A beautiful thing from Ray Harryhausen, which means first of all perfect animation, thanks to which the puppets move exactly like living people, elaborate facial expressions (admittedly a bit too theatrical in places) and a perfect atmosphere. The fairy tale is of course simplicity itself, most of the action takes place under or in the tower, but the ending in the desert has great charm.__P.S. Did the prince's expressions while watching the witch climbing the tower also remind you of Rowan Atkinson?

The climbing scene into the tower is once again an animated beauty. Yes, this is another of Ray Harryhausen's fairy tales. Yes, I am obsessed with him. What can you do about it? But above all, it is because in his animations, you feel something that escapes you in other puppet animations - life. Ray genuinely tried to make his puppets move as realistically as possible. And he succeeded even in the case of fairy tales. "The Story of 'Rapunzel'" doesn't stand out in terms of the story, it is a classic adaptation, but once again, it is the animation that makes it an above-average spectacle.
