You should really watch Tangled the series. It’s probably the best sequel show from a Disney movie

[@ThBtch]

For everyone curious about the show, it's a genuine plot expansion from the original movie. It's not just some attempt to market the characters further. And it's decently well written too. Might not be as up there as shows like Gravity Falls but it's close and up there still.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

Yeah, and it even fits perfectly into the line at the end of the film talking about Eugene taking years to ask Raps to marry him and sensibly writes out new characters so we don't wonder why they weren't present in the film.

[@Vixen1409]

Give me more love for my favorite princess and her prince SO. MUCH. FLUFF

[@slashermaster28]

Yeah, this is by far Disney's most pleasantly surprising show. It starts off fine, but once it gets to the end of season 1, it becomes amazing. I remember once seeing a list of forgotten cartoons and seeing a few Disney shows on the list, and the creator of said list took a potshot at Tangled referring to it as a cash grab that deserved far less attention than the show on the list. I can guarantee this person didn't actually watch the show. He/she just saw that it was based on a movie and assumed it was made to cash in on it and nothing else.

[@SMSunFlame]

Ikr!! It makes sense! Everything feels more better especially with the ending.

[@ghostsurfer23]

'Ready as I'll Ever Be' was what compelled me to actually check the show out. Bit of a slow burn at the start, but it gets so good.

[@peaceandlove3225]

​@@noone-kk2zsthe point is that the actual villain is Zhan Tiri, not Cassandra. Zhan Tiri acts like a real devil, while Cassandra is a perfect example of a person lead astray by devil's temptation. I can notice here Christian vibes. That's why I love this plot line very hard.

DUDE ARE U JOKING. im not done with the show yet but when it started i was so confused like "are we supposed to just assume who all these new people are and what happened at the rocks?" OMG

[@Fycoren]

The reason Varian (the boy in the first villain song) is telling Cassandra (the girl) to not "become a villain" is because he was one (in the later song), he's trying to tell Cass to not make the same mistake

[@TheCanderemy]

Fun Fact: _THE_ Alan Menken wrote and composed all the music for the series! Also, the art style is done in the style of Rapunzel's paintings, as the story is told through the paintings in her journal. For a part 2, I'd recommend: Waiting in the Wings Set Yourself Free Everything I Ever Thought I Knew With You By My Side Crossing the Line Let Me Make You Proud Here's a playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLknvZvpKpMhPvAf7JqLmRWY0g15KFmaY8

[@sierramike3322]

I was just about to post the same thing they are soooooo good

[@Commenter839]

Just to add, Lance's VA (James Monroe Inglehart) was also on Broadway (Aladdin and Hamilton). Real shame Lance didn't get to sing more, but his one song was pretty great!

[@ShiningStarlight101]

the context for why the girl (cassandra) seems like the villain and the boy (varian) seems like a hero in one song and the roles reverse in another is because in the show they switch sides lol (the second villain song takes place 2 seasons before the first villain song tho)

[@kokitrees7394]

Fun fact: There was a proposed Varian (kid with the blue hair stripe) spinoff called Varian and the Seven Kingdoms where he'd go on a journey of his own to complete his mother's research. It had a cool steampunk-ish vibe with some of the characters, an amazing concept, awesome character designs, and a cool storyline. It was rejected because they thought it wouldn't be as popular without Rapunzel/they didn't want to make something part of a Disney Princess's universe where the princess wasn't in it. They offered to make the show without Varian as the main character, but the animators thought it wouldn't have the same spirit as their idea. But you can still look at the concept sketches and all the info about the characters on the Varian and the Seven Kingdoms Wiki

[@moogleydoot]

this makes me so sad, varian was the reason i watched the show

[@0ooo0oo0o3]

we could’ve had it all 🚶‍♂️

[@instantramen15]

It was rejected due to the connection to Rapunzel not the lack of popularity of it. The producers basically liked the idea but wanted it separate from Rapunzel. It wouldnt be the same without Rapunzel and the creators basically declined to do it without Rapunzel and was rejected for that reason.

oh boy your guess of the plot of queen for a day is EXTREMELY accurate, most people think it's the darkest episode of the series

[@warriorcatkitty]

That episode is one of my favorites, but at the same time it freaking broke my heart... Mostly because of Varian. I just felt so bad for him-

[@henriquecarballoaranha9100]

Aaah yes. The episode where Rapunzel's parents almost die because Satan decided to create a deadly blizzard, all the while a young alchemist accidentally encases his father in amber completely, so its all up to Rapunzel to solve all of the Kingdom's problems because she is presumably an orphan and thus the new queen

[@kawaiiemolga]

For real! When I started watching it I knew it was gonna have some dark/sad stuff, cause I saw some pics of Rapunzel using the moon stone enchantment and I listened to Waiting in the wings, that was the reason I started watching the show, such a beautiful song, but this episode hit so hard! I felt so bad for Rapunzel and Varian at the end

[@henriquecarballoaranha9100]

There is actually an in-universe reason for the 2D Hand Drawn art style change! If you remember in the movie, one of Rapunzel's hobbies was being an artist. The show is essentially in Rapunzel's art style and it is played as if Rapunzel herself was telling the story through a personal diary. You even see her writing and drawing abou her journeys on this diary during some episodes and its also present in the intro!

