10 More Subtle Signs Movie Characters Weren't Telling The Truth
2. Mother Gothel Looks At Rapunzel's Hair - Tangled
The third and final animated entry on our list now, with Disney's Tangled.
While the film is entirely upfront about Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy) being a villain from the very beginning, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) herself doesn't realise that, though there is one brilliantly snide indication throughout the whole movie.
Note that basically any time Gothel is affectionate towards Rapunzel, she looks not at her eyes or face but her hair.
Most notably, after Gothel performs the song "Mother Knows Best," she tells Rapunzel, "I love you most," but as she says it, she moves Rapunzel's head downwards and kisses her head - or more accurately, her magical locks which keep Gothel youthful.
Rapunzel of course thinks her mother is talking to and kissing her, but not quite - she's referring to the gorgeous locks flowing from her head, the removal of which end up being Gothel's satisfying downfall at film's end.
