As it turns out, this is because Gothel didn't adopt Rapunzel like she led her to believe, and actually kidnapped her from her parents as retribution against Rapunzel's father. Adopt-a-Servant: Gothel took Rapunzel in as a baby and treats her like a servant instead of a daughter, with Rapunzel being required to cook and clean for her and address her as "My lady".She certainly never intended to start a war either. Also, in the original story, Gothel got Rapunzel out of a (admittedly rather questionable) deal with her father, rather than kidnapping her out of petty revenge. Adaptational Villainy: Gothel wasn't an ideal mother in the original story, but she wasn't an emotionally abusive slave-driver to Rapunzel like she is here.She's also able to keep three men armed with swords on the defensive in the climax, handily demonstrating that she can take them out with magic faster than they can attack. Gothel here is able to use her magic to create the tower in the first place and imprison someone inside it forever. Adaptational Badass: The witch in the original tale never displayed much magic.
She's not even so lenient as to let Rapunzel address her as anything but "milady."
Rapunzel's discovery of a magic paintbrush leads her on a journey that will unravel a web of deception, bring peace to two feuding kingdoms, and ultimately lead her to love the handsome Prince Stefan. She lived as a servant of Gothel, a jealous, scheming witch who kept her hidden deep in a forbidding forest, guarded by the enormous dragon Hugo and surrounded by an enchanted magic wall. But Rapunzel's life was far from wonderful. Long, long ago, in a time of magic and dragons, there lived a girl named Rapunzel, who had the most beautiful, radiant hair the world had ever seen. It is the second in the series of computer animated Barbie films, following the success of Barbie in the Nutcracker, adapted from The Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name. Barbie as Rapunzel is a 2002 Direct to Video Barbie film directed by Owen Hurley.
