As a fan of the original Tangled, I was curious where they were going with this series. Happy to say if you're a Tangled fan the series follows the film almost seamlessly.
First there's the TV movie, Tangled: Before Ever After, which I personally didn't care for too much. It was a bit too hammy and moralistic, low on humor and cliché. "Stubborn princess disobeys father. Father doesn't understand stubborn princess." We've seen this story play out so many times.
Now the SERIES on the other hand really gets things going. I would still recommend watching Before Ever After because you get explanations for some major plot elements of the series.
First there's the humor. I think Tangled the Series is really funny. It's anchored by being set in a renaissance / medieval period and it manages to work the period into its humor, which is really great because it reminds me of things like The Princess Bride or Monty Python and the Holy Grail, other films that did well with not taking the setting seriously. That's a huge plus for Tangled.
Then there's the voice cast which is awesome since it's being helmed by the original voices. You never get a sense that you're not seeing Rapunzel or Flynn being the way they are, and the voices really help with that. In fact one of the best things about Tangled is that we get to see more of Flynn and especially Rapunzel. As much the film developed her character, it was still limited by the runtime. The series really fleshes her out and we have a more defined idea of who Rapunzel is. Flynn was always flashy and we get a lot more of Flynn, the arrogant side and the deeper "Eugene" part of him. Although we really should be calling him Eugene since that's what he goes by in the series. There's also a new character who is just fantastic, Cassandra. The banter being Cassandra and Eugene is one of the running jokes that the series plays with really well. As a trio, they work really well together.
It's also nice to see Rapunzel and Eugene "dating" in a sense. Since the film went by so fast, we have more of a chance to see what their relationship is like.
So far I've been really loving this. It's like an expansion pack of the original movie - more insight into the kingdom, more insight into the characters and a bigger setting to play around with. -
chloemckayc24 July 2020Although I can't really tell what audience this show is aiming for, it is quite enjoyable. As many other reviews tell you, "Tangled: The Series" is an overall combination of warm-hearted, fun scenes that are found in the typical children's show and some other scenes that may frighten kids. That combination is a little unusual; nevertheless, the show is still amazing. I'd say pre-teens would enjoy it the most.
As you might have also seen other reviews say, this series contains MANY fillers. Not sure if I would recommend this show to people who want to get straight to the point. Most of the fillers do include character development, though.
One thing I also want to mention that I saw in another review is that the protagonists are a little different than in the movie. Rapunzel's innocence is quirky and lovable in the movie; in the series, to many (not necessarily to me), it just makes her seem annoying and naïve. Which, she was definitely naïve in the movie, but you'd think after all that she'd been through, she would be much less. She was only the slightest bit less. It makes it even more ironic that she mentions quite a few times in the show that she isn't naïve anymore. Eugene, well, is just her go-to guy for emotional support. He wasn't much of an "emotions" guy in the movie, though I understand he could've grown to be like that the more time he spent with Rapunzel. It's just weird to me to go suddenly from an orphan/thief to a sort-of therapist.
One reason I enjoy this show probably a little more than I should is simply because I am a Tangled lover. Definitely recommend to any Tangled lover. Overall wonderful show! -
gabrielpappel22 December 2017I don't know what I expected from a series made from Tangled, to be honest. I liked Tangled, didn't think it was the best thing ever but definitely a good time. This series however went up and abound my expectations! I didn't expect it to start (in the Before Ever After-movie) with Rapunzel feeling trapped again and not liking her happy ever after, even though Flynn/Eugene settles in like it's the best thing ever. It's so realistic though, for a character that have always been locked up and a character that used to have nothing. Not to mention I have yet to see a tv series EVER to portray such a good, healthy relationship as Raps and Eugenes. All the characters are cool, though slightly more one dimensional at times than the movie. The new characters (Cassandra and Varian especially) are interesting and gives us fun relationship dynamics. There is some silliness that might be a bit much at times but mostly the jokes are genuinely funny. The animation is really nice, and the colour setting in this series is to die for! I couldn't give enough praise to the people working on the colours in this series. The music is also surprisingly good and catchy for a series, things you find yourself humming all day.

