Tangled Books
As I was reading some of the many Tangled books I now own, I noticed that each book describes scenes in a different way. --SPOILER-- Specifically, the scene where Eugene and Rapunzel are in the boat and almost kiss and the scene where Eugene dies. So I've decided to take it upon myself and either directly quote or summarize each book's rendition.
In this, I'm including every book that includes the story with some sort of text accompaniment.
Tangled Invisible Ink Picture Book
Love: "What does Rapunzel see for the first time? The floating lights."
Death: "Flynn is captured by... Mother Gothel" "What does Flynn have to do to save Rapunzel from Mother Gothel's spell? Cut her magical hair." "Cutting off Rapunzel's magical hair reversed the magic... that had kept Mother Gothel young for centuries." "Rapunzel is reunited with her family."
Light Up the Night
Love: "Flynn and Rapunzel launch a floating lantern together." "Rapunzel returns Flynn's satchel." "Flynn wants to stay with Rapunzel forever, so he gives the crown to the Stabbington brothers."
Death: "Mother Gothel won't let Rapunzel leave with Flynn." "Mother Gothel hurts Flynn! Rapunzel wants to heal him with her magical hair." "Flynn cuts Rapunzel's hair - and the healing power is gone!" "When Rapunzel's hair is cut, Mother Gothel ages very quickly." "Rapunzel's tear heals Flynn."
Tales from the Tower
Rapunzel: "As night fell, Flynn took her out in a boat to see the sparkling lights. Thanks to Flynn, Rapunzel had her best birthday ever!"
Flynn: "Soon Flynn and Rapunzel were dancing and laughing - and falling in love!"
Leapfrog
Love: "That night, they watched the lanterns lit for the missing princess soar into the sky. 'I don't know what it is, but I feel like I belong here,' Rapunzel said."
Death: "She confronted Mother Gothel, who confessed to kidnapping Rapunzel when she was a baby. Rapunzel left Mother Gothel and the tower for good, and returned to her true family - the King and Queen. She was reunited with Flynn, too."
Panini Sticker Book
Love: "Flynn and Rapunzel grew to like each other more and more throughout the day as they enjoyed the celebration.... Rapunzel's dream had come true. The floating lanterns were even better than she had imagined in her daydreams. She also felt a special magic with Flynn. The two were falling in love. In the boat, Rapunzel gave Flynn the crown. She knew Mother Gothel was wrong about her newfound love. She trusted Flynn completely."
Death: "Flynn then felt a flash of horrific pain and stumbled to the floor. Mother Gothel had stabbed him from behind and immediately chained his arms and legs.... But Flynn knew he would rather die than know that Rapunzel would remain imprisioned with Mother Gothel forever. The spirited and beautiful young woman he loved did not deserve that. Swiftly, he pulled Rapunzel close and cut her hair. It turned brown and instantly lost its magic.... When she wept over Flynn's lifeless body, the wound of stabbing having taken its course, her golden tear dropped on his cheek. Its magic revived him. Flynn was alive!"
The rest of the books are in a pile underneath two of my dolls and my Build-a-Bear, so I'll do those later. Also, I don't feel like reading the two chapter books right now. :D
