RAMOS, Flávia Brocchetto; VOLMER, Lovani  and  BOHM, Verônica. RAPUNZEL AND TANGLED: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES. e-Curriculum [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.372-390.  Epub Sep 30, 2020. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2020v18i1p372-390.

The symbiotic relationship between cinema and literature, apart from the organization of the narrative, also involves aspects related to verbal and visual languages, which gives meanings to texts. Therefore, this article discusses, through comparative analysis, the themes and the discursive and symbolic construction of two cultural products oriented to children: Rapunzel fairy tale, written by the Grimm Brothers in the nineteenth century, and the movie Tangled, based on the same story, produced by Disney in 2010. Thus, the text discusses on childhood and cultural production for children, as well as on film language and literature, considering aspects in which they are similar and where they differ. As for the results, it is pointed out the interdependence between the two products when referring to the diegetic universe and the characters, adapted to the interests of today's society. However, the film, when talking about themes that point out women's new role in society, as well as the extremes of vanity, independence and free will, goes through deep changes. It also brings the child spectators, on the narrative interstices, axiological positions, concepts and prejudices.

Keywords : Childhood; Cultural production; Identity.
