Tangled is about a girl named Rapuzel, who has magical and very long hair. She was born in to a royal family and was stolen as a baby. On her 18th birthday she discovers who she really is.

In the Hero's Jouney, the are three main parts: the departure, the initiation, and the return along with some subparts

The Departure

They night she was born, a woman named Mother Golthel wanted to say young forever so she stole Rapuzel and kept her in a tower
