I love Disney's Tangled but there's just one thing I disliked about it: In the original fairytale 'Rapunzel,' it featured a witch, and Gothel, the main villainess of the movie, isn't even a witch at all! Or maybe she was but just wasn't shown to have any powers. I really liked Gothel, but it would have been so cool if she was a witch. Her character has so much potential, and tapping into her powers could add more depth to her story and the overall narrative. What's pretty interesting is that one of Disney's "Twisted Tale" novels called "Mother Knows Best," which is based on Disney's Tangled, briefly mentioned in the description that she was a witch. (I haven't read the book yet, so I don't know the story.)

Disney has a history of creating fantastic live-action adaptations of their animated classics. With successful films like Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, the possibility of a Tangled remake excites fans worldwide. It's the perfect opportunity for Disney to delve deeper into the origins and motivations of Mother Gothel by making her the witch she's supposed to be. This change would not only align the story closer to its fairy tale roots but also open up new creative avenues for storytelling and character development.

Moreover, making Gothel a witch could enrich the visual and thematic elements of the Tangled universe. Imagine the magic effects, the atmosphere, and the new challenges Rapunzel would face. It could set the stage for more complex interactions between the characters and add an intriguing layer to Gothel's sinister plans.

This is Disney's chance to reinvent a beloved story while staying true to its origins. It's an opportunity to create a live-action portrayal that generations of fans can appreciate. Let's urge Disney to consider making Mother Gothel a witch in the Tangled live-action adaptation. Sign this petition to show your support and help bring a new, magical dimension to an iconic tale!
