(I'm only showing the ones that appear in the movie!)

oooWhen Will My Life Begin?ooo


Seven a.m., the usual morning lineup

Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean

Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up

Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15

And so I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit

And cook and basically

Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking

Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess

Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making

Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb

Sew a dress!

And I'll reread the books

If I have time to spare

I'll paint the walls some more

I'm sure there's room somewhere

And then I'll brush and brush

And brush and brush my hair

Stuck in the same place I've always been

And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'

And wanderin' and wonderin'

When will my life begin?

And tomorrow night

The lights will appear

Just like they do on my birthday each year

What is it like

Out there where they glow?

Now that I'm older

Mother might just

Let me go


oooMother Knows Bestooo


Mother Gothel:

You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!

Look at you, as fragile as a flower

Still a little sapling, just a sprout

You know why we stay up in this tower


Rapunzel:

I know but...


Mother Gothel:

That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear

Guess I always knew this day was coming

Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest

Soon, but not yet


Rapunzel:

But --


Mother Gothel:

Shh!

Trust me, pet

Mother knows best

Mother knows best

Listen to your mother

It's a scary world out there

Mother knows best

One way or another

Something will go wrong, I swear

Ruffians, thugs

Poison ivy, quicksand

Cannibals and snakes

The plague


Rapunzel:

No!


Mother Gothel:

Yes!


Rapunzel:

But --


Mother Gothel:

Also large bugs

Men with pointy teeth, and

Stop, no more, you'll just upset me

Mother's right here

Mother will protect you

Darling, here's what I suggest

Skip the drama

Stay with mama

Mama knows best

Mother knows best

Take it from your mumsy

On your own, you won't survive

Sloppy, underdressed

Immature, clumsy

Please, they'll eat you up alive

Gullible, naÎve

Positively grubby

Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague

Plus, I believe

Gettin' kinda chubby

I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you

Mother understands

Mother's here to help you

All I have is one request

Rapunzel?


Rapunzel:

Yes?


Mother Gothel:

Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.


Rapunzel:

Yes, Mother.


Mother Gothel:

I love you very much, dear.


Rapunzel:

I love you more.


Mother Gothel:

I love you most.

Don't forget it

You'll regret it

Mother knows best


oooWhen Will My Life Begin (Reprise 2)ooo


Look at the world - so close, and I'm halfway to it!

Look at it all - so big - do I even dare?

Look at me - there at last! - I just have to do it


Should I?

No.

Here I go...


Just smell the grass! The dirt! Just like I dreamed they'd be!

Just feel that summer breeze - the way it's calling me

For like the first time ever, I'm completely free!

I could go running

And racing

And dancing

And chasing

And leaping

And bounding

Hair flying

Heart pounding

And splashing

And reeling

And finally feeling

That's when my life begins!


oooI've Got a Dreamooo


Hook guy:

I'm malicious, mean and scary

My sneer could curdle dairy

And violence wise, my hands are not the cleanest

But despite my evil look

And my temper, and my hook

I've always yearned to be a concert pianist

Can't ya see me on the stage performin' Mozart

Ticklin' the ivories 'til they gleam?

Yep, I'd rather be called deadly

For my killer show tune medley

Thank you

'Cause way down deep inside

I've got a dream


Thugs:

He's got a dream

He's got a dream


Hook guy:

See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem

Though I do like breaking femurs

You can count me with the dreamers

Like everybody else

I've got a dream


Nose guy:

I've got scars and lumps and bruises

Plus something here that oozes

And let's not even mention my complexion

But despite my extra toes

And my goiter, and my nose

I really wanna make a love connection

Can't you see me with a special little lady

Rowing in a rowboat down the stream?

Though I'm one disgusting blighter

I'm a lover, not a fighter

'Cause way down deep inside

I've got a dream

I've got a dream (he's got a dream)

I've got a dream (he's got a dream)

And I know one day, romance will reign supreme

Though my face leaves people screaming

There's a child behind it, dreaming

Like everybody else

I've got a dream


Thugs:

Tor would like to quit and be a florist

Gunther does interior design

Ulf is into mime

Attila's cupcakes are sublime

Bruiser knits, Killer sews

Fang does little puppet shows


Hook guy:

And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns


Eugene:

I have dreams like you, no, really

Just much less touchy feely

They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny

On an island that I own

Tanned and rested and alone

Surrounded by enormous piles of money


Rapunzel:

I've got a dream (she's got a dream)

I've got a dream (she's got a dream)

I just wanna see the floating lanterns gleam (YEAH!)

