Talking The Mickey

This week we're going to the harmless island of Corona for a love story between Rapunzel and literally the first man she lays eyes on in Tangled.  Join your favourite Disney Podcasters – Ellie, Ethan, Georgia, and Ian as we're heading to the festival of the lights for Rapunzel's birthday.  Questions we asked this week include: Does Mother Gothel actually love Rapunzel? How does Rapunzel know how to swim? Has every Disney princess since Rapunzel had the same face? Is the scene at the dam ripped from a video game or designed just so they could use it for a videogame? Is this one of Alan Menken's worse collections of songs? Did they sing about Mentos? Shouldn't Rapunzel have giant arms? How did Disney get away with Flynn elbowing Maximus in the face? What are the rules for Rapunzel's hair anyway? and How does Rapunzel know how to Swim?
