Rapunzel and the Return of the Falcons

An orphaned crown prince named Sigismund lives under the control of the regent Queen Freya. To prove himself as a worthy successor, he attempts to climb a sacred tower associated with the Falcon dynasty. He is aided by Eleonor, a sorceress whose magical abilities were revived by her adopted daughter and Sigismund's childhood friend, Rapunzel. When Eleonor refuses the queen's demand for loyalty and service, the queen imprisons both the sorceress and the girl. Sigismund helps them escape to a secret tower accessible only through Rapunzel's enchanted hair, though they remain hunted by royal spies.
