BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 From Disney Insider... What Makes the Tangled Animated Series So SpecialPosted recently This is a very awesome surprise, even to us: in 2017 a new animated series based on Disney’s phenomenally popular animated film Tangled will debut on the Disney Channel in 2017. Get your frying pans and flying lanterns and smart aleck-y chameleons ready. Now, animated series based on Disney animated films aren’t exactly a new phenomenon, with everything from Hercules to 101 Dalmatians getting turned into episodic television. The biggest feature-to-television-series conversion was the syndicated Aladdin TV series, which ran for 86 episodes and included three additional movies. Most recently Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs got the small screen spin-off treatment with The 7D and starting this fall The Lion Guard, which focuses on Simba’s son, will make its official rollout, first as a television movie in November and then at the beginning of next year as a TV series (both will air on Disney Junior). But what makes the Tangled series so special is the amount of talent that they’ve retained from the original feature film. This new series will feature Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprising their roles of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (nee Eugene) from the movie and showcase new songs from Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater, who were responsible for all of those catchy tunes in the original film. Clare Keane, daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane (who at one point was the director on a very different version of the film and who later served as an animation supervisor), consulted on the film. They’re really getting the band back together. This is roughly the equivalent of snagging Robin Williams for the Aladdin television series. Additional characters from the feature that will make the leap to episodic television include Rapunzel’s chameleon sidekick Pascal, the uppity horse Maximus, the thugs from the Snuggly Duckling Pub and a brand new character: Cassandra, described as “a tough-as-nails handmaiden, who becomes Rapunzel’s confidant.” We’re sold. In terms of timing, the series takes place in between the events of the feature film and the start of the utterly charming 2012 short film Tangled Ever After. Apparently there were a lot of adventures that Rapunzel and Eugene got into in the time in-between. We don’t have any details on what the animation style will be but based on the promotional artwork, Tangled fans will be very, very happy. http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2015/06/03/what-makes-the-tangled-animated-series-so-special/?cmp=SMC|tan|natural|blginsider|InsiderJune|FB|tangledseries-Tangled|InHouse|2015-06-03|||esocialmedia Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 That's great news. I thought Tangled was a much better movie than Frozen! Now if they can make a series starring Merida.... Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The sample picture looks like it's going to be an older style type of cartoon, like the stuff we used to watch in the 60's. Link to post Share on other sites

Family of Bears 98 Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 If it falls after the movie, she's gonna have short brown hair, right? How are they going to work this? The hair is kind of a big part of it.... No way they slap the long blonde hair back on her and act like it didn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites

This links to a good article, but no answers to your question... http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/02/05/tangled-2-why-disney-never-continued-the-story-of-rapunzel-2662198?lt_source=external,manual Tangled 2: Why Disney Never Continued The Story of Rapunzel After the release of Tangled in 2010, Disney created a six minute short 2 years later called Tangled Ever After, presenting eagerly awaiting fans with Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding. The beloved couple were content and, despite our unwillingness to admit it, their journey seemed complete. As we already know, Rapunzel and Eugene were last seen tying the knot, with Mother Gothel deceased and The Stabbington Brothers watching the ceremony in chained handcuffs, shedding joyful tears for their former companion. All was well.If Disney were to make a sequel, what more could they actually tell the audience? Do we really want our beloved couple to unnecessarily experience a tragic turn of events just to make an interesting sequel? Perhaps the story is best left where it finished - a truly happy ending."There was a desire somehow to take it into a filmic sequel. But the directors weren't really interested in doing that."
