How Tangled Became an Amazing Series | Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure Review

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I can’t believe a show spinoff of Tangled had more heart, emotion, and maturity than most shows now a days. Heck I felt Cass and Raps were closer sisters than either Frozen film

[@afilmbee]

yes!! i love cass and raps’ friendship so much

[@cintronproductions9430]

Yeah, as much as I like Anna and Elsa, I admit that calling them super close is a big pile of steaming bullcrap. Elsa almost killed Anna when they were kids, and Anna grew up alone thinking that Elsa wanted nothing to do with her, and they finally reconnect as adults only for Elsa to hide in the mountains, where Elsa almost kills Anna AGAIN, and then all is fine until the sequel where Elsa then abandons Anna and the entire kingdom to go live in the forest and roll in the mud and wipe her bum with leaves and eat bugs and snails and crap. Now they're literally not close, Elsa is physically far away from Anna in a world with no social media.

[@dionysos46]

If we stay to compare with the first Frozen, yes. But TTS from Cass evil arc don't hold a knee on Frozen 2. Anna is so wise in, and Elsa isn't ashamed to be the magic prophetic spirit from difficult lineage.

[@JinxSanity]

The series really did Rapunzel some justice! Y'all probably might remember that whole Disney and DreamWorks fandom crossover works called "Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons" that plague Tumblr and KZbin, yeah I wasn't a fan of that fan crossover since poor Rapunzel was turned into a damsel in distress and Jack's girlfriend and later into his ex-girlfriend joke once Jelsa came to ruin everything. THIS series really would had blown the fans minds away and made them treat Rapunzel with respect cause the series made her into a powerful being with her connection to the sun drop and expanded with the moon stone which gave her dark powers! It got a bit mix with Cassandra's story later on, but damn does Dark Cassandra's design looks badass. And freaking love Zhan Tiri being the last villain and being a demon sorceress disguised as a creepy child. Seriously Zhan Tiri was for me the first True Disney Villain in years and not pulling some lame last minute twist. It makes me sad that Disney didn't promote this series more and only aired the finale ONCE. It's like Disney wanted to not only finish the series but buried it as soon as it was done! Really a underappreciated series both by Disney and the fandom.

[@benraven9087]

As many problems I had with the show (looking at you, Cass), I honestly had a great time watching it. The songs were my favorite part. Menken and Slater really treated this as if it was going to the big screen.

You know, I've watched through this series twice, once by myself and the second time with my dad. And after watching it a second time, I've realized this is a shining example of what Disney sequels should be. Along with actually expanding upon the characters and story, it tells a much darker tale expertly. Admittedly, the stuff with Cassandra could have been handled better, but over all, this series was a very pleasant surprise.

I’m so happy to see you speak so highly of this show! At first glance, I thought it would be a show targeted toward preschoolers that wouldn’t have much thought put into it. I’m so happy that I was wrong! It’s easily one of my favorites shows! I love that you pointed out Rapunzel/Eugene’s relationship development, because not many shows are willing to develop a relationship like this after the movie. They feel like a real couple in the sense that they have realistic conflicts, and are able to overcome said conflicts because their love for each other matters more. Most of the songs are straight up bangers. It’s hard to pick a favorite! This show feels like the closest thing to perfection, and I seriously adore it! I really hope the upcoming Tiana show will be just as good, especially when developing her relationship with Naveen!

When I saw Tangled, Rapunzel was okay. She wouldn’t be a role model to little girls to me. She just seemed like another boring Disney princess to sell little girls merchandise. When Tangled the Series came out, I was like Wow. They took her and went through her trauma and she doesn’t just get over it. She almost seems like she sometimes has PTSD which is never shown for female characters. She becomes smarter and bolder. Her getting married didn’t seem like her final destination but her ruling. She now seems like she not only can rule but will respect all her people. This is needed more than ever.

I finished watching the Lilo & Stitch cartoon, and it's a high quality continuation of the first film. My favourite episode is the one with the experiment that can enter people's dreams. Seeing Lilo reliving her memory reminiscent of the picture with her parents really got to me. In general though, for what is supposed to be a formulaic show, I hardly got bored due to the incredible amount of variety, relaxing atmosphere, and some great contrasting comedy. Highly recommend it. Now if only there is a way I can record it from my 60Hz streaming service to 50Hz VHS.