And with every passing hour

I'm so glad I left my tower

Like all you lovely folks

I've got a dream


Thugs:

She's got a dream (he's got a dream)

They've got a dream, we've got a dream

So our differences ain't really that extreme

We're one big team

Call us brutal, sick, sadistic

And grotesquely optimistic

'Cause way down deep inside

We've got a dream

I've got a dream

I've got a dream

I've got a dream

I've got a dream

I've got a dream


Rapunzel:

I've got a dream


All:

Yes, way down deep inside

I've got a dream

Yeah!


oooMother Knows Best (Reprise)ooo


Rapunzel:

I think he likes me.


Mother Gothel:

Likes you? Please, Rapunzel, that's demented

This is why you never should have left

Dear, this whole romance that you've invented

Just proves you're too naive to be here

Why would he like you? Come on now, really!

Look at you, you think that he's impressed?

Don't be a dummy

Come with mummy

Mother


Rapunzel:

No!


Mother Gothel:

No? Oh, I see how it is.

Rapunzel knows best

Rapunzel's so mature now

Such a clever grown-up Miss

Rapunzel knows best

Fine, if you're so sure now

Go ahead, then give him this

This is why he's here!

Don't let him deceive you!

Give it to him, watch, you'll see!

Trust me, my dear

That's how fast he'll leave you

I won't say I told you so

No, Rapunzel knows best!

So if he's such a dreamboat

Go and put him to the test

If he's lying

Don't come crying

Mother knows best


oooI See the Lightooo


Rapunzel:

All those days watching from the windows

All those years outside looking in

All that time never even knowing

Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here blinking in the starlight

Now I'm here suddenly I see

Standing here it's all so clear

I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything looks different

Now that I see you


Eugene:

All those days chasing down a daydream

All those years living in a blur

All that time never truly seeing

Things, the way they were

Now she's here shining in the starlight

Now she's here suddenly I know

If she's here it's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go


Both:

And at last I see the light


Eugene:

And it's like the fog has lifted


Both:

And at last I see the light


Rapunzel:

And it's like the sky is new


Both:

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once everything is different

Now that I see you

Now that I see you


oooHealing Incantationooo


Flower, gleam, and glow

Let your powers shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine


Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates’ design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

They have a bond, and he isn't a prince

Image
Flynn Rider is a thief, a fraud, and was even allegedly on the death row for his crimes— but even then, we all know his motives which were basically just wanting to survive and live his dream as a rich man on an island that he owns. And no, do not start talking to me about how he could have gone to school or gotten a job instead because him being a thief adds to character. (Also in case you forgot, we are  ignoring anything Tangled: The Series  has said.) Anyway, Rapunzel and Eugene (his real name) started off in a rather rocky relationship where she basically just wanted to use him, and he was also using her— it was that simple! But then they actually start to get to know one another and find out that woah! , this persons actually really cool and we get along really well— aka they form an actual relationship. He didn't just think she was pretty, she didn't just think he was some charming prince therefore husband material— they both got to know each other and you could actuall...

Great characters make the movie

Image
Alright, alright— we have all seen at least one piece of work that has a wonderful idea, wonderful plot, smooth lines; basically perfect, yet the one thing that ruins everything are the characters. But in Tangled, I think it's safe to say that the characters are likeable enough that you are able to understand, relate, and maybe even form those dangerous emotional connections with them even though they're fictional. And I know it's pretty much the bare minimum, but can you blame me when I say that the moment I saw our cliche, kidnapped princess, main character go through a journey and actually have character development all while experiencing grief in a way that actually made me feel something for her— it all made the movie so much better. But if we want to talk about Flynn Rider, then we have the regular himbo where he looks great, is kind of dumb, but also has big dreams; kind of like Nick Wilde from Zootopia, aka the show that makes me question everything about myself in ...

Lantern boat date with hot man when

Image
Another post about how much I love their relationship, chemistry, bond— whatever its called. But this specific  scene where they sang ' I See the Light ' and they were not  talking about the fact that they were about to be taken by the Heavens— but were talking about each othe r?! Honestly, every time I hear this song I pee a little and it keeps me up at night. Even if you say that it was cheesy, cliche, cringy— I do not care because LOOK . To give context; we all know that Rapunzel was only using Eugene to see the floating lights (aka the Lantern Festival), and Eugene was only using Rapunzel in order to take back the crown he stole— they were both using each other, basically. But in this scene where they literally see the floating lights in a boat and it's super pretty and I start shaking uncontrollably every time I see it— anyway , in the first picture, you see Rapunzel holding a leather satchel which actually stores the crown Eugene had stolen from earlier. She literally...
