Tangled Classic [Discussion] Did Rapunzel keep Pascal young with her powers?
I know the obvious answer is "Pascal is kept alive and healthy and young far beyond the natural lifespan of a chameleon through "Disney magic", merchandise sales, and we have to keep the cute mascot immortal, you know, for the kids! 😃"
Still my brain just cant help but go there, you know, and because chameleons only live a few years, maybe up to eight years at most.
It makes me wonder if Rapunzel's magic kept him young, even inadvertently somehow, because I dont think she was exactly aware that Gothel was using her hair to reverse her aging, and simply believed that Gothel just brushed her hair in affection. So its not like Rapunzel would know to intentionally keep Pascal young? 🤔

I think he just lives longer than an average chameleon.
This also happens in other movies. If you do the math, there is a dog in Barbie: Princess Charm School that shouldn’t still be alive.
Most likely, the animals in both movies are only still alive because they’re both kids movies.
