pointing out these coincidences. Read on for some of the funniest reactions:
When you realized Rapunzel was quarantined for 16 years and the fictional kingdom where she was born is called "Corona".
BITCHH WE LIVING IN A TANGLED WORLD

Fun fact: Corona is the name of the Kingdom in the Disney film Tangled where Rapunzel was forced to social distances by her mother. Thanks, @Disney. What other predictions await us in your vault?

Thank you social media for reminding me that Rapunzel was locked in a tower in the kingdom of Corona for 17 yrs. We can handle a few months of quarantine. Also, watch the tv series. It's amazing!#Rapunzel #tangled #tangledtheseries #disney #fanart #quarentine #corona pic.twitter.com/XAgViowtS4

Corona is an island kingdom and the birthplace of Rapunzel in Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled.
After a significant period of isolation it is also where Rapunzal met her future husband/prince.
Just saying.

"Tangled" stars Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, and the movie was written by "This is Us" creator Dan Fogelman and directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard. What do they know that we don't?

Just watch one of these movies with extremely happy endings, every single one guaranteed to leave you feeling so upbeat and genuinely awesome that you'll forget all about covid-19. Coronavirus, schmoronavirus, we say!
-
-
"Back to the Future" (1985): Marty fixes his life and his parents' lives with time travel. Then we get a SUPER DOPE sequel hook. And then comes Huey Lewis and the News at their artistic and commercial peak to make you feel so good you won't care about a statewide lockdown.
-
-
-
"Chef" (2014): This is a great movie if you want to remember the Before Times, when we could still leave our houses and eat street food. You also get a dance party in the closing credits. Take that, end times anxiety.
-
"Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" (2009): Tim FINALLY shows real affection for his son and then Flint and Sam kiss. No, I'm not coughing I'm crying.
-
-
-
"Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" (1993): Wait, the two dogs and their kitty friend make it home alive and Chance learns to love his family? Shut up! I'm not crying; you're crying. I SAID SHUT UP! I AM NOT CRYING!
-
"Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again!" (2018): It's already one of the greatest movie musicals of all time before the ending turns into a totally insane sing along to Abba's "Super Trouper" featuring the older characters dancing with their younger selves, the ghost of Meryl Streep, and CHER!!!!
-
-
"Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" (2016): The criminally underappreciated masterpiece from The Lonely Island is nonstop hilarious, and then Michael Bolton shows up at the end to sing "Incredible Thoughts." Also, the picture here is the world's cutest kitten just hugging a dog, which you'd know if your brain was a genius.
-
-
"Ratatouille" (2007): You know this movie is great and you know the end is great. Seems like now would be a great time to watch it again, doesn't it?
-
-
"Shazam!" (2019): By far the best movie not called "Superman: The Movie" to be based on a DC Comic. If you didn't yell "Hell Yes" and embarrass yourself in the theater when the thing depicted in the image above happened, you need a hug.
-
"Sing Street" (2016): Awesome songs, a great coming-of-age story, then we end with a truly cathartic bittersweet moment of hope for the future and the successful pursuit of one's dreams. For instance, I dream of being able to leave the house again.
-
"To All the Boys I've Loved Before" (2018): This is a pretty good kiss, too.
-
"Trolls" (2016): When Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick sing "Can't Stop the Feeling" to turn the Bergens into happy dancing party people your mood will be dramatically improved, and I know because in November 2016 I saw this three times in the theater because, for some reason, I needed cheering up.
-
"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971): "Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted." "What's that?" "He lived happily ever after." Just like we will once this whole thing is over.
