Glen Keane's Rapunzel

Not much is known about the plot except that it was closer to the final film and that it would have been darker in the vein of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Rapunzel was back to being the lead, but was now a mostly quiet character with limited speech. Mother Gothel was a much more subtle villain with a sinister edge to her. Beau the dog became the sidekick to Bastion an orphaned young man who is forced into a life of thievery. He worked for a man named Griffol who has been keeping the kingdom of Corona in a state of war since Rapunzel's kidnapping. Bastion finds the tower that Rapunzel has been kept in and form a bond together. Rapunzel would have spent the majority of the film in the tower; only coming down about the last quarter of the film. Gothel's fate would have been the same as in the final film.
