Posted: 1/29/15 at 1:32pmDidn't you learn anything from Bewitched? Witches have to work within the confines of general witchery. If every witch could undo another witch's spell, they would spend all their time cursing and recursing each other.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 1:34pmIn the stage show, she doesn't show any teleportation capabilities (she always walks on and off the stage, excepting of course her exit in Last Midnight). However, in the film, this seems to be a very valid question. She can obviously teleport, although it seems to be in a very dramatic and destructive fashion, so maybe that's why?

"However, in the film, this seems to be a very valid question. She can obviously teleport, although it seems to be in a very dramatic and destructive fashion, so maybe that's why?"
I think there is some confusion here. Meryl Streep has the power of teleportation, the witch does not. So, Streep probably flew in the take by accident, they liked it, and just let her do it in other scenes, despite it being off book.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 2:37pmWhy didn't Rapunzel tie her hair to something in the tower and let herself down the side of the tower and then cut her hair off once she was down?

Posted: 1/29/15 at 2:45pmIt's a musical fairy tale so they can sing and dance, climb hair ,whatever whenever they feel like it-that's why it is so realistic !

Posted: 1/29/15 at 2:49pmThe real question is why does Rapunzel's hair not get ripped out of her head when a woman weighing at least 120 pounds climbs up it every day?

Posted: 1/29/15 at 3:49pmA Baker can munch on his wares as they come out of the oven. Makes perfect sense.

She climbed up her hair to make sure it was real, not that cheap weave that they be selling in the village weave store.

Posted: 1/29/15 at 5:10pmThe movie made the OP's question REALLY obvious. The first time she made herself just appear/disappear, my exact thought was "Why does she have to climb that hair?"

Posted: 1/29/15 at 5:18pmYeah it did really stand out to me as a 'duh' moment , not something I'd thought of in the show but it really stuck out in the movie

Posted: 1/29/15 at 6:18pmIf the only way to get into Rapunzel's tower is to climb her hair, how did Rapunzel's get into the tower in the first place?
