* AccidentalInnuendo: During the scene where Otto suggests that Gothel give Hobie to him so that he can eat him, Otto lets out a very suggestive moan in between sentences, as if he wants Hobie for a... ''different'' reason.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Seriously, just listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oc2jy2o47w the basic theme]].
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Penelope is easily the most beloved character of the film. She has a very cute design, Creator/CreeSummer gives a wonderful performance, and she easily has the most CharacterDevelopment in the film. Penelope is also often considered the best of the [[NonHumanSidekick sidekicks]] in the ''Barbie'' movie series, especially since that they often range from being [[BaseBreakingCharacter divisive]] at best and [[TheScrappy despised]] at worst.
* FriendlyFandoms: A lot of fans who grew up with this movie also ended up being fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}''. Fan works crossing the two over are common online.
* MemeticMutation: Otto's aforementioned moan, as well as the scene where he's engulfed in dragon fire.
* MoralEventHorizon: Gothel casting a spell that would imprison Rapunzel in a tower forever, simply because she thought that she was lying to her, when in truth, Rapunzel was honest the whole time, but Gothel is unable to see it. [[spoiler:Of course, the fact that she kidnapped her in the first place with the full intention of causing a war and thus thousands of deaths entirely out of spite probably means she crossed it earlier.]]
* OlderThanTheyThink:
** The much-later ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' (Disney's adaptation of the same fairy tale) has a lot of details that were first seen in this film, such as the witch being named Gothel, Rapunzel being a painter [[spoiler:and a kidnapped princess]], and a few of the costume designs (most notably dresses with similar appearances and lilac/purple coloring).
** The movie itself is not Barbie's first crack at the story; aside from various picture books and dolls, there was notably a [[VideoGame/BarbieAsRapunzel CD-ROM game adapting the story from the 90's]]. Nowadays, it's often gets confused with the movie's ''own'' LicensedGame.
