description, trailers, content, interesting facts and much more about the cartoon
Princess Rapunzel runs through the palace of her father King Frederick, runs into her room, sees the dark silhouette of a woman.
She turns around: not happy to see her mommy? Come on, let's go back to the tower!
Terrified, Rapunzel wakes up.
The queen addresses the king: why don't you eat anything today? Yes, I'm just moving an egg from place to place on a plate. The Queen reminds her husband that two weeks have already passed. It's time for you to talk to Rapunzel. And, in my opinion, you should not talk to your daughter the way you do it. nine0003
Cassandra enters Rapunzel's bedroom. She says let's not talk about that night when I helped you escape. Because if this becomes known, I will be sent to a monastery. But I have to tell Eugene about this! No, he's not good at keeping secrets. But Eugene is my boyfriend, I shouldn't keep anything secret from him.
Eugene Fitzherbert enters. Who's talking about me here? What secrets are you talking about here? Tell me about them. Cassandra: No way, you have a very long tongue, you immediately blurt out any secret that you become aware of. What? Give at least one example.
nine0003
Flashbacks. Eugene blurts out one secret after another.
Okay, this only happened once. Yes, I told everyone about the security guard who was afraid of mimes. But it wasn't the same guard.
Eugene leaves the palace, enters a bar, where he asks Hook Foot about his fiancee. Hook Foot reads long and tedious poems, the bar patrons fall asleep.
Cassandra says to Rapunzel: you need to find out the secret of your newly grown hair. This requires a wizard. I have a friend who knows magic. His name is Varian. Does he have a pointed hat, robe? Does he know spells? He doesn't have any of that. But they say it's very dangerous. There is nothing else to do but contact him. nine0003
Cassandra and Rapunzel get on Maximus' horse and go to the wizard's house. Eugene, leaving the bar, sees the girls. Where are they headed? Eugene keeps an eye on Cassandra and Rapunzel.
Cassandra and Rapunzel enter the wizard's dwelling. It seems to be cozy here. Rapunzel asks Cassandra: Are you sure it's safe here? An explosion is heard, a purple mist emerges from somewhere.
It is a trap! Rapunzel screams. The fog turns into a slime that the girls stick to. They cannot move on. A creature with burning eyes appears, which in a menacing voice asks the girls who they are and what they need here. nine0003
Rapunzel says we wanted to ask you about what happened to my hair. They say you're strong in magic. The creature removes the mask from its head. Beneath it is the face of a teenager. In fact, formally, this is not magic, but science. Or rather, alchemy. And what is this slime? This is a chemical of my own design. It's just that uninvited guests got into the habit of visiting me, and this is a humane way to immobilize them. Varian extracts a raccoon stuck in it from the slime and throws the beast out the door.
Varian frees the girls by spraying them with a spray gun. He examines Rapunzel's hair through a magnifying glass. Okay, I'll figure out their secret with science. nine0003
Eugene gets tired of waiting: what are they doing there for so long? He goes to Varian's house.
His horse follows him, when he approaches the place where the girls left Maximus, there is an explosion, both horses stick to the slime. A raccoon banished by Varian runs up to them, climbs onto one of the horses, climbs a tree and picks an apple.
Rapunzel tells Varian that her hair has lost its magic power.
Okay, first we'll find out what they're made of. This device can analyze the objects placed in it, I developed it myself. Rapunzel admires: cool! nine0003
Varian inserts Rapunzel's hair into the machine: it will be a little... Rapunzel says: exciting? Yes, that's the right word. The device turns on, Rapunzel's hair pulls in different directions, the girl's face changes. Varian: Done! Wonderful, it turned out so fast! Rapunzel admires. Yes, I forgot to tell you: this is the first of 86 tests.
Eugene breaks into Varian's home. He turns to Rapunzel: I'm taking you out of here. Varian turns to Eugene: Yes, you are Flynn Ryder! No no! Nothing has been proven! Yes, I'm your fan! Varian shows posters with a portrait of Eugene and the inscription: Wanted.
