Disney fans freak out after realizing the kingdom Rapunzel is kept from is called 'Corona'

If you haven't seen Disney's Tangled, go check it out, it is honestly incredible.

The movie is a loose adaption of the German fairy tale Rapunzel, featured in the collection of folk tales published by the Brothers Grimm. Becoming Disney's 50th animated movie, Tangled follows the story of Rapunzel, an unknowingly kidnapped princess who yearns to leave her secluded tower and see the world.

However, she is kept locked away by the evil Mother Gothel, who only wants to take advantage of Rapunzel's magic long hair to keep herself youthful for eternity.

A great movie, no doubt - but why am I bringing it up during a global pandemic?

If you're looking for things to do while at home, Rapunzel has some great ideas...

Well, Disney fans on social media are freaking out after learning a fact about the story that fits in rather unbelievably to the situation the world currently finds itself in.

You see, with so many people self-isolating in their homes, it's only natural that they started to feel like the locked-away Rapunzel and therefore decided to watch Disney's Tangled.

But upon doing a little research into the movie, fans have learned that the name of the kingdom Mother Gothel is keeping Rapunzel away from is - and I am being 100% serious here - the Kingdom of Corona.

Here are some tweets from some VERY exuberant Disney fans after learning this fact:

The coastal kingdom not only featured in the movie, but it is also a world in the popular Disney videogame Kingdom Hearts III.

It may seem like an odd choice of name for a Kindom, but it actually makes perfect sense. You see, the word 'corona' actually means "crown" in Latin - hence the name choice. It is also why Corona beer features a crown on its logo, and the coronavirus even got its name from the Latin origin due to the crown-shaped nature of the virus particle.

Still, the irony here is somewhat unbelievable.
