I have a theory: the Evil Queen was Snow White's real mother, as demonstrated by the considerable physical resemblance. Snow White grew up to be an equally powerful witch, but being Snow White, made entirely different use of her magic, creating beauty to help other people. She became queen and became the "Fairy Godmother" in her old age, since being beloved of her people, and a queen, it simply wouldn't be suitable to call her a witch.

@lyndseystrait1513

I like that theory (especially Snow White having magical abilities)! However, the movie does make it pretty clear the Evil Queen married into the throne and wasn't Snow White's biological mom. However, we aren't ever told that Snow White's father the king didn't have magic and Snow White could have been blessed by fairies at birth like Aurora was so there is still a possibility she has some kind of magical abilities/connection.

The evil queen only made herself look old to disguise herself as an old woman to trick Snow White into eating the poisoned apple, I'm pretty sure that if the evil queen didn't die and had made it back to the castle, she would've transformed back into her beautiful self, also Mother Gothel didn't really have any powers in tangled, she used the golden flower to make herself look younger which is why she kidnaps Rapunzel since when Rapunzel's mother was pregnant she drank this soup thing with the golden flower in it therefore transferring the powers of the golden flower to Rapunzel''s hair, so Mother Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel she can stay young and beautiful using Rapunzel's magical hair, both the evil queen and Mother Gothel went to extreme measures like how Mother Gothel kidnaps a princess and the evil queen plotting to kill her own step daughter for the sake of their own beauty, which is one of the strongest reasons fans theorize that Mother Gothel and the evil queen are the same person which I personally believe.

You can even tell in Tangled that Gothel had a weird beauty insecurity. Like not including the whole thing about her kidnapping a princess. Just the way she reacts to things. She almost gives off a chill version of "Did I just chip a nail?" Like in the very beginning, you see her inspecting her face for wrinkles and flaws before having Rapunzel sing for her

Dude Mother Gothel is totally the Evil Queen

Oohh!and did you notice when mother gothel falls on the tower,and when its in the ground its like theres no people there and fall like an normal hood

the evil queen fell down the cliff but she held the mountain and hid behind the rock that fell on her so when the dwarfs saw from their side they saw the empty cliff end not the body of evil queen so it can be that she survived using her magic by secretly going into the palace but runs away before the guards enter and then she would have found that tower wear she lived 300 years but then suddenly her magic starts to end and then she remembers of that magical flower which she saw while falling of the cliff that could keep her alive so she runs to the same cliff and then the story of tangled begins

Mother Gothel was evil but she treated Rapunzel well. She cared for her. She surprised her. She made her happy. She consoled her when she was sad. She never even thought of hurting her. Had she been able to cut off Rapunzel's hair she wud never have needed to abduct her. Im sure she loved her somewhere. She knew that if she didnt cherish Rapunzel her hair wud fall weak. Mother Gothel protected her. In a way too as she knew that the powers of her hair kud stop working if Rapunzel wud fall weak. She cookef her favourite meal. She gifted her thr things for her to develop her skills and talents like painting. She saw her grow and probably showered her much love in her childhood. She must have been happy seeing the mischiefs and growth of Rapunzel. She has experienced the joys of motherhood. After all she just held her captive. But she never ill-treated her or harmed her.

Mother Gothel” yup that’s a good name because goth-el

Queen Grimhilde has straight hair

the start of tangled has mother Gothel on a small part of a cliff and there is a boulder behind her that looks like the boulder that supposedly killed the evil queen in snow white

Um, what if Gothel was her sister and raised the same way like Cinderella’s sisters were....and taught beauty was all that mattered and was raised by a mother who knew magic and had magic items since Gothel couldn’t get the magic books because her sister took everything with her when she married, she looked for any magic item that could grant her long-lasting beauty?

Also, at 6:56, Tangled takes place in the 1780's while Gothel's dress is from the Renaissance, so she was over 400 years old.

I've always thought two peas in a pod should mean twins.

I respectfully disagree with this theory. Gothel does not even look similar to the evil queen. The queen has green eyes, while Gothel has grey/bluish eyes. The queen has arched eyebrows, while Gothel has normal eyebrows. The queen has straight black hair (it's revealed during her transformation into the old hag), while Gothel has curly hair. Gothel has a hooked nose, while the queen's nose is straight. Gothel's body is very curvy with big breasts, while the queen's body seems thinner and with average breasts. Also, the Queen is more serious, cold and emotionless, while Gothel is all over the place, with a sassy, dramatic and teathrical personality.

