Personally I love this scene for several reasons. One is I love the passionate, personal quality in the animation. Second I find it to be very moving and magical. Last I like it because it is truly a great moment and is done perfectly. One magical moment can make the difference between an above average film and a classic. This and the lanterns sequence make the difference for Tangled in my mind. Thank you to everyone who worked on this scene for making it as special and powerful as it is!

But no, Eugene had to go for the dramatic move. The dramatic moves rarely make any sense, but they sure do have an emotional impact. I adore nearly every Disney song ever created. I sing them loud and proud, in my car by myself or under my breath as I'm doing grocery shopping.
I know for a fact I'm not the only one who does this. So usually, the more songs in a Disney movie, the happier I am. The songs in Tangled are phenomenal. In fact, I think they're underappreciated as far as Disney songs go.
What gets me so annoyed is the song of healing that Rapunzel has to sing in order to make her healing powers grow. Mother Gothel teaches her how to sing it, and every time she does, her hair begins to glow and grow, restoring youth to Gothel's aged features. Why is this a thing?
This healing ability was once stored within a flower, right? Since when do flowers have any auditory organs whatsoever? I'll tell you when: never! Actually, I'm not one hundred percent certain about this. Don't quote me. There is no reason for Rapunzel or Mother Gothel or anyone to have to sing in order to heal a person. Why should a few musical notes illicit this magical glowing hair to ignite?
Are you guys ready to read about the biggest flaw in Tangled? Well, it can all be laid at the doorstep of Mother Gothel. She ruins her own plan by making the most asinine decision I've ever seen a villain make. So Gothel's main plan is to keep Rapunzel locked up away in her tower for forever so that Gothel can constantly use Rapunzel's magical hair to stay young.
Rapunzel showing any desire to leave her tower whatsoever puts a kink in Gothel's plans. One of the main reasons that Rapunzel wants to leave her tower is because there is a fantastical display of lights that rises from the castle every night on the night of Rapunzel's birthday.
Understandably, Rapunzel is curious as to why this happens. And who do you think is to blame for Rapunzel's curiosity? Why, no one other than Mother Gothel herself? Who do you think told Rapunzel the actual date of her birthday instead of giving her a fake date or, better yet, not telling her that birthdays exist at all?
Rapunzel was taken from her real parents at such a young age. She grew up gaining most of her knowledge about the outside world from Mother Gothel. Gothel could have told her any manner of lies in order to keep Rapunzel content, including one about her birthday. Gothel has no one to blame for her demise except for herself.
Seriously, sometimes I think I put more thought into the plans of villains than the villains themselves. Sloppy, Gothel. Truly sloppy. Rapunzel does a lot of things with her hair that, quite frankly, she should not be able to do. I get that Tangled is an animated kids movie and should therefore not be taken too seriously, but Rapunzel's hair is treated like a tool for any occasion, the ultimate answer to any problem our heroine comes across.
I can somewhat stand Rapunzel using her hair to lift people into her tower, but no way should she be able to use it to lower herself to the ground the way she does in the movie.
As we saw several times when she hefted people into the tower, her hair, let loose from the very top, barely touches the grass. But when she is seen lowering herself down, we see that her hair is looped twice around in her grip in the manner a pulley system works. In order for that to work, her hair would have to be twice as long as we've seen it to be.
If it wasn't, there would not be enough hair on one side to bring her safely to the ground. Rapunzel's hair, surprisingly in this instance, would be too short. Of course, there is no regard for reality when this happens. Come on, Disney. If you're going to have me believe that magical hair can heal people and poor Rapunzel's scalp can handle the pressure of having her hair yanked on all the time, at least give me some realistic hair physics.
Is that too much to ask? I find Maximus the horse to be one of the most delightful characters in Tangled. His iron determination to locate the thief Flynn Rider is admirable. I can only wish that more people showed as much dedication to their jobs the way Maximus does for his.
He goes above and beyond the call of duty. You can tell Maximus means business when he begins sniffing the ground following Rider's trail like a hunting hound. Things take a turn for the even more ridiculous when Maximus confronts Rider with a sword grasped firmly between his teeth.
The two then begin to duel with their respective weapons. How is Maximus doing this?! Even if we ignore the fact that a horse has learned to bite down on a sword and swing his head around to slash at an opponent, it's still unbelievable that Maximus could have learned to do this to the extent that he could actually best a human being who is using his hands. Admittedly, Rider was using a frying pan instead of a sword against Maximus, but he's still an actual human person with opposable thumbs.
Horses can have a mean bite, but even their strong chomp can't beat the firm grasp a human has with their hands. Maximus is truly a wonder horse. If he's not given accolades on a daily basis, he is underappreciated. Disney villains always have to meet their sorry ends. Ursula was stabbed in the belly with the prow of an old ship.
Jafar was sucked into a lamp after he foolishly turned himself into a genie. Scar was set upon by his former allies, the hyenas, and presumably torn apart.
Mother Gothel, the villain in Tangled, crumbles into dust and nothingness after Eugene cuts Rapunzel's hair. Without Rapunzel's magical golden hair, Gothel can't make herself young and beautiful anymore. Once Rapunzel has turned into a brunette, she can't heal anybody.
