Disney may have weirdly predicted that the world was going to be struck down by coronavirus and everyone would need to self-isolate.
We’re not kidding.
Y’know how The Simpsons is eerily spot on with its predictions that play out onscreen, well, turns out Disney knew a thing or two about putting yourself in quarantine when anything called Corona is involved.
Cast your minds back to 2010 when Disney dropped Tangled, a new and improved version of Rapunzel that we all instantly fell in love with, if not purely because of Rapunzel’s pet chameleon Pascal.
If you’re not quite familiar with the story, Rapunzel has magic hair that stops her mumma from aging, so Mother Gothel decides to lock Rapunzel away in a tower to keep herself looking young. Who needs anti-wrinkle cream, eh.
But, in some weird coincidence that has truly blown our minds, the village Rapunzel is kept away from is Corona and she’s locked in quarantine for days on end (until Flynn Rider rocks up, that is).
Ergo, we are Rapunzel and the village is actually a pandemic.
Disney fans have been making the link on Twitter and it’s safe to say they’re completely losing it.
One fan tweeted: ‘remember the film tangled? and how she was locked up in a castle?? AS IF the castle was called CORONA castle… shame we’re not living a fairytail, i’d rather be locked up in a castle tbf.’
‘I’m shook… #Tangled #disney #corona,’ agreed another Disney fan.
But, it wasn’t all bad news with one pointing out that quarantine actually led to Rapunzel finding her perfect man. Here’s hoping.

They tweeted: ‘Corona is an island kingdom and the birthplace of Rapunzel in Disney’s 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. After a significant period of isolation it is also where Rapunzal met her future husband/prince. Just saying.’
In this new world that is self-isolation, social distancing and plenty of hand washing, celebrities are coming together and donating huge amounts of money to coronavirus relief efforts.
Some artists are hoping to keep fans entertained by live-streaming gigs on social media (we’re looking at you Ronan Keating and Gary Barlow) and others are just entertaining us with the outright absurd and hilarious.