I was looking for posters with your portrait! I have read all your books. No, these books are not all about me. I just took this pseudonym. Cassandra tells Rapunzel: I don't trust him, but because you tell him everything, I don't trust you either. But you must trust me. nine0003
Varian asks Eugene: can you tell me how you managed to destroy the Count of Camembert? No, I didn't do that either. Eugene turns to Rapunzel: where did this child come from? My name is Varian. The building is shaken by tremors. Eugene asks why are we shaking? Varian says I almost forgot. We need a spectrometer to record test results. He turns to Eugene: will you keep me company? I'll show you something interesting. Oh, a stranger wants to tell me a secret! Eugene follows Varian. Tell me, what secrets did the girls tell you? nine0003
Varian is looking for a machine to record instrument readings. He tells Eugene: I'll show you something interesting. He shows him a map: here is a system of tunnels that stretch under the village.
I found a way that allows you to heat a large cauldron of water with a drop of a substance I invented - this is phlenoleum - I will bring hot water to all the houses of the village. And it's because of the work of your machines that the earth is shaking? No. These are the chemical reactions in the cauldrons that I have placed in various places under the village. But it's all completely harmless! nine0003
Rapunzel, who is tied to the stand, is shaking along with the building. There are only 12 tests left. Varian and Eugene return. Varian asks Rapunzel: Are you hurt? No. Although - yes!
Cassandra asks Eugene what secrets did he tell you? You're trying hard!
Eugene calls Varian aside: is it dangerous? No. I counted everything. The error is only 0.56%. Or, wait: 0.57%! Eugene says listen, you're a good guy. But I beg you: turn off your cars before seismologists come running here. Okay, I'll go down the power. nine0003
Eugene tells Rapunzel that we have to get out of here.
Then he turns to Cassandra: and you can stay here until everything blows up.
Varian tries to reduce the power of the boilers with a lever, he fails, he drops the bottle on the floor, it breaks. Oh my flinoleum!
Eugene tells Rapunzel and Cassandra that this idiot has five huge cauldrons underground that could explode at any moment.
The building begins to collapse. Rapunzel screams: get me out of here! Cassandra shouts to Eugene: save her, and I will run to Varian. nine0003
Cassandra runs to Varian, who says he needs to turn off three more boilers. The walls of the building are falling, stones are flying from the ceiling.
Rapunzel shouts to Eugene: leave me, go away! No, I love you. And I love you even more than you think. They wrap their arms around each other as the walls collapse on them.
The ruins rise, bursting with a dome of Rapunzel's hair. Hair saved her and Eugene.
Varian's father comes running. He shouts to his son: have you taken up yours again? How many people were hurt this time? nine0003
Eugene says to Rapunzel, it's a pity you never got the test results.
Nothing. But I know: now I will have no secrets from you.
Rapunzel and Eugene ride to the palace on horseback, talking along the way. Rapunzel argues: at night I was at the Black Stones. Maybe my hair has grown back because of this. Eugene says: after today's events, I will believe everything.
Eugene tells Rapunzel's story behind the scenes: a magic flower saved her mother and gave magic power to her hair. Then Gothel kidnapped her and kept her in the tower for 18 years. Rapunzel was saved by a cute tramp, I would call him an underestimated nice fellow. Of course, he was beaten by fate, he grew up in poverty. Rapunzel's voice: Eugene, focus! Oh sure. So, the beautiful tramp and Rapunzel made a deal. He saved her from Gothel, she saved his life. And then she made the most radical image change in history. Rapunzel continues: I have reunited with my family, six months have passed - and I am preparing for the coronation. Eugene: and we'll get married. Rapunzel: And this will be the biggest adventure of my life.
nine0003
Rapunzel and Eugene are riding horses. They are pursued by guards, Rapunzel and Eugene are separated, one of the guards flies out of the saddle. Rapunzel and Eugene meet on the wall surrounding the kingdom. The guards say it's time to return to the city, the game is over, you need to prepare for the coronation procedure. Rapunzel and Eugene are standing on the wall. The princess says to her friend: have you seen anything more beautiful?
Posters are hung around the city, which talk about the coronation and the festivities that follow this ceremony. nine0003
Cassandra asks Rapunzel: how do you feel? Well, at least pretend that you care.
