Synopsis Two fairytale classics collide in this fast-paced comedy for all ages. Dame Gothel prepares for a ball with the assistance of her magical minions, Rumpelstiltskin and Hob. Her young daughter Rapunzel ruins the festivities when she cuts her own hair. Dame Gothel banishes her to the tower until her hair looks normal again. Helpful Hob places a spell on Rapunzel to make her hair grow faster. Her hair keeps growing, but her social-climbing mother keeps finding reasons to keep her locked up. Freedom seems out of reach, until the King issues a proclamation that whoever can create gold can marry his son. Rumpelstiltskin uses a spinning wheel to turn Rapunzel’s hair into gold. But Rumpelstiltskin’s help comes at a high price.