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I've seen the original series so many times now and it's pretty good, definitely one of the best installments in the franchise. Also, your favorite episode that you we're referring to is Remmy, which is also my favorite episode of the original series.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Yeah, that's it. Remmy. I also liked Spike and Rufus.

[@TheWickedMerman]

First of all, the Jimmy Neutron show wasn't based on the movie but rather that the movie was supposed to be the beginning of the show. The show was always going to happen but there was a short pilot that has bits and pieces resembling the movie, like the alien villains, but it was ultimately decided for the movie to be the starting point for the show. Anyway, the show really is AMAZING! Some of the characters do look odd in the new style like Mother Gothel, Rapunzel, and sometimes Eugene. But the show really has become of the BEST animated TV shows EVER. The music is actually better than the original movie and I think the show is even better than the movie itself. Cassandra is my favorite character and I love her journey and her relationship with Rapunzel. The animation is actually meant to resemble Rapunzel's drawing, only with more sophistication to keep it looking too different from the Disney style. I love how this show feels like a true continuation and you can tell that it so so carefully crafted and planned out. I'm hoping that Tiana's show (Yes, it's finally getting a TV series) will get the same care and quality.

The most hilarious thing about this TV show is that a good portion of us went into it because of our love for the movie, but left it feeling more attached to one or more of it's side characters. pfft... Disney really should have capitalized on the series more. I'm saying this as an adult who isn't even part of their intended audience. I'd shell out cash for some quality merch of my faves. I'd even be in support of new content such as books, comics, or a spinoff series.

@@Soreiya yeah not only would VAT7K definitely expand on world building, we would also see a more diverse cast of characters…..and also more Varian. Though I’m not sure if I would want songs in the show or not because I feel for the information we have so far we wouldn’t need it if the writing was top notch.

[@Soreiya]

@@Potatoesop From my understanding the spinoff was originally pitched as a comic and not a series. :( Though if it was a show I would prefer it to have a few songs. Quality over quantity though. We don't need wasted budget on something like the Hookfoot song from season 2. It's good that they were trying to create a more diverse cast. It would have been nice to learn more about the other kingdoms and their cultures. There is one thing that I'm not fond of and that's Hugo being a reused D&D OC. It's lead to the fandom clinging to unsavory bits from the existing character and treating it like canon information... I don't like the thought of Varian being paired with a guy that sleeps around. It makes me kinda sad that so many people cling to this HC. x___X It just turns Hugo into some generic Flynn Rider 2.0 knockoff character... It robbed him of the opportunity to grow organically in the fandom like the other characters have.

[@brianlevine871]

I was also really impressed with this show and how it handled its many elements: the characters and their relationships, the animation and art direction, the progressing story, and especially the songs. It was certainly a good choice to binge-watch during the pandemic last year. Speaking of the visuals, one thing I kind of admire about the show's intro is that it starts off in a CGI setting as the camera zooms in on an open book, leading to the 2D style. It's a pretty clever way of transitioning from the look of the movie to that of the show, like we're getting a glimpse of Rapunzel's artwork and possibly her own thoughts. If there's one major thing that bothered me about this series though, it's how they handled Cassandra's journey to the dark side. Some of her motivations seemed kind of petty, the way she bought Zhan Tiri's manipulations felt aggravating on her part, and when she finally decided to fully reform herself, it didn't feel earned because of how much damage she caused at that point and rejecting multiple chances at redemption. The only things I liked about her evil self are her cool design and the songs she sang, 'Crossing the Line' and 'Nothing Left to Lose.' With that aside, this show was definitely worth watching. Now if only Disney made that spinoff with Varian.

[@Potatoesop]

Goodness, I think a majority of viewers wanted that.

[@andreasmeelie1889]

I loved Cassandra as a villain but what you said about her I can't deny I felt that way too. Yet, to be honest, I kept on feeling like Zhan Turi had her under a spell that throw common sense that she knew all out of the window and that's another reason why she acted the way she did.

And how Rapunzel’s Tangeled Adventure is one of those animated series based on movies that’s actually done fantastically with great heart, effort and creativity from the writers to capture the elements of the original animated film that people loved and expand upon them to make it an interesting continuation off of the original animated film.