Why did Mother Gothel disintegrate? Is it just because Rapunzel lost her healing hair? Does this mean that everyone who was ever healed by the magical flower's power got un-healed? That would mean that Eugene's hand would have to become scraped again, since Rapunzel healed that with her hair while they were off having their adventure. And what about Rapunzel's real mom? The two then exchange their rings as the bishop pronounces the couple husband and wife.
Eugene and Rapunzel kiss and everyone in attendance rejoices. The short closes with Eugene proclaiming, "So, who wants a piece of cake? Taking place around 6 months after the events of Tangled and 2 years before their marriage in Tangled: Ever After , Eugene has found a home in Corona Castle , living alongside Rapunzel and her parents.
While Rapunzel has apprehensions toward her new life as a princess, Eugene couldn't be more ecstatic with his newfound life. During " Life After Happily Ever After ", he reveals to Maximus and the Pub Thugs that he plans to propose to Rapunzel during her coronation weekend, having already practiced his speech and purchased a ring.
Once he finally proposes, however, Rapunzel rejects Eugene and storms out the room. Eugene is left confused and tries to talk things over with Rapunzel, but when he visits her bedroom to apologize, he instead finds Pascal covering for the princess, who secretly left the castle with her handmaiden and Eugene's rival Cassandra. Knowing Rapunzel's father will blow a fuse should he learn of Rapunzel's actions, Eugene teams up with Pascal to distract the king until Rapunzel returns. The following morning, Eugene finds that Rapunzel's magic hair has mysteriously returned, but she refuses to tell him how this came to be.
Though he reassures Rapunzel that she can trust him with anything, Eugene helps her and Cassandra cover up the return of the hair from the king and queen. As Rapunzel spends the day with her parents, Eugene tries to get answers from Cassandra, who berates Eugene for only focusing on what he wants out of life and ignoring Rapunzel's own personal struggles. Later on, the day of the coronation finally arrives. At the ceremony, the royal family was attacked by a band of pirates out for King Frederic's head.
Eugene joins Rapunzel and Cassandra as they successfully fight off the villains, but the truth behind Rapunzel's hair is voluntarily revealed to the king and queen during which. Fearful that the return of Rapunzel's magic hair will attract danger similar to Mother Gothel, King Frederic forbids his daughter from leaving the walls of the kingdom without his consent. Rapunzel mourns the loss of her freedom in her bedroom, though she is soon visited by Eugene who apologizes for pressuring Rapunzel with the surprise proposal, who in return apologizes for her poor reaction.
He confesses that he is unsure as to why she would reject his proposal, but assures that he is willing to stand by her side to help understand her struggles as best as he can and take their romance slow. He also promises to be patient with her at Rapunzel's request, strengthening their relationship significantly. Eugene appears as a major character in the animated series, which begins one week after the events of Tangled: Before Ever After.
In " What the Hair?! Seeing this as an obvious lie, Eugene starts to question his relationship with Rapunzel, due to her refusal to trust him. By the end, Rapunzel finally confesses the truth of how her hair returned, including the fact that Cassandra was the one that helped her escape Corona.
Eugene initially plots to turn Cassandra in but decides not to after realizing how important she is to Rapunzel. He nevertheless shows gratitude in Rapunzel's honesty. Afterward, Eugene and Rapunzel continue to hold a healthy relationship. His rivalry with Cassandra persists, however, which culminates in " Cassandra v. Eugene ". In the episode, Rapunzel forces Eugene and Cassandra to work together to escape a prison cell. Following the escapade, they reach somewhat of common ground, though they are still prone to bickering.
Outside his relationships with Rapunzel and Cassandra, Eugene struggles with a number of other issues. In " Fitzherbert P. Eugene succeeds in doing so by using his expertise to instruct the guards on how to properly capture a thief. In " In Like Flynn " and " The Way of the Willow ", Eugene tries to strengthen the relationship between himself and his future in-laws—most notably, the hardened King Frederic. Some of Eugene's backstory is also explored.
In " The Return of Strongbow ", Lance Strongbow returns to Corona in hopes of enlisting Eugene to assist the former in a heist, though, in a turn of events, Eugene and Rapunzel get Lance to reform.
This would allow Eugene and Lance to continue their longtime friendship, at adulthood. Together, they partake in a number of misadventures, one of the most significant beings in " Big Brothers of Corona ", in which Eugene and Lance are tasked to reform two juvenile thieves that had been plundering Corona.
Though he only accepts the assignment as a means to get Lance a job, Eugene comes to genuinely care for Angry and Red and tries to pull them out of their thieving ways for the sake of a better future.
Though he fails, Eugene gifts Angry with the first item he ever stole as a keepsake and sees them off. Following the events of " Secret of the Sun Drop ", Rapunzel decides to leave Corona to follow a path created by the black rocks, in hopes of uncovering the mystery behind her connection to them. In " Beyond the Corona Walls ", Eugene gathers the courage to propose to Rapunzel again, though Lance and Hook Foot believe doing so at that moment is a bad idea.
