'Tangled' TV Series Is Coming to Disney Channel!
It’s no Tangled sequel, but this is still awesome news!
Disney is adapting its successful 2010 big-screen blockbuster for a new animated television series on Disney Channel – and the film’s original voice stars, Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, are back to reprise their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene (aka Flynn Rider).
The new series will take place after the events of the feature film and before the 2012 short, Tangled Ever After, which saw Rapunzel and Eugene about to marry. (The short film drew an impressive 5 million viewers to Disney Channel in its premiere.)

In the series, Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. But instead of accepting her royal destiny, she puts her duties and impending marriage to Eugene on hold for more adventures, much to the chagrin of her parents.