Even Spirit Riding Free shit tv series is another example of a soulless cash grabbing animated tv series which disrespect and insult to the original source material and demand by nobody and it was demand by executives just to make money.

Fun Fact: The show's art style was designed by the person, who designed Rapunzel's paintings in the movie. Which I like as it's kinda like Rapunzel is drawing down all these adventures she's going on, as implied by the intro starting in CG but then going hand drawn when it pans into her journal. But here's the fun part that person is Claire Keane who is the daughter of the creator of Tangled, Glen Keane. Which also makes her one of the only people, aside from the voice actors and Alan Menken, to work on both Tangled and Tangled: The Series.

The Movie, and this show began with the TV movie Tangled: Before Ever After, which was distributed as a Disney Channel Original Movie (which I know is normally the kind of Disney movie banner that you almost never trust, but Before Ever After I could say is one of the best DCOMs next to Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension). The last time Disney made an animated series based on one of their animated films before this one (outside of Disney Junior) was The Emperor’s New School (based on The Emperor’s New Groove). And that one didn’t have a movie to serve as a pilot at all (Well, there is the DTV sequel Kronk’s New Groove, but it doesn’t count for a pilot).

[@jamesgeorgi6627]

Great review man! Maybe the next time you’ll have an opportunity to review an animated Disney show, maybe you could review stuff like Phineas and Ferb, Big Hero 6 the series, Kim Possible, and other successful/popular animated Disney shows.

Varian fans over here wanting Varian and the Seven Kingdoms spinoff series.

[@jonnyboy4289]

I find it crazy to where Tangled is growing in popularity status to the point where it's becoming a beloved animated classic up with the ranks of Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin, while Frozen's reputation is becoming more negative nowadays (for the wrong reasons based on its popularity) and Little Mermaid's reputation nowadays has become more divided and negative.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Frozen I can understand since I found the first film to be pretty weak (the second was pretty decent), but I watched The Little Mermaid for the first time a few months back and enjoyed it greatly.

The show is animated by Mercury Filmworks, whose works include Mickey Mouse 2013 (renamed to The Wonderful World Of Mickey Mouse when moving to Disney Plus), Wander Over Yonder (season 1), Penn Zero Part Time Hero (season 1), and The Lion Guard, just to name a few examples. They would later be known for shows like Legend Of The Three Caballeros (with 6 Point Harness and Atomic Cartoons), Hilda (with Silvergate Media), and Kid Cosmic.

Big fan of the series here and just wanted to say if you like the series also check out Varian and the Seven kingdoms, its a proposed spinoff from 2 of the writers for Tangled the series centered around Varian. A lot about the new characters and the plot is already released, and it seems like it be a really awesome continuation of the series. Disney hasnt approved it yet, but if enough fans push it it'll have a better chance of release!

[@michaelmcjunkin1372]

2:01 and now Disney + is doing more shows based on movies such as: Tiana (Princess and the Frog), Moana and Baymax (which sounds like a do over of the Big Hero 6 series)

[@Kusanagikaiser999]

To me...Tangled Rapunzel Adventures is not just as amazing as the film (which is one of my top 5 favorites Disney films of all times)....this show....IS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE......in almost all ways.....I love the CG animation Tangled have, but Tangled the series 2D style and designs is one of my favorites in modern animation media, and the work they did with expressions in this show....is INSANE, and the fact they made it looks this good consistently for a TV show.....blows my mind, the songs of this show....are leap better than most DISNEY FILMS, I can listen to 80% of the show songs as easily as I do for many classics, these will be classics in no time....the characters, I frankly can see a show based on Cassandra or Varian, that's how good the new characters are (seriously Disney, Cass show, make that happen...or at least a comic), and the story, this not just expand the universe of Tangled incredibly well, I'm so much invested in the Animated series story than even the film (again the same film I have in my top 5), this is not just the best sequel any Disney property ever had, this is possibly the best animated show based on a film from Disney in their entire TV history, and easily in the top 3 best shows based on a film ever made (I personally have it in the number 1 spot on that list). This show is just incredible and if you are a Tangled fan you need to watch this show, period.

m actually so glad that Tangled got a series instead of a sequel. i think a sequel would be really lifeless, as the movie was such a good story and really rounded of the plot. a second movie would always feel rushed. the series was the perfect way to slowly tell a story of a 'normaler' life and establish how rapunzel now lives

[@calebdoerksen2]

2:25 You didn’t mention Phineas and Ferb? That one had prominence in television animation like the other four shows you mentioned.

