So basically CS is the couples from Tangled, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Princess Bride all in one. Huh! You just realized the similarities now?

As enjoyable as Tangled is, the love story is not very original. Rapunzel and Flynn Rider were (very likely) based off, the couples from The Princess Bride and Star Wars. It is no secret that Emma and Hook, were based off those two couples either.

Though, why did you mention'' Pirates of the Caribbean? ''If memory serves correctly.... Will Turner, the blacksmith, was Elizabeth Swann's love interest.