Eugene disregards their caution and practices to himself. Unbeknownst to Eugene, Rapunzel had been eavesdropping and accidentally exposes herself. The two awkwardly try to both address and avoid the situation, leaving Rapunzel anxious and Eugene downhearted. Her father, the Baron, threatens Eugene by poisoning Lance, claiming that he'll only provide the antidote once the wedding has commenced. During the Baron's formal announcement of the union, Rapunzel is present and tries to talk to Eugene.
Realizing marriage is his only hope of saving Lance, Eugene leaves Rapunzel for Stalyan. Fortunately, Rapunzel refuses to give up and crashes the wedding.
The Baron is defeated, Lance is cured, and Rapunzel and Eugene are reunited. After almost losing Eugene, Rapunzel comes to realize how much she really loves him, and nearly proposes on the spot. Eugene, however, requests that she waits until she's truly ready to settle down, not wanting to take away her freedom.
Although Rapunzel accepts, she shows signs of disappointment in Eugene's decision to wait, but regardless is happy to be together again with him once more. Throughout the journey to the Dark Kingdom , while facing a series of strange events and encounters with old and new enemies, Eugene and the others gather the remaining pieces of an ancient scroll that details Rapunzel's connection to the black rocks. Guided by a woman named Adira , Rapunzel's group is led to the Dark Kingdom, where the source of the black rocks dwells: the Moonstone Opal.
According to Adira, Rapunzel—being the Sun Drop—must connect with the Moonstone to restore balance to all things.
However, as the journey to the Dark Kingdom is nearing its end, Eugene receives a final warning from the ancient scientist and sorcerer, Lord Demanitus that a member of the group will turn against Rapunzel. Eugene becomes worried about the prophecy and when the group finally arrives at the Dark Kingdom, he finds himself separated from Rapunzel and makes a shocking discovery that he is the long-lost son of King Edmund , the ruler of the Dark Kingdom.
Edmund explains the series of events that led to Eugene's departure from the kingdom, including the death of his mother. Edmund warns Eugene that Rapunzel must stay away from the opal, fearing that the Moonstone's power will kill her as it did his wife. Eugene agrees and tries to steer Rapunzel away from the opal, but is left with great guilt and conflict over his actions. Eugene quickly begins to doubt himself, believing he doesn't know who is anymore after uncovering the truth about his family, past, and lineage.
After a talk with Pascal, however, he comes to his senses, believing he unwittingly fulfilled the prophecy and fully devotes himself to helping Rapunzel fulfill her destiny. Edmund tries to stop them, regardless but has a change of heart when Eugene expresses his everlasting faith in Rapunzel. Edmund not only accepts Rapunzel's destiny but also aids her and Eugene in approaching the stone. Before their mission can be completed, however, Rapunzel and Eugene are betrayed by Cassandra, fulfilling Demanitus's prophecy as she steals and fuses herself together with the Moonstone.
Following the events of " Destinies Collide ", Eugene and Rapunzel learn the truth behind Cassandra's betrayal, discovering she is the biological daughter of Mother Gothel and stole the Moonstone for herself as she is constantly tired of being in Rapunzel's shadow and flees the group. In the aftermath of the tragic events, Eugene, Rapunzel and their friends leave the Dark Kingdom and return to Corona after learning it is currently in danger from Varian and Andrew , who have teamed up and conquered the kingdom along with the Separatists of Saporia.
During this time, Eugene expresses concern when he realizes Rapunzel is having difficultly dealing with Cassandra's betrayal and offers comfort and reassurance she is not alone in dealing with the situation.
Eventually, with help from a reformed Varian, Rapunzel and the group are able to successfully save the kingdom. However, due to King Frederic and Queen Arianna's amnesia, Rapunzel temporarily assumes the role of acting Queen of Corona and takes on new duties and responsibilities with Eugene by her side. Eugene later visits Rapunzel to celebrate their victory and listens when she is finally ready to talk about her feelings regarding Cassandra's betrayal. Eugene later receives a surprise when he finds his father, King Edmund has arrived in Corona to pass down a family heirloom and hopes to reconcile and build a relationship together.
Eugene, however, is revealed to be upset with Edmund for sending him away as a child and not staying in contact during his life, causing him to resent Edmund and refusing to forgive or acknowledge him as his father.
However, when Eugene later finds his room ransacked and the sash stolen, the situation forces him and Edmund to journey together to retrieve it. Although Eugene grows increasingly annoyed and frustrated by Edmund's attempts to bond with him, they eventually begin to find common ground through their shared love for the Flynnigan Rider books and are brought closer together when they encounter and battle against the Stabbington Brothers. However, when Eugene finds the sash in Edmund's possession, Edmund admits he stole it himself in his desperate attempts to spend time together and be a part of Eugene's life.
Furious over his father's deception, Eugene decides to return to Corona, but goes back after learning the Stabbingtons have captured him, but falls into a trap and becomes stuck in a cave. During his entrapment, Eugene discovers Edmund's satchel contains his childhood toys, causing him to realize Edmund has been watching over him and is soon rescued by Rapunzel.
