Following a teaser for the upcoming Tangled series last fall, Disney Channel is back with an expanded look at the new show. The series will launch with an all-new animated film, Tangled Before Ever After, that will premiere on the network in March. As you can see for yourself in the player below, Tangled Before Ever After brings back Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Maximus and an awful lot of hair.
Based on Disney’s popular animated film Tangled, the new series will see Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprise their film roles alongside a returning voice cast that also includes Jeffrey Tambor as Big Nose and Paul F. Tompkins as Shorty (both Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs), as well as M.C. Gainey as Captain of the Guards.
Joining these returning favorites are Ashley Judd as Rapunzel’s motherQueen Arianna; Broadway star Eden Espinosa as Rapunzel’s handmaiden and confidant, Cassandra; comedian Jeff Ross as Hook Hand’s brother Hook Foot; Richard Kind as Uncle Monty; Sean Hayes, as Pete the Guard; Peter MacNicol as Nigel the Advisor; Clancy Brown as Rapunzel’s father King Frederic; Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as blacksmith Xavier; Diedrich Bader as Stan the Guard; Charles Halford as Pub Thug Vladimir; Steve Blum as Pub Thug Attila Buckethead; James Monroe Iglehart as Eugene’s friend Lance Strongbow; Jeremy Jordan as teen alchemist Varian; and Jonathan Banks as Quirin, Varian’s father.
Tangled Before Ever After takes place in between events of the feature film and the 2012 short film Tangled Ever After. Apparently there were a lot of adventures that Rapunzel and Eugene got into in the time in-between!
Tangled Before Ever After will feature new songs from Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. Clare Keane, daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane (who served as an animation supervisor on Tangled), consulted on the series.
