Rapunzel is a tale of a young girl whose parent was forced to abandoned her when the stoled from the witch’s garden. While staying with the witch she was forced into hiding in a tall tower away from any living human being besides the witch. When watching Gigglebox a cartoon that replicates this tale I noticed some similarities and differences. One similarity is the father stoled from the witch’s garden in both versions this never changes. Another similarity that can be seen in both tales is the mother being pregnant and asking for food. However, in this tale, it was because she was poor and there was nothing to eat therefore the husband had to steal from the witch’s garden which she didn’t like in this tale and the other tale. In comparison with the Grimms version where the husband stole lattice because the mother was craving it and couldn’t live another day without having some. Moreover, in this version instead of the husband being caught on the second time of him stealing from the witch garden he was caught the first time in the cartoon. Another difference between this version and Grimms version is in the cartoon Rapunzel hated the witch but in the Grimms version, it is explained that Rapunzel loved the witch like a mother she never had. Moreover in the cartoon, Rapunzel was locked up in the tower when she was 13 rather than her being locked in the tower ever since she was born. Even Though, these versions have some similarities they are mostly different from each other.
