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 scene of climbing the tower is a beautiful bit of animation. Yes, this is another one of Ray Harryhausen's fairy tales. And yes, I'm hooked. What can you do? But mainly because in its animation, you feel something that usually escapes you in puppet animation - life. Ray really strove to make his puppets move as realistically as possible. And he succeeded when it came to fairy tales as well. The Story of 'Rapunzel' doesn't stand out significantly in terms of its story, as it's a classic adaptation, but once again, it's the animation that makes it an above-average spectacle.