King Frederick is holding a meeting with the head of the guard: guests from all over the world will come to us. I want them to be completely safe, so that my baby's coronation will go without the slightest hitch.
The king addresses Rapunzel: remember that now you represent not only yourself, but the whole kingdom.
I won't let you down, father. But will it be possible for me after the coronation to take time for myself, to be alone? The king replies: take an example from your friend. He seems to have settled into his new position quite well. nine0003
Eugene purchases and tries on outfits. He sings a song about what Rapunzel will do on the day of her coronation a marriage proposal. He has already purchased a diamond ring for this.
Rapunzel sings: this is my happiness. But maybe I'm still wrong?
The rat grabs the coronation poster and takes it to the dungeon. There she gives it to her mistress. What's the matter, Lady Kane, is something wrong? the rat asks. A woman reads a poster and burns it in a candle flame. She says it's time to pay a visit to the royal family. nine0003
The king, queen and Rapunzel at the entrance to the palace receive guests of honor arriving for the coronation ceremony.
An old lady gets out of the carriage. Rapunzel sincerely hugs her, the lady becomes ill.
The king tells his daughter that hugs should not be so powerful. Stepping out of the carriage is Lord James, the 3rd of his name. Rapunzel asks: can I just call you Jim? No, don't.
Another important guest. Rapunzel expresses admiration for her hairstyle, saying that she, too, once had such red hair. The aristocrat who arrived says that this is not hair, but an overlay made of vicuña wool, evidence of a high social status. Rapunzel says that she is sincerely glad for the arrival of the guest. She says that the joy of the host, apparently, is not so great that the princess deigns to put on shoes. nine0003
In the evening, Eugene and Rapunzel sit in a boat on the river. Eugene says: you have learned a very valuable lesson: hugs are not always good. But my dream is you. Rapunzel says she loves Eugene too. They are about to kiss when Cassandra appears. In surprise, Eugene falls into the water. How is the vodka? Just like you: black and cold. Cassandra reminds Rapunzel that she has several important events planned for tomorrow.
It's impossible to fall.
Princess Rapunzel is inspecting the city. She is accompanied by security, which excludes any contact between the princess and the people. nine0003
In the evening, Cassandra asks her friend: did the day not live up to your expectations? I so want to see the world! I can help you with this. And the king wouldn't know about it? Does that mean we're sneaking out? Exactly!
Festive dinner. Eugene is sitting at the table with the kids throwing food at him. Cassandra, passing by, notes with satisfaction: I am responsible for the seating of the guests.
After the start of dinner, Eugene gets up from his seat, goes to the center of the hall, asks Rapunzel to come up to him and addresses those present with a speech: the king and queen, dukes and duchesses, counts and countesses, barons and baronesses, marquises ... and companions of marquises! He gets down on one knee. Rapunzel is worried: have you lost something? Eugene takes a box out of his pocket, removes a ring from there and proposes to the princess: since you cracked me with a frying pan, I realized that this is love.
You are my light. I want to be with you, spend my whole life here with you. So that we grow old together, so that our children and grandchildren appear here. Rapunzel clarifies: here - that is, in this castle? Do you know the best offer on the housing market? I love you, of course, but I can't accept your offer right now. I need fresh air. Rapunzel runs out of the room. nine0003
Later, Rapunzel tells Cassandra that I did something terrible to Eugene. But I love him! But I need to get out into the fresh air. Will be done, princess! Cassandra offers Rapunzel a choice of weapons. Where did you get that? I'm the daughter of the head of the guard, it's in my blood!
Rapunzel says to her pet chameleon: Pascal, stay here. Make sure no one knows about our escape.
Eugene goes to Rapunzel's room. The guard blocks his way: the lady of the court ordered that no one disturb the princess. But Eugene persuades him to let him in: what a court lady she is, this is Cassandra! Pascal portrays Rapunzel behind a screen, Eugene says, thinking that the princess is listening to him: maybe I was a little hasty with my proposal? Finding out that Rapunzel is not in the room, Eugene laments: I poured out my soul to the frog! nine0003
After leaving Rapunzel's room, Eugene runs into the king.
