Here I Am

I've noticed many things that Disney might have copied from Barbie movies. The songs and Barbie as Rapunzel are two of them.

There's a song from Elena of Avalor called "Steppin'Up" that uses lyrics from many Barbie songs.

I'm comparing them.

1. "Each step that I take it's hard to see" similar to the lyrics from What If I Shine, "If your eyes are closed it's hard to see."

2. "But I'm gonna stand tall, even when I fall" similar to "And even if she falls, she'll laugh and stand up tall" from You Can Tell She's A Princess.

3. This is where I go crazy.

"Cause I'm steppin up

I am here to stay

No matter what they say

I'm gonna win the day

I'm steppin up

Giving all I got

There's no way I'll stop

Until I reach the top"

And the lyrics from Here I Am go like this:

"I'm steppin' up (I'm steppin' up)

Right to the top (Right to the top)

That's how I'm wired

I take it higher

I'm in control

I broke the mold

The girl you see

Is upto me

I'm liftin' off the ground

Finding the perfect sound

Here I am, being who I want

Giving what I got

Never a doubt now

Here I go

Burning like a spark

Light up the dark again"

See the similarities? Now let's talk about Rapunzel. In the first tellings of the story, nor the author or anyone associated Rapunzel with painting. Mattel was the first to do so, and gave Rapunzel a passion for painting and a purple dress.

Then in 2010, Disney makes a Rapunzel movie named Tangled. They give her a passion for painting and a purple dress.

Now, the question is, when no one associated Rapunzel with purple and painting except Mattel, why was the need to do the same, Disney? That means Disney did plagiarise.
