As a child, I listened to audio versions of classic fairytales. One of my favorites was “Rapunzel” and I remember laying on the floor on rainy afternoons, closing my eyes as the narrator’s storytelling unfolded in my imagination.

I felt like I was there in the tower when the prince climbed Rapunzel’s hair only to find himself face to face with the witch. I was devasted when he was blinded from his tower fall and overjoyed when he was reunited with Rapunzel and regained his sight. What a story!

As an adult, with bills, errands and work to worry about, it’s a little harder to fire up the imagination without a little help from Disney so I was extremely excited to see these concept art photos for Disney’s animated film version of “Rapunzel”:

“…this new telling of the classic fairy tale, will transport audiences to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair, lots of hair.”

Rapunzel will be in theaters just in time for the Holidays, in December 2010. Until then, maybe dad will let me borrow those old fairytale story audios…I think I’d like to let down my hair and take a whimsical journey through my imagination.

But before I go, here are my suggestions for a child and adult Rapunzel costume:

Barbie Rapunzel Costume

Renaissance Wench Costume

Lady Godiva Wig
