Rapunzel, kidnapped as a child by the wicked witch Gothel, is freed from her tower prison by handsome Prince Gunther who promises to show her the world. Their plans change when Gothel hears the Prince below the tower, cuts off Rapunzel's hair and allows the Prince to fall from the tower after he climbs it, then banishes Rapunzel to the Land of Eternal Winter. The blinded Gunther, his page Rolf, and Rapunzel's friend Pandora the white cat, ever pursued by the witch's Goblins, must summon their last ounce of courage to brave the dangers of the Forest of No Return and convince the powerful Goblin King to help them find the Prince's lost love.
