Insane Plot Hole in Disney's Tangled You've Never Noticed
Like many fairy tales, Tangled has its fair share of unbelievable stuff going on (Rapunzel's hair being one of them), but let's talk major mess-ups.
Tangled, which came out in 2010, is loosely based on the Brothers Grimm's Rapunzel, which explains why there are so many inconsistencies that are only allowed in cartoons.
One Instagram creator, Maddy Donatelli, has actually noticed the biggest plot hole in the animated movie, and it has to do with Rapunzel's insane housework skills.
In the movie, Rapunzel wakes up at 7 a.m. and wastes no time lying in bed or trying to bargain with herself for five more minutes.
She just gets up (which is not something anyone does right away) and starts doing her chores, which include sweeping (twice), polishing, waxing, doing laundry, mopping, and shining up.
You'd think that all those tasks are at least a couple of hours' worth of work, right? Well, Rapunzel makes us all feel bad about ourselves because she does it all in 15 minutes.
Teach us this sorcery, please?
Finishing all the chores in 15 minutes is impossible as it is (getting out a mop and washing it from last time takes us 15 minutes alone), but when does she ever get ready?
OK, waking up all pretty and without circles under her eyes must be another one of those Disney princess' perks. Or maybe she is just a vampire.
That would explain how she gets things done so fast and looks so good whenever!
Honestly, Barbie sets up unrealistic beauty standards for little girls (and that's old news), but Disney does something much, much worse – it makes us believe that work/life/chore balance is so easily achievable (and, let's face it, it's really far from that in reality).
We'll give Tangled the benefit of the doubt since it was released over a decade ago, but Disney needs to do better in the future.
Sorry if we ruined your favorite movie for you, but we had to spread the word – more people need to know that they are doing a good enough job in their households.
Not all of us can be Disney princesses with magic hair and vampire speed.
