I can assure you that no psychology classes were involved in my more cerebral-than-usual reception towards a classic Disney feature.

The Fairy Godmother is more of a deus ex machina. The first we ever hear of her is the exact moment that Cinderella loses her cool. To the film's credit, they were doing what was based from the original story, and it does help that by leaving her with both slippers, her presence was still there long after she left.

Also, when I said the Prince (Prince Nameless ) was programmed to love Cinderella, I was referring to the "love at first sight" aspect. Other than his being at the ball in accordance to father's wishes, this probably ties into the complication behind the fact that Cinderella's glass slipper seemed to fit only ONE person in the entire kingdom, which the Duke pointed out earlier. I just feel that since they weren't following any particular tradition where so-and-so had to marry by a certain age, the ball should've been more about what the Prince wanted.

This is where I feel that the more recent princess features have improved upon their predecessors, where both the prince AND the princess need an ounce of personality and background in order for their inevitable romance to feel more genuine. Aladdin is a good example; maybe they played up the "love at first sight" bit when Al first saw Jasmine at the marketplace. But that could've been a passing crush if he didn't have to save her life in the next few minutes. In any case, both sides would have to do their own homework, instead of allowing everything to be spoonfed to them, in order to earn their romance.

Well, it does fit in the story ofcourse, but i'd like her to have midlenght hair as well. I just think short hair isn't princessy enough-not that i don't like short hair, but i just don't like it on disney princesses. I didn't like the movie Sinbad because the female lead had short hair... it just did not seem right.

They should have made it so that her hair just turns brown and grows at a regular rate. No more magic hair. I would have preferred that. She still could have show Flynn a thin lock of waist length hair that is brown but normally hidden under the rest of her locks. They made it so Rapunzel can never be a normal girl with normal hair.

Or he could have cut it just a bit lower down if it must not grow back. Should would have still looked like a princess if her hair was just somewhat longer.

Because, I agree with you. Short hair is not princessy enough. I'm sure some people out there complain that there are not enough short haired princesses, but the majority see princesses as having longer hair. At least as long as Cinderella's. Not super short and "sporty" like Rapunzel's cut is.

And so does Waiting for the Lights!
But it sucks that they didn't include a singing part in that Tear song.

and again a little spoiler here and there is fine, but when your whole convo with someone is spoilers it's probably better to just have a private convo.

I knew this music was gonna be good from the moment i heard Healing Incantation

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 and give him this
This is why he's here
Don't let him deceive you

That's what i could make out.. it sounds like a great scene, Rapunzel finally stepping up to her 'mother' now!
