Meanwhile Rapunzel knocks on the door of the house her parents lived in and is turned away. While exploring her farm, Jonah and Prince snack on various plants and both turn blue. Rapunzel remembers that her parents lived on Spellington Lane, next to Frau Gothel's farm where every animal was named after a plant.Ībby suspects that Frau Gothel's powers actually come from her plants. Rapunzel calms a baby with a song, and the mother lets them borrow her carriage. There is a five-day wait in line to see the prince, as he is giving gems to the neediest. They hail a horse taxi, or 'haxi,' and the fare is one sapphire, but as they are jewel-less Abby barters her wristwatch for a ride to the palace. Rapunzel explains they are in the kingdom of Glimmer, a source of many jewels. They also begin to suspect that Frau Gothel isn't actually a witch. They find a secret hatch and escape the tower. Rapunzel tells Frau Gothel she cut her own hair off because 'I was hot.'

Additionally, without Rapunzel's long hair there is no way to escape her tower. Rapunzel tells them her special hair was 'all I had' and now that there is nothing special about her, the prince won't fall in love with her. Jonah ruins Rapunzel's hair by climbing it while wearing soccer cleats, then Abby cuts off most of it by trying to give it a trim. They fall through the mirror with Prince and land in the story of Rapunzel. Abby is in no mood to go through their magic mirror, but when Jonah wants to do it she can't let him go by himself. Īfter Abby comes in 9th place in the fifth grade spelling bee, she worries she is no longer smart. If we don’t untangle this knotty tale soon, we could be stuck in this mess for good! Avoid getting swallowed by a giant spider.Now Rapunzel’s hair is WAY too short and we’re trapped in a tiny tower with a veggie loving witch after us! Tell me again WHY he wore them up Rapunzel's hair ? Maybe a trim will help. But her smooth locks suddenly look like they’ve been attacked by a cheese grater due to my annoying brother's soccer cleats. When my brother and I end up in the story of Rapunzel, we can’t resist climbing her hair.
