The Disney film "Tangled" (2010) is loosely based on the fairy tale "Rapunzel". Mother Gothel uses the properties of a special plant to keep herself young.

Her hair is found by Mother Gothel to have the same properties as the plant and she kidnaps Rapunzel. She keeps Rapunzel imprisoned in a tower and prevents Rapunzel from ever cutting her hair. Just before Rapunzel's eighteenth birthday, she escapes the tower with the help of a thief, Flynn Rider and goes on a whirlwind adventure which sees her eventually cutting her own hair to try and break free of Mother Gothel. She heals Flynn with one of her tears, disposes of Mother Gothel, is reunited with her parents, the King and Queen and marries Flynn, whose real name is Eugene.

The movie features Mandy Moore as the voice of Rapunzel, Zachary Levi as the thief Flynn Rider and Donna Murphy as Mother Gothel, the villainous evil witch who imprisons Rapunzel. The film received a nomination for Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Award, but lost to "Toy Story 3".

The Dreamworks film "Penguins of Madagascar" (2014), features the penguins from the original "Madagascar" film who investigate the kidnapping of penguins from zoos all over the world, by Dave the Octopus (John Malkovich). Dave is seeking revenge as he believes the penguins' cuteness caused him to be transferred from every zoo he has lived in. He creates a serum which will turn the penguins into monsters and so doing will cause the humans to despise them. The North Wind is a multi-species organisation, lead by Agent Classified (Benedict Cumberbatch) who are investigating the disappearances and eventually help the elite unit led by Skipper (Tom McGrath) and includes Kowalski (Chris Miller), Rico (Conrad Vernon) and Private (Christopher Knights) to defeat Dave or as he is known to the humans, Dr. Octavius Brine.

The penguins are captured in a Fort Knox vending machine, where they took Private for his Cheesy Dibbles birthday present, by an octopus in the vending machine. The penguins are taken to a submarine and once they break out of the cage, they explore the submarine with Private pushing every button he can find. The first encounter Dr. Brine when he is walking upside down on the ceiling and falls to the ground. Once untangled, he greets his captives:

Penguins: Ew! (In reaction to the fall and untangling of Dr Brine)

Dr. Octavius Brine: Now, that's just hurtful. [untangles himself] And I was so happy to see you again, Skipper, [Skipper gasps] Kowalski, Rico, and sweet little Private. [flicks Private's beak] Boop!

Skipper: Who are you?

Dr. Octavius Brine: The humans know me as Dr. Octavius Brine. Renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives. But you know me by a different much older name. A name perhaps you hope you'd never hear again. A phantom! A shadow of a former life! I am...

Dave: Dave!

Needless to say, the penguins do not remember him and this angers him. The penguins steal his serum and are able to escape which leads to a wonderful chase scene and timely intervention by the organisation, the North Wind.

The Toad: My memoirs. Volume one details the dire and tragic story of my youth.

...it arrived. That rat! While the poor boy's head was turned, I was cruelly plunged into a whirlpool of despair.