esthercedar10 July 2017We all love it and there just isn't enough in the first season. The witty humour is as always exceptional and once you get used to the new style of artwork is highly entertaining. Very glad there is a second season on it's way!
10 out of 10, we all need more wholesome, funny cartoons in our lives. -
gavin-thelordofthefu-48-46029726 August 2020Back at 2010, Disney released Tangled, a movie about Rapunzel, after being in the tower for a long time since childhood, goes out with a thief named Flynn Rider in order to pursue the lanterns on her birthday. Her biological mother, Mother Gothel, however, intends to use Rapunzel's hair in order to retain her youth. It became a box office success and thus plans for a television series were made.
Originally spun off from Tangled: Before Ever After, the series continues the adventures of Rapunzel during her adjustments to the life of a princess while encountering a mysterious return of her 70 feet magical golden hair. Little did she know that mysteries surrounding the world of Corona lie ahead as she tries to uncover them along with Cassandra, Eugene, and many others.
Now that it's been nearly 6 months since the show ended, I'm not going to do any spoilers and give the show some praise. Not only is this one of the best animated Disney channel series, but it's a great continuation of the movie. I know there's many people out there that either love it or hate it, but as a person who loved the movie back at the early 2010s, I personally love this show.
Not only does it expand on the original film with very deep storylines, it provides some solid character development for not only for Rapunzel and Eugene, but every other character in the entire show notably Cassandra. In fact, the characters are both likeable and relatable with some engaging and heartfelt voice work from Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Eden Espinosa and everyone else including Julie Bowen, Clancy Brown, and Jeremy Jordan. The pacing for every episode so far has been solid as it provides some atmosphere.
The animation is also another great aspect. The character designs of Rapunzel Eugene, Maximus, and Pascal along with the other characters from the movie are good while the new character designs are also good. Not to mention that the visuals are perfectly colored especially the look of Corona.
And last but not least the music. Alan Menken, who composed the music and songs for the movie, returns for the show and provides some great new songs with Kevin Kliesch notably "Wind in My Hair" in the opening intro. Also, the music score is haunting uplifting, and poignant.
Overall, Tangled: The Series is a great show. To those who haven't seen the show yet, check out the movie first. -
pianofurlong16 April 2020When I initially saw the trailers advertising that Tangled was becoming a cartoon, my immediate thought was that it would be a superfluous cash grab. I was surprised to find a show that, while aimed towards younger audiences, is actually rather entertaining with a pretty good story arc. It is a kids show, but it's a pretty good kids show with good animation and solid music

dontakeitpersonal15 October 2020I didn't think that I would enjoy this series, as I thought Disney was again milking and squizing the last bit out of this cow. At some points in the series it did become a bit too long and slow. Life lessons for parents and kids are ok. Overall a nice storyline, nice twists and ok character developments. The ending was decent.

jayrogen28 November 2017Bestest show I've ever watched, thank you so much Disney if your reading this, we really love this show, "we" as in me, and it's the best please don't stop and thanks 10/10.

wardwissmann4 March 2020I think they did a great job. Very enjoyable even if you didn't see the movie.

As you probably know I love the 2010 film Tangled. Its my all time favourite movie from the 00s and I loved everything about it. The animation,the music,the charcthers,the voice acting everything was top notch in this movie. In 2012 we got a short on Rapunzel(voiced by former pop star Mandy Moore)and Eugene Fitzherbert(voiced by Zachary Levi)who get married,and then that was it, until in 2017 Disney decided to bring back Tangled again,except make it into a TV show/special with Tangled Before Ever After which centres on Rapunzel dealing with being a princess and now we have come to this TV series dubbed Tangled:The Series. So is it any good since I only seen 2 episodes of it so far. Well lets find out.
Season 1 What The Hair: Is about Rapunzel who dreams that Mother Gothel comes back again to get her back to the tower again,and Rapunzel and her friend Cassandra visit this eccentric inventor that tries to help Rapunzel with her magical hair that grows back again since the Before Ever After TV special movie and it backfires. Rapunzel doesn't tell Eugene about her hair because he has a habit of not keeping secrets. Overall this episode was good and enjoyable. Eugene is still hilarious as he is in the 2010 film.
Season 2 Rapunzel's Enemy: This one is about Rapunzel who gets booed by a man named Monty who dislikes her for some strange reason,and Rapunzel's partner in crime Eugene Fitzherbert tells her that its OK that no one will love you and not everyone will. So Rapunzel tries her best to impress Monty even donning a disguise as Missy sporting a brown wig and a ridiculous dress(how she was able to put her 70 feet of hair under that wig was beyond me). But will Monty ever like Rapunzel?
Overall you guys I am happy with Tangled coming back again. I loved the film since 2011 and I was always a fan of Mandy Moore.Zachary Levi(who stole the film from the original)was still the same as he was back then.
Now I have to come clean. I just can't get this hand-drawn style of this show. I wished they used another software so that it can have its true animation like its original counterpart. Yes I know that the original film used expensive technology but how come How To Train Your Dragon got a TV show and kept its animation and Tangled didn't.
But still I did enjoy the show so far. I hope they will add new songs soon cause I miss the songs from the original film.Mandy Moore does the theme song for this show titled Wind In My Hair,while UK singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield sings More Of Me To Give during the ending credits.
My final rating a 7/10 -
elliemehaffy16 April 2019The original movie is my favourite Disney film and when they announced the series I was obviously skeptical. However, this series has proved time and time again that it isn't just a money grab. It's so well thought out and planned and you can really tell that the creative team care about these characters and their stories. The twists and turns are greater than that of a movie sequel could ever wish to achieve and I for one am so glad that we get even more plot than we would have had in a feature length movie sequel. There are some glorious songs written by the wonderful Alan Menken and Glen Slater, and with original voice actors Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi back, there's nothing to deter you! As a theatre fan I really appreciate the additions of Eden Espinosa, Jeremy Jordan, and James M. Iglehart just to name a few - all of which are wonderful in their roles! This show is not only for children but also the fans who resonate with the original movie and want more from these beloved characters. I encourage everyone to give it a go!

