Gothel's spy, a vicious mink named Otto (Peter Kelamis), rats out Rapunzel and Gothel locks the girl away in a high tower.

She never learns that she's been chatting with King Frederick's son, Prince Stefan, and Prince Stefan fails to learn her name. Rapunzel opines that it would surely be better if the two monarchs could get together and come up with a peaceful solution, then realizes she should hurry home before Gothel notices her absence. Katrina's brother (Mark Hildreth), is impressed by Rapunzel's bravery and beauty, and tells her that the village belongs to the kingdom of King Frederick (Russell Roberts), which is on the verge of war with the nearby kingdom of King Wilhelm (Christopher Gaze). One day Rapunzel discovers a secret passage that leads outside, and takes a walk in the village, where she rescues a little girl, Katrina (Strand), who's fallen into a hole. Rapunzel has no idea what became of her parents, and her only friends are a rabbit named Hobie (Ian James Corlett) and a little purple dragon named Penelope (Cree Summer), whose father is in Gothel's employ. Beautiful, talented and kind, Rapunzel (Sheridan) lives in an isolated castle with the exacting Gothel (Anjelica Houston), who treats the girl as a servant and never allows her to visit the neighboring village. In the framing story, little Kelly (voice of Chantal Strand) grows frustrated when her painting doesn't come out the way she wants, and Barbie (Kelly Sheridan) tells her the story of Rapunzel.

The traditional fairy tale gets some girl-power twists in this computer animated retelling featuring Barbie.
