That I may climb it like a stair."
The above lines are from a version of The Brothers Grimm story of Rapunzel. This month we plan to read as many picture book versions of the classic story as possible while we wait for the release of the movie, Tangled. At the end of this month, on November 24, 2010, Walt Disney Pictures will release their 50th full-length animated feature, a new, unique story based on the fairy tale, Rapunzel.

Like I said, in the meantime we plan to check out some of the many various children's books about Rapunzel. See our Rapunzel picture book list and reviews here: http://www.brimfulcuriosities.com/2010/11/rapunzel-picture-books-childrens.html
SurLaLune Fairy Tales also has a pretty comprehensive list of versions if you're interested in doing a little research of your own: http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rapunzel/books.html

Synopsis (Provided by studio)
When the kingdom’s most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) is taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a feisty teen with 70 feet of golden hair who’s looking for her ticket out of the tower where she’s been locked away for years, the unlikely duo sets off on a hilarious, hair-raising escapade filled with adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.

We are looking forward to this movie too. The trailer is pretty funny. I think it will be very different from the original versions though. We have read two different versions, so I'll have to check out some more. Thanks.
I'm excited about this movie! I love Zachary Levi on "Chuck" monday nights, so I'm anxious to see how he does in this! :-)

This sounds like it will be a great movie. The shirts and silly bandz would be so much fun to win.

Honestly, Paul Zelinsky's Rapunzel is the only one I think we've seen as a stand-alone book. Off to see more.

I'm fine with Disney taking artistic liberties with the story, but I definitely need to check out some classic retellings before E sees it!
I love the story of Rapunzel and look forward to viewing the Disney version of this wonderful story.

I just saw an advanced screening of Tangled a few days ago and it was fantastic :) I loved it and can't wait to see it again! Definitely the best adaptation I have seen!
I just watched the trailer to this. I never even knew about it, sounds interesting and I am fairly sure my kids will love it. So can't wait to see it.

I am thinking Rapunzel will be added to our list of kick butt princesses along with Mulan.
Went to Disneyland a few weeks ago, and all the building and rides in Fantasyland are wrapped in Rapunzels hair- it was really neat.Thanks for the chance.

Rapunzel is good in the movie but I dont like the violence of her hitting him over the head with the pan, kids are vulnerable and will pick that up
