Misuse. Composites disqualify expy. The other one is a superficial comparison

** Mother Gothel looks very similar to the way Bernadette Peters portrayed the character in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods''. They even have the exact same motive for locking Rapunzel in the tower (protection from the outside world, albeit sincere in the latter's case). There's also the young and old forms both take, the arrogant insistence of being right, and the awesome singing voices.
** Her eternal youth shtick might also be something of a surviving trait of the original concept of Yzma. Further evidence of this one comes from the fact that ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' started life as a much more standard Disney flick under the working title ''Kingdom of the Sun''. Note the motif of the kingdom in ''Tangled''. The key difference here is that Proto-Yzma believed that the sun itself was what robbed her of her youth and beauty, while Mother Gothel actually gains hers from the essence of sunlight.
** Her over-protectiveness and passive-aggressive emotional manipulation also call to mind Frollo from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}''. The song "Mother Knows Best" and Frollo's part of "Out There" are, lyrically, uncannily similar.



* {{Expy}}: Due to being a large and intimidating crime lord, he's quite similar to The Kingpin from Marvel Comics.
