When I first heard that Walt Disney’s Tangled, a modernized version of the story of Rapunzel, was being compared to the current pandemic I just rolled my eyes. After analyzing it a bit more, however, I do see some similarities. Although, let me be clear that I do not think it is some conspiracy theory or that this was a prediction/foreshadowing of any kind (but I know there are many compelling cases otherwise). I just think it is interesting, and humorous. The story involves a girl who was lived her life locked in a tower away from the outside world. People are comparing this to quarantine.
However, what is also interesting is that she lived on the island of Corona! That’s right – Corona! So it is a little strange that the movie is based on a girl living in lock-down in an island called Corona and now the world is on lock-down because of the coronavirus. One has to admit that it is a little freaky! Especially because one of the songs is about her trying to pass the time because she is bored all day…something many people can relate too at this point and time. Anyway, it’s definitely interesting. I am not sure what Disney’s statement is on this (if they have one) but I know that social media has been buzzing and there are more memes about this every day!