I apologize in advance for my long rant/theory of Mother Gothal. This video didn't even sway my opinion in the slightest. The apple at the end wasn't from blood it was from paint. I think that Mother Gothal's true identity is Medea from the Greek stories of the famous Argonaut Jason. I know that Mother Gothal is Greek because of one of the lines from the healing incantation. If you remember, at the beginning of the movie it shows that she was the one who came up with the lyrics, not Rapunzel. The lyrics that show she's Greek are 'Change the Fates design'. The Fates were the triplet daughters of Zeus and the Titaness Themis(Maybe. I know that it's one of the T names. There are three of those). When they were born they immediately became shriveled little grannies. They would knit and when they snipped the string, some mortal life would come to an end. The gods quickly discovered that they not only could see the future, but they could also control it as well. This ties into the 'Fates design' part of the lyrics. We don't officially know it but Mother Gothal has done somethings that would have had to be done by magic. In the reprise of 'Mother Knows Best' fog starts to come into the clearing and when Mother Gothal leaves, the fog goes with her and stops far enough away that her and the other guys can see Flinn and Rapunzel but they couldn't see them. Mother Gothal knew exactly where they were in that scene as well and it never really tells us how she found them. We can see from this scene that Mother Gothal may have had some experience with men acting like they're interested in her, but only because they wanted something that only she could provide. In the story of Jason, Medea helped Jason do everything that her father had wanted him to do, in order to help get Jason the golden fleece, A ram skin that could heal anything and make lands prosper. Jason never would have gotten the golden fleece if it weren't for Medea's help, but years later, Jason was very unhappy with being married to Medea, which was her price for helping him retrieve the fleece in the first place. He left her to marry the princess of the kingdom they were staying at. Then next time Jason came home was because he was being chased by an angry mob after the princess died from her wedding dress which had poison lining the inside. The dress had been a gift from Medea but when Jason got there he found Medea standing over the dead bodies of their two sons with a knife. She said that that was his punishment for breaking his promise of staying with her forever. We see this in the fact that Mother Gothal is completely fine with murder when it comes to something that she wants. Another example of this in Medea's story is when they were sailing away from her father's kingdom. She called a flag of truce and her brother came on their ship. Medea killed her brother and the crew in a panic killed his guards. They started to sail away and this is the point when Jason realized that he had agreed to marry a crazy person. As they sailed, Medea chopped up her brother into little pieces and threw his parts overboard. The army that was following them had to stop to find all of him because back then it was believed that your soul would be trapped on earth if you weren't buried with all of your body. If this evidence isn't enough for you then I don't know what to tell you. Signs that point to Mother Gothal being Medea: 1. Their both Greek 2. They both have magic 3. They both may or may not have guy issues 4. They're both absolutely fine with cold-blooded murder 5. They are both creepy beyond reason 6. Neither takes broken promises very well 7. Neither works well with others 8. Both are(or should be)wanted for murder and theft/kidnapping 9. They are both too evil for words 10. They're both young beautiful women(Did in not mention that Medea was stunningly beautiful as well as creepy(Mother Gothal in appearance)) 11. They both guarded something that could keep you healthy/young(I think that the place where the flower grew was the place where the Ram was sacrificed and its blood created rich soil that the flower grew from) 12. Both will do whatever it takes to get what they want The flower was said to be "A hop, skip, and a boat ride away." Medea originated from Colchis, the farthest the Greeks had ever traveled and the end of the known world. The kingdom of Corona is in Germany. A hop to Poland, a skip to Ukraine, and a boat ride to the border between modern-day Turkey and Georgia. My theory is that Medea went back home after her husband, King Aegeus of Athens had the guards chase her out of the palace for trying to kill his only son Theseus(Theseus was really Poseidon's son but who cares about stuff like that when you're a king who's dying who hasn't had any kids)after he came to the palace to tell him of his parentage. When she finally arrives years later(Trips that far take a very long time)she finds that she is getting old and weak, and knows that her life is going to end soon. Then while walking she sees this golden flower and that it's glowing and the plants around it are much greener than the rest. She, having once been a priestess of the goddess of magic, Hecate, instantly knows that it can help her, sensing that it has the power of the fleece she once helped to guard. She starts to sing to herself and finds that during her song, her voice became younger, her hair darker and more luscious, and her body less wrinkly and full of aches. She knows that she has become young again. To prevent what happened last time she better guards this gift, and comes back many times to sing to it as she discovers that, if she's away from it too long, she starts to become her real age. She guards this flower for centuries until the knights of Corona find and take the flower to aid the sick queen. She secretly follows the search party back to Corona by blending in with the commoners heading back to the kingdom. Too weak to steal the flower back she waits until she hears that the queen had eaten the flower and had a daughter. She knows that the daughter will have the properties of the flower and sneaks into the castle in the dead of night when the guards are being switched out and tries to take some hair from the child but quickly finds out that it isn't going to be so easy. She kidnaps the child and I'm sure you all know the rest. That's what I think and who I think Mother Gothal really is. Once again, I'm sorry for such a long comment and I congratulate anyone who has gotten this far.

2 things wrong with this theory: she could have survived the fall but what about the rock and tangled the series gives her a backstory

The evil queen scared me as a young kid

Bro the evil queen did a bombastic side eye🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
