You would look pretty foolish.

I would, wouldn't I?

May I take a look at it?

- No!

- No, I need it badly.

It's mine! Give it back!

Give it back!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just wanted to make sure

that you really loved that cape.

Now off you go to Granny's,

and be careful that

no wolf comes your way.

I'd rather a wolf than you any day!

This is hopeless!

I'm never gonna find that red cape,

or a yellow slipper and a golden cow.

Oh, wait, is it a golden slipper

and a yellow cow?

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as...

- What are you doing here?

- You forgot your scarf.

You shouldn't be here.

It's not safe in these woods.

- I want to help.

- No!

- The spell is on my house

- Our house

Only I can lift the spell

- We must lift the spell together

- The spell is on my house

The spell is on...

A cow as white as...

Milk.

Go.

- Hello there, young lad.

- Hello, sir.

What might you be doing

with a cow in the middle of the forest?

I was heading towards market,

but I seem to have lost my way.

"What are you planning

on doing there?"

What are you planning on doing there?

Sell my cow, sir.

No less than five pounds.

Five pounds?

Where are we supposed

to get five pounds?

She must be very generous

of milk to fetch five pounds.

Yes, ma'am.

And if you can't fetch that sum,

then what are you to do?

I hadn't thought of that.

This is all we have.

Beans?

Oh, no, we mustn't give up our beans!

Well, if you feel that we must.

Beans in exchange for my cow?

Oh, no, son.

These are no ordinary beans.

These beans, they carry magic.

Magic? What kind of magic?

Tell him.

It's...

-it's a magic that defies description.

- Yes.

- How many beans?

- Six.

- Five.

- Five.

They're worth a pound each, at least.

Could I buy my cow back someday?

- Well... Possibly.

- Yes.

So, yeah,

it seems like we've made a fair trade.

Okay.

Here you go. There's one, two,

three, four, five.

All right, well, good luck,

and pleasure doing business with you.

One day, I'll buy you back.

Promise.

Take the cow and go home.

I was just trying to help.

Magic beans?

We've no reason

to believe they're magic.

Are we to dispel this

curse through deceit?

No one would have given him

more for this creature.

We did him a favor.

At least they'll have some food now.

Five beans?

- Do you want a child or not?

- Of course I do.

We have one chance.

Don't you see that? And if we fail...

I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a father.

Why would you say that?

Because of my father.

You're not him!

I don't know.

If you can't do this for yourself,

can't you at least do it for me?

Okay. Fine. But will you

take the cow and go home?

I will find the rest of the things

on my own.

Sta)'-

Rapunzel!

Rapunzel!

Let down your hair to me!

Rapunzel?

The old enchantress

had given the name Rapunzel

to the child she had hidden away and

locked in a doorless tower.

But little did She know

that the girl's lilting voice

had caught the attention

of a handsome prince.

Rapunzel.

Don't you look lovely today, my dear.

Thank you, Mother.

I brought your favorite.

Blackberries.

Fresh from the garden.

As the little girl

approached her granny's oak tree,

she was surprised to see

the door standing open.

Oh, dear.

How uneasy I feel.

Perhaps it's all the sweets.

Granny?

Come in, my dearie.

My, Grandmother.

You're looking very strange.

What big ears you have.

The better to hear you with,

my dear.

And with a single bound

the big, bad Wolf

had devoured the little girl.

Well, it was a full day of eating for both.

Help! Get us out!

I can't believe I just did that.

Wait!

Aren't you gonna help us

skin that beast?

No, no. No thanks.

What kind of hunter are you?

I'm a baker.

Wait a minute, I never thanked you!

You need to be more

careful, young lady.

I'm sorry.

I should have known better.

Mother said, "Straight ahead"

Not to delay or be misled

I should have heeded her advice

But he seemed so nice

And he showed me things

Many beautiful things

That I hadn't thought to explore

They were off my path

So I never had dared

I had been so careful

I never had cared

And he made me feel excited

Well, excited and scared

When he said, "Come in"

With that sickening grin

How could I know what was in store?

Once his teeth were bared,

though I really got scared

Well, excited and scared

But he drew me close

And he swallowed me down

Down a dark, slimy path

Where lie secrets

That I never want to know

And when everything familiar

Seemed to disappear forever

At the end of the path

Was Granny once again

So we lay in the dark

Till you came and set us free

And you brought us to the light

And we're back at the start

And I know things now

Many valuable things

That I hadn't known before

Do not put your faith

In a cape and a hood

They will not protect you

The way that they should

And take extra care with strangers

Even flowers have their dangers

And though scary is exciting

Nice is different than good

Mr. Baker, you saved our lives.

Here.

- Are you certain?

- Yes.

Maybe Granny will make me another

one out of the skins of that wolf.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Now I know:
don't be scared

Granny is right, just be prepared

Isn't it nice to know a lot

And a little bit

Not

How could you do this?

What sort of boy exchanges

a cow for beans?

But they're magic. The man said.

Get your head out of the clouds, Jack!

Mother, no!

Go on, get in there!

You and your worthless

adventures, Jack! Will you never learn?

To bed without supper for you!

Beans!

The first night of the Festival Ball

brought Cinderella her wish.

The Prince danced only with her,

till he turned,

and she had slipped away.

That Way!

Quickly!

I must find that girl.

- Are you all right, miss?

- Yes.

I just need to catch my breath.

Oh, what a beautiful gown!

Were you at the King's Festival?

Yes.

Aren't you the lucky one.

Why ever are you in

the woods at this hour?

This way!

Please don't let them

know that I'm here.

Oh, my God.

Have you seen a beautiful young

woman in a ball gown pass through?

I don't think so, sir.

If I may, My Lord,

I think I see her over there!

Onward!

I've never lied to royalty before.

I've never anything to royalty before!

Thank you.

If a prince were looking for me,

I certainly wouldn't hide.

What brings you here,

and with a cow?

Well, my husband's

somewhere in the woods.

He's undoing a spell.

Yes.

But tell me, the Prince,

what was he like?

He's a very nice prince

And?

And...

It's a very nice ball

And?

And...

When I entered, they trumpeted

And? The Prince?

- Oh, the Prince

- Yes, the Prince

Well, he's tall

Is that all?

Did you dance? Is he charming?

They say that he's charming

We did nothing but dance

Yes?

- And?

- And it made a nice change

No, the Prince

- Oh, the Prince

- Yes, the Prince

He has charm for a prince, I guess

You guess?

I don't meet a wide range