lelamarie12 November 2017I would give this a higher rating but the visual for this is horrible. My kids will watch only if nothing else is on because they said they hate the way it looks.
If the animation is supposed to appeal to an older audience aka tweens they are missing the point! We all know Disney has enough money to not slap a show together with no thought whatsoever. Hotel Transylvania falls in the same category. Elena of Avalor is a much better all around show -
Ebelle1257 May 2020It's okay other than the fact they have made Rapunzel so self centered and inconsiderate. If you watch the show you'll notice how almost every other episode is the same and that's caused by her. Hopefully no one is showing their kids this show to use as a role model.

alvincat9917 April 2019Beautiful animation, songs by the guy who wrote the songs for The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and many more, and a riveting story full of plot twists that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Season 1 has a few kiddish/non-plot essential episodes, but don't let that deter you. Episode 16 is where it really starts getting good. -
cullenarmstrong5 April 2019Tangled: The Series may at first seem like a generic slice-of-life cartoon with mediocre animation, but give the show a chance and you will find a surprisingly compelling story waiting to be discovered.
Animation:
Probably one of the weaker aspects of the show. The animation is merely serviceable, but isn't ugly. I appreciate the choice to use 2D animation, but it doesn't seem like the show was given the budget to really take full advantage of the medium.
Characters:
At first, I was worried that the main character Rapunzel would turn out to be a Mary Sue, and her character can come off that way in earlier episodes. However, the writers thankfully decided to give her flaws such as irresponsibility, naivete, and being pushy. Not only that, Rapunzel must make difficult decisions, and reacts to tragedy and grows in an organic manner.
The two other main characters, action girl Cassandra and the dashing but vain rogue Eugene, are also delightful. Their enmity and repartee are a joy to watch, and they both come in handy to Rapunzel when she needs them. I like that Cassandra doesn't hate femininity like many warrior women in media, and also faces pressures from trying to live up to her father. Eugene also faces a tough road while trying move beyond his criminal past.
The supporting cast is serviceable. Rapunzel's father King Frederic is one of the highlights, as an overbearing yet ultimately loving man who constantly butts heads with the free spirited Rapunzel.
However, overshadowing even the main cast is the character of Varian. A brilliant young inventor whose impulsiveness often gets him into trouble, Varian is an adorkable character you can't help falling in love with. Varian's resourcefulness and the lengths he will go to help the one's he cares about make him the best thing about this show.
Music: The soundtrack is decent, and many of the songs that are included are a bit unmemorable. However, two songs in particular are stunning and practically cinematic. Jeremy Jordan, who plays Varian, stands out as an amazing singer who can really use song to help the audience relate to his character's struggles.
Story: The story of Tangled begins light and episodic, with a focus on comedy over drama. Sometimes the main characters will come off too one note in these early episodes, and in a few episodes Rapunzel comes off as a Mary Sue. However, once the show finds it's footing, it really gets good. Around Episode 16, the show shifts in a more dark direction and Rapunzel must make hard choices with lasting repercussions. From that episode onward, the show only gets better and better as twists and challenges culminate in an emotionally charged and powerful climax.
Verdict: I would like to give this show a higher score for its final episodes, however it is held back by a weak opening. Too often, children's entertainment is afraid to take risks. Tangled: The Series shows that when television trusts its audience to handle a more serious story, the result can be magical. -
maximogiordano16 February 2022This series is great and this is why:
1. Animation
Many people complain about the 2D style... Let me tell you something: this is so much better than the cheap CGI alternative they had. There was no way to create more than 1500 minutes of footage for the whole series in the same style as the movie, which is the most expensive animated movie of all times. Great character design, top quality facial expressions, beautiful backgrounds and colors. The choice was perfect!
2. Voice Actors
We've got the original cast from the movie plus Jeremy Jordan, Eden Espinosa and James Iglehart, among others. They bring TTS characters (old and new) to life, displaying all kind of emotions flawlessly. And their voices... OMG! Wich leads me to the following item.
3. Songs
Alan Menken and Glenn Slater came back to write the songs and it really paid off: Waiting in the Wings (which got an Emmy), Nothing Left to Lose, Crossing The Line, and the list goes on. The songs are beautiful, move the plot forward, bring character depth and the animation on them is just amazing.
4. Writing
The mythology, the expanded universe, the world building and all the characters are amazing. Not to mention these guys had it all planned out right from the start (I can't say more without getting into spoilers)
Watch it! -
mickeyb-4815413 October 2019Feels like classic Disney, such high quality everything! The original songs are so good and the show just has a real heart to it that isn't very common in Disney or any TV and animated shows.

