![]() In the short film, Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding day has finally arrived. Although Frederic, like Arianna and many other minors and supporting characters, does not speak, he has vivid and lively facial emotions and body language that loudly and clearly express his thoughts and ideas. He is then seen again smiling and hugging Rapunzel and Arianna. Frederic returns to the scene towards the end when Rapunzel returns to reunite with him and Arianna. These scenes show that he and Arianna have a close and loving relationship and that they still grieve for their lost daughter. Frederic mourns silently while preparing for the launch of the first lantern, and Arianna comforts him. He is seen releasing the lantern again, the night Rapunzel arrives with Flynn Rider to watch the lanterns float. After Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel, every year on Rapunzel's birthday, Frederic and Arianna release a lantern festival for their daughter, in the hope that one day she may return. He is first seen by his wife's sickbed while she is heavily pregnant with their daughter and lighting the lantern with Arianna later on after Rapunzel's birth. He became King of Corona when married Queen Arianna, who was born into the royal family of Corona. He also, apparently, has a soft spot for children, as he does not choose to have two little girls arrested after they're caught stealing.įather to Rapunzel and husband to Queen Arianna, Frederic is the ruler of Corona. The result was a reformed relationship between his family and subjects, one built on trust. ![]() As such, he forced himself to confront his inner demons and change for the better. ![]() He was nevertheless able to recognize the selfish nature of his decisions, and how they were causing a great deal of harm for both his family and his people. While his actions can be dubious, Frederic is well-intentioned. ![]() Frederic does not take kindness and loyalty for granted as mentioned in " Queen for a Day", Frederic was able to recognize the goodness in former rogues such as Flynn Rider and the Pub Thugs, and in turn provided them with opportunities to change their lives for the better, despite the borderline negative reception such an act received from his staff and subjects. He cares a great deal for Corona and its people and shows a great deal of compassion and respect to his subjects. Because of this, Frederic had been compared to Gothel by both Rapunzel and Eugene.ĭespite his firmness, Frederic is a kind and noble ruler at his core. However, his constant need to keep secrets and lack of trust in his daughter only further pushes the two of them apart. This creates tension between Frederic and Rapunzel, but despite his firm attitude on the matter, Frederic tries his best to make Rapunzel feel happy and content with her new life. Despite his overwhelming joy toward Rapunzel's return, he was admittedly unable to separate "the father from the king", therefore creating laws, rules and restrictions that limited Rapunzel's freedom in hopes of preventing another catastrophe similar to his daughter's kidnapping at the hands of Gothel. Gothel's actions drove Frederic to an understandably paranoid state of mind. The moment his daughter was returned, however, King Frederic embraced his restored family and, as seen in Tangled: Before Ever After, vowed to never let anything happen to them again, especially Rapunzel. When Rapunzel was kidnapped by the wicked Mother Gothel, he was devastated, and remained as such for the following years. In the original film, King Frederic was said to be a beloved ruler alongside Queen Arianna and was also shown to be devoted to his family.