[@cintronproductions9430]

Phineas and Ferb is overrated and it's annoyingly repetitive and almost every episode is exactly the same cuz the characters say the exact same phrases over and over again and they all yell their lines instead of talking like normal people and Candace is one of the worst characters ever created on par with the likes of Caillou and her fashion sense is atrocious and her neck makes a giraffe's neck look short!

[@Stardust.Creations]

Spot-on review! I totally agree with like, all of it xD Honestly though, what is it with Zachary Levi's trend of playing strong male leads in healthy and communicative romantic relationships? Idk but I am HERE FOR IT

[@mariechen4375]

I will never shut up about how this stupid series completely ruined Flynn's character. They reduced him to the dumb boyfriend side character in favor of cassandra and gave all the development and emotional scenes to rapunzel and cassandra when in the movie it was about rapunzel and flynn and they were completely equal and equally developed. In the series flynn is completely sidelined and the trauma he should have is never mentioned. Instead it’s all about cassandra. It’s because of frozen, they gave rapunzel a sister and focused only on the sister relationship while dumping down the boyfriend. I really hate that, flynn deserves better! I also think they ruined rapunzel and Flynn’s relationship. Rapunzel not only always takes him for granted, she also lets cassandra constantly insult him and says nothing, keeps secrets from him in the first episode and rejects his proposals even though she was willing to give up her entire freedom and basically her entire life just for him in the movie. And now your telling me she would let another person constantly insult him, lie to him, take him for granted and even reject him? Are you kidding me??? This seems so out of character for rapunzel. I could believe it if she wasn’t willing to give up her life for him in the movie but she was! Like that it seems just out of character. And it’s also completely unrealistic for the time period they live in to reject a proposal and then still be together. Back then you could only be together if you were engaged or married, that’s why all the princesses marry so early, it’s just fitting for the time period and I hate it when people criticize the other princesses for marrying so early when that’s only how things worked back then, you had to be married or engaged other else you couldn’t be together. And I hate it that she rejected his proposal and then was allowed to still date him in the series that’s not realistic for the time period. If you want a modern relationship you should let it take place in today’s time not the 18th century! And if the writers didn’t want her to be married yet they should have just let them be engaged at least. I hate how they portrayed marriage as a prison for rapunzel even though she loves him. Marriage only means you can’t break up with this person anymore and if she really loved him she wouldn’t consider a life with him as a prison. I mean this is the person for whom she was willing to give up her entire life! I just don’t get it! And I also don’t think flynn would even propose in front of so many people, in the movie he valued private moments like in the lantern scene or the kingdom dance scene. It just seemed out of character for him just like all the other moments in the series with him where he was just stupid or arrogant even though he seemed rather smart in the movie and his arrogance just seemed like an act. I mean he took the Identity of the flynn rider book character and I always assumed it was just the character who was arrogant and dated many girls and that flynn just acted like him but was different on the inside. In the series they made it look like that was his real personality, not just an act and I hate that. Why can’t the writers look deeper??? And why did they have to give him an ex girlfriend and imply he was a player before??? That ruins the romantic relationship because in real life players can’t settle down with just one girl, they will cheat and break up. And they basically imply that flynn is such a guy in the series. And don’t tell me players can chane, I know someone who has experiences with that and knows that players can’t settle down for good! They completely destroyed the romance by implying Flynn was such a guy before and they destroyed the relationship by having Rapunzel only care about her bff and not the person she supposedly loves and for whom she was willing to sacrifice herself. Ugh, I hate the series!

I remember that can goes to same to Netflix’s Green Eggs and Ham. Because that show was based to Dr Seuss book. The show keep the massage to the based of the book, the massage behind of Green Eggs and Ham is about trying new things. The animation to the show use 2d. The show was does look like Dr Seuss. Sam Am I had a sad backstory or when Guy I Am try to do new thing for his investions. But the show still use the lines to Dr Seuss book. I know that Netflix’s Green Eggs and Ham to the is vary good and best adaptation based Dr Seuss.
