** In ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel'', Gothel casts a spell to try and trap Rapunzel permanently within the tower, but the wording of the spell meant it was ''Gothel'' who ended up sealed inside, while Rapunzel was able to just stroll right out.[[note]]The spell stated "Never release your prisoner with a lying heart", as Gothel thought Rapunzel was lying to her - Rapunzel wasn't lying, so the spell didn't affect her, but it ''did'' affect Gothel, who was a compulsive liar.[[/note]]