He says he wants to talk to his daughter. Eugene claims that Rapunzel does not want to communicate with anyone now. Therefore, a wise, just and generous king will not violate the privacy of the princess. The King agrees with Eugene's arguments. Saying goodbye to the king, Eugene tries to start a conversation about today's proposal. More on that later, son. Much later.
Cassandra and Rapunzel sneak through the night streets of the capital. Quiet, now the patrol will pass! How do you know about it? I have an eye in the sky. An owl flies to Cassandra. And what is his name? Just an owl. nine0003
Girls take their horses, gallop along the river bank, look at the fish swimming in the water. A wolf comes out to meet them, Cassandra takes up her sword, but Rapunzel calms the predator by scratching its belly. Girls swim with horses across the river in a boat.
Cassandra and Rapunzel are walking along the viaduct leading beyond the wall surrounding the kingdom. Stones fall from under the horses' hooves.
The girls leave their horses and continue on foot.
Cassandra says: just promise me that no one will know that I took you outside the wall. Now I'll show you something. Cassandra shows Rapunzel a platform studded with sharp stone needles. What's this? I don't know, but they grew up a year ago. Step aside. Cassandra draws her sword from its scabbard and cuts the needles. They cannot be broken! This place once grew a flower that saved your mother. Rapunzel touches one needle, an explosion is heard, more and more stone needles appear from the ground, the girls run to the wall. Rapunzel begins to grow golden hair. nine0003
About the New History Child Development Center on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg
I probably belong to that type of crazy modern mothers who, from the very first months of their child’s life, ask questions about developing programs for babies, a good kindergarten, school, university; they think about where to start and how to have time to shove all possible and impossible knowledge, English, into the child before school, choose between sports sections, music, creativity.
I am a mother of four children, three of which are already old enough and they already have their first successes and achievements. We had to involve all relatives in the process of educating older children, hire a driver, tutors, spend a lot of time driving around the city in search of quality clubs, sports clubs, music and art schools ... We tried different directions: music, sports, dancing, drawing ... From something was refused very quickly, somewhere they were delayed forever. Often I had to take a container of food and a change of clothes for the children with me before picking up from school. In the car, they ate, changed clothes, then ran to mugs, then we drove to another area of the city for a section. And then lessons, additional language classes, and so on until late at night. And also theaters, museums, reading books ... Even vacations and numerous trips have always been beneficial: with a mandatory excursion or sports program.
nine0003
Familiar picture? I think that many mothers who have already grown children will recognize themselves in my story. So what to do? Do modern conditions of survival dictate to us such a style and pace of upbringing and education of children, or are we trying to implement in them everything that we ourselves did not receive or did not finish learning in our childhood? I don’t know, but it’s a fact: we really try to have time to give our children a lot, sometimes even too much.
I have something to be proud of...
I can't say that all my efforts were in vain, and I, as a mother, have nothing to be proud of for my children today. The eldest daughter is already successfully studying at the University, the youngest is a student of one of the most prestigious conservatories in the world, the son has achieved serious results in sports; each of them is fluent in two languages, they are great swimmers and play tennis, go skiing, constantly visit theaters, museums, exhibitions, read a lot; none of them ever had a choice of future profession, because they determined in time what works best and what really captures.
But the most important thing is that they are accustomed to work in all its manifestations and, probably, their knowledge, clear self-determination and habit of working for the result, never sparing themselves, allow them to achieve serious success today. nine0003
Start New Story
But still, with the advent of the fourth child, I thought: is it really necessary to start running around the city again, tiring myself and the baby, offering the child different directions of self-realization, looking for his talents and preferences. Again the question arose: a nanny or a good kindergarten, English, sports? What to give preference?
Probably, this little man prompted the idea of creating such a children's center in which a child could spend almost all his day fully and interestingly, get a harmonious and at the same time high-quality education, without tiring himself and his mother with disruptions of regime moments, endless trips etc. nine0003
This is how the "New History" appeared - a developing center for children and their parents.
