ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tangled

"Tangled" is a movie about a girl named Rapunzel who has really long hair that glows when she sings. She lives in a tower because her mom, who stole her when she was a baby, wants to keep her safe. Rapunzel wants to see the world, but her mom always says no.

One day, a thief named Flynn Rider climbs up to Rapunzel's tower trying to hide from the guards. Rapunzel makes a deal with Flynn: if he takes her to see the lanterns that are released every year on her birthday (which she's always wanted to see), she'll give him back the crown he stole.

So, Rapunzel and Flynn set off on an adventure to see the lanterns, but they're chased by the guards and also a woman named Mother Gothel, who is actually the one who kidnapped Rapunzel. She wants to keep Rapunzel locked up in the tower forever so that she can keep using her magic hair to stay young.

After many adventures, Rapunzel finally discovers the truth about her past and realizes that Mother Gothel never really loved her. With the help of Flynn and some unlikely friends, she is able to break free from Mother Gothel's grip and finally see the world she's always dreamed of.
