MUMBAI: As part of the month long 'Barbie special', Cartoon Network will premiere the animated movie Barbie as Rapunzel on Sunday 10 September at 12 noon. In conjunction with the 'Barbie' theme this is the second Barbie blockbuster being aired on the network during the month.

The story revolves around the life of Rapunzel, who is believed to have the most beautiful radiant hair the world had ever seen. She lived as a servant of Gothel, a jealous scheming witch who kept her hidden deep in a forbidden forest, guarded by the enormous dragon Hugo and surrounded by an enchanted glass wall.

However, in a twist of fate, Rapunzel's discovery of a magic paint brush leads her on a journey that will unravel a web of deception, bring peace to two feuding kingdoms and ultimately lead her to love with a handsome Price Stefan. She succeeds with the help of Penelope, the least intimidating dragon.

An inspiring and magical tale, Barbie as Rapunzel touches every girl with the message that with courage and imagination, anything is possible. With Ken co-starring as Prince Stefan and with a host of endearing supporting characters, this exciting new Barbie adventure is also a story of romance and highlights the importance of friendship and loyalty.

The movie has been produced using computer generated animation and features a song by Samantha Mumba and music by London Symphony Orchestra.
