The element of hair in the original story possibly being a symbol of chasitity can still be seen in Tangled. This back story overall works nicely and makes the fairy tale more acceptable for its designated audience. The pregnant mother needing a plant is included however instead of craving lettuce, she is desperately sick and needs a magic golden flower. Instead of pregnancy cravings, selfish parents and a girl on the verge of puberty being trapped in a tower we have a magic golden flower, a vain villain who wants to be forever young and a kidnapped princess with golden hair that can help the villain remain youthful. Tangled is a Disney film made for a family audience and for children, so it is not particularly surprising that a back story was designed for the tale to remove the idea of female sexuality as a plot driver.
