A couple stole vegetables because they were poor and were caught by a witch. She asked their first child to give her an animated cartoon.

A long time ago, there was a man and a woman who always wanted a child, but they never got it. Finally, this woman can only hope that God will give her a child. There is a small window at the back of their house, from which we can see a beautiful garden full of exotic flowers and plants. However, there is a high wall around the garden, and no one dares to go in, because the garden belongs to a witch. This witch is so powerful that everyone in the world is afraid of her. One day, my wife stood at the window and looked into the garden. She saw a vegetable field with beautiful lettuce. These lettuce were green and watery, which immediately aroused her appetite and made her want to eat it very much. This desire is increasing day by day. When she knows that she can't eat any more, she becomes very haggard, pale and miserable. Her husband was frightened and asked her, "Honey, what's wrong with you?" "Ah," she replied, "if I don't eat lettuce in the garden behind our house, I will die." Because her husband loves her very much, he thought, "No matter what happens, it is better to get her some lettuce than to let her die." At dusk, he climbed over the fence, slipped into the witch's garden, quickly pulled out a handful of lettuce and took it back to his wife to eat. The wife immediately made lettuce into a salad and wolfed it down. This lettuce is so delicious that she wants to eat twice as much lettuce as the day before the next day. In order to satisfy his wife, the husband decided to turn into the witch's garden again. So, at dusk, he sneaked into the garden, but as soon as he climbed down from the wall, he was startled because he saw the witch standing in front of him. "How dare you," she said angrily, "sneak into my garden like a thief and steal my lettuce!" "Well," he replied, "have pity on me and give me a break. I have no choice but to do so. My wife saw the lettuce in your garden from the window and desperately wanted to eat it. If she doesn't eat, she will die. " When the witch heard this, her anger subsided a little, and she said to him, "If things are really like what you said, I can let you pick as many lettuce as you like, but I have one condition: you must give me the baby that your wife is going to give birth to." I will let her live a good life and treat her like a mother. "The husband was afraid and had to agree to all the conditions of the witch. As soon as the wife gave birth to the child, the witch came, named the child "lettuce" and took the child away.

But this is not an animation.

Barbie in Barbie's Rapunzel is also the prototype of Rapunzel. A girl with beautiful hair was brought up by a witch and finally got to know the world in her own hope and finally came together with her parents. Although this story is not quite the same as Rapunzel at first glance, judging from the plot, it is entirely based on this script.