sky-1914123 March 2022My sister said this unprompted after a Pixar binge: "It's quite the whiplash from toy story because the jokes are bad the dialog is bad and the whole time you feel nothing"

alexamg-1736122 April 2019This is such a great show and this last season was EPIC. Everyone should watch it, it's much more than a kids show. It has great songs, both Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprise their roles, as does almost every other side character from the film. Eden Espinosa and James Monroe Iglehart (Broadway) are both series regulars with amazing roles and Jeremy Jordan is the voice of a well beloved side character. The visuals are beautiful and the animation is spectacular, it keeps getting better and better. It's as good and probably better than some of the original animated movies we have from the 1940s-70s. The style may throw you off for a second because it's not how the movie looks, but they can't make a whole show using the same tech for a film. The style is so beautiful and is meant to mimic Rapunzel's drawing style, and it does a great job. This show is for EVERYONE, I can't get enough of it. Please watch and support!

magee-4274528 January 2019Fun, funny and entertaining. Disney needs to air more of this show. I've rewatched season 1 and 2 twice so far. Hopefully more coming soon !!!

Tangled began with whimsical and humorous episodes bringing us into the kingdom of Corona and did a splendid job of developing the characters in the story. You really get to know Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra well, and the side characters too. However in episode 16, the writers went into a completely different direction with the story, making unbelievable changes in the characters and events. It felt like they needed to abruptly and forcibly change a character simply to have a villain, but the execution was terrible. After this episode, season 1 became a crazy, magic meets science fiction mad alchemist mess.

destructostorm28 October 2021I do not like what Disney does usually by releasing CGI movies then releasing 2d animated show only for cashing. They should learn from DreamWorks on this one. Hardly any successor shows from Disney exist that are good, this one is the best of them all. The characters are nicely preserved from the movie unlike most cartoon shows and the newer ones are also good. Its unexpected disney flick which anyone can watch.
Ever After was released earlier to this one and in that we did not see any newer friends(not a single girl) even after 5 years which isn't like Rapunzel at all. That missing female friend is covered in the show thoroughly and believe me it's great not to mention story,music,etc.
Also thing to note is lack of Romance tag which is true even though Tangled is so much about Rapz and Eugene's dynamic but that does not hurt at all. Rather the relationship between two is so mature that every scene between the two is heartwarming Its kiddish but most of the messages can be taken by grown ups (especially the ones involving Raps and Eugene). You wont regret watching this one. The only reason to not give 10 : Eugene felt a bit sidelined to me even though he is a core character. He could be developed more. -
caitluz8 July 2023This show is a blessing for the songs alone. I wouldn't care about the plot because I love the songs so much, but thankfully the plot is really interesting! There are a few episodes that were pretty hard to watch, I just found them kind of boring due to being pretty meaningless to the story, that was only in season 2 though! I loved how the characters are shown, it seems super realistic with how Rapunzel acts after being locked in a tower her whole life and nicely builds on the movie! A lot of the times things like this can ruin the original, but it just made it so much better being able to know they had such cool adventures after the movie and it wasn't just a case of happily ever after.

crazywings-5170412 December 2021Despite the show's Y7 rating, the writing has witty dialogue and hilarious character dynamics. Many of the new characters are unique and unforgettable.
While the filler episodes often have cliché and/or downright silly plots (typical kids show), the episodes that cover dramatic arcs and character backstory are done well. They have a classic fairytale adventure feel.
It's remarkably consistent with the canon of the movie. Small details are always remembered and there are never any loose plot threads that don't get tied up.
All of the music is excellent, composed by Alan Menken himself (the movie songwriter). The animation style takes some getting used to and occasionally glitches but it is pretty impressive for a Disney channel show. I also love the dramatic shot types they sometimes use.
Given that the show outperforms so many others in the same category, I decided.to give it a 10/10 rating. I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I am a highschooler.
