While there, she takes the paintbrush to a silversmith, who notices it is actually from his brother in Wilhelm's kingdom, showing Stefan how bad the feud is affecting the people in both kingdoms, especially families divided by living separated in one kingdom or the other.

She discovers its magical abilities the next day and uses it to create a portal out of her tower and to Frederick's kingdom to see Stefan again. However, as Rapunzel goes to sleep that night, the hairbrush is magically transformed into a paintbrush. When Rapunzel honestly says she does not know Stefan's name as she never asked for it, thinking she's lying, Gothel punishes her by transforming her room into a tall tower, stations Hugo outside to guard it, and destroys all of Rapunzel's paintings and paint supplies. When Gothel discovers her disappearance, she demands to know who it was that Rapunzel met. Helping to rescue one of Prince Stefan's younger sisters from a pitfall trap planted by the rival King Wilhelm of the neighboring kingdom that is feuding with Frederick's, Rapunzel meets Stefan, but is unable to ascertain his name before she has to retreat back to Gothel's to avoid raising her suspicion and endangering Penelope's father Hugo. Confused by this interesting piece of evidence, Rapunzel later explores and finds a tunnel that leads from Gothel's mansion to the nearby kingdom of King Frederick. She had been told by Gothel that her parents did not love her and abandoned her on Gothel's doorstep when she was a baby. One day, while getting Gothel her meal, Rapunzel discovers the cellar where Gothel stored all her mementos of the past, discovering a silver hairbrush with an engravement on it addressed to her from her mom and dad for her first birthday. In that time, Rapunzel befriended Hugo's daughter Penelope and the rabbit Hobie, and spent most of her free time painting various pieces in her room. 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 with the handsome Prince Stefan.Īs the film begins, as told by Barbie to her little sister Kelly, Rapunzel was living with Gothel in her mansion deep in the forest guarded by Gothel's magic wall and the dragon Hugo.