[@hassansulaiman3848]

Yeah

[@goldenbunny7743]

Also the ending of Season 3 it shows the book closing... so yeah

[@CrystalKitty1220]

I think I should clarify that these songs in chronological order would be 1: Queen for a Day 2: Ready As I'll Ever Be 3: Waiting in the Wings 4: Nothing Left to Lose it clears up the story a little (my personal favorite songs from the series are I Will Make You Proud and the reprise, which both take place at the same time as Queen for a Day)

[@CJCroen1393]

Young Cass and adult Cass’ song breaks me because of one part in particular: “I craved so much And yet I kept on waiting One glance, one touch And still I kept on waiting _And when it came, it came with strings.”_ They very accurately captured the mentality of a narcissistic parent, and how their behavior effects their victims.

[@the_UF365]

This series is the best movie to show adaptation I've seen in my lifetime. It expands the lore of the universe, introduces new characters I can't get enough of, makes Rapunzel and Eugene the best developed couple in the entirety of the Disney canon, and the songs slap hard. Fun fact, the original incarnation of Waiting In the Wings earned composer Alan Menken his first Emmy, earning him his EGOT status.

[@graciandhercats]

Had to come rewatch this after watching the second reaction- there are Important songs here

[@Cygnusart0843]

9:47 he was a villain. ‘Ready as I’ll ever be’ takes place before ‘Nothing left to lose’. He kidnapped the queen.

[@Novammae]

Just for context, the girl in waiting in the wings (Cass) starts off as a main good character and the short guy with a hairstripe (Varian) as a villain in ready as i'll ever be, but then he gets a redemption arc and becomes good, while she discovers that she is gothel's daughter (as she wasnt aware before) and becomes evil, as you guessed. nothing left to lose is varian trying to convince Cass to "not be a villain", as he has experience. Queen for a day is more of a fun song, tho the episode gets more serious

[@saiyasha848]

For Context, "Ready as I'll ever be" is way before "Nothing left to lose". That is why he is trying to talk Cassandra down. He _knows_ what it is like to be a Vilain, he understands and he is trying to prevent her from going full tilt. Remember her lyrics? "You lost your nerve, you lost the game, but you and I are not the same"

[@kierranodel9158]

Jeremy Jordan (the voice for Varian, the black haired boy) is God tier vocals. You should watch one of his other big songs in this show “Let Me Make You Proud”!

The plot and characters and story and EVERYTHING, is just so amazing, I was very shocked when I watched it and found out how good it really is. It's my favorite cartoon atm.

[@echotheloco]

Agh! Varian (the kid in the second clip) is SUCH a good character! His voice actor is the main character in Newsies as well

[@zb5481]

One of the reasons Varian (the teen boy)'s voice sounds so good is because he's actually played by broadway actor Jeremy Jordan! Also, the reason he was telling Cass to stand down/give up in Nothing Left To Lose is because he was the first one to turn his back against Rapunzel and all it did was make everything worse for himself and he doesn't want that to happen to her. (Imo she got let off too easy and her motivation was sorta meh but what can ya do?)

"Really as I'll ever be" will always be my favorite! This song happened before Nothing left to loose. Basically in the first song (Ready as I'll ever be) Varian, the boy, is the villain. Here, he kidnapped the queen so he could trap Rapunzel and uses her hair to the save his dad who is in this yellow rock. He is angry at Rapunzel because she couldn't help him when his dad was getting stuck, and he interpreted it as betrayal, and feels guilty for not being there when his dad got like this.

[@silversamurai0267]

As far as the villain stories go, Ready as I'll Ever Be came first, then Waiting in the Wings and then Nothing Left to Lose. You watched them backwards. 🤣 (That's why the guy is trying to convince the woman to stop being evil in the first song. He's been where she's been already and can relate.)

[@mistmistly4750]

YES i love this show and the songs are so good. Everything I Ever Thought I Knew and Waiting in the Wings are such good songs, too.

Other than the first one, these were watched in backwards order. The first song played before the rest of this, but then it was Ready as I'll ever be, than waiting in the wings, then a song that was missed crossing the line THEN finally nothing left to lose. Nothing left to lose hints at it Varion is a villain at one point and Cass is a hero to start, they swap at one point and nothing left to lose is Varion basically going "i've been where you are"

[@sarahmilne8480]

Nothing Left to Lose ⚡| Music Video | Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure | Disney Channel

[@SunBeeSmoked]

The double meaning of Cass having nothing left to lose. She’s putting on a front that she can’t lose anymore but the way she somberly sings at the very end of the song emphasizes that she has nothing, the music and her voice tells us this is sad for her, she’s hurting, and she’s feels like she’s lost everything. I actually used a lot of Cass’ songs to help me cope with my abusive family and finally escaping from them. Nothing left to lose, waiting in the wings, crossing the line, became huge comfort songs that empowered me and they don’t really scream “villain” other than nothing left to lose which is still more nuanced. She’s being manipulated, she hurting, she feels like she’s lost everything long before this happened. Waiting in the wings became about me being desperate for my family to help me and never listening to me and about their favoritism towards my twin sister and all of my other siblings. Crossing the line became about me no longer tolerating the mistreatment from my family and when I was finally able to get free from them when my sister punched and thrashed me around the kitchen and I called the cops and moved in with my boyfriend who I’ve now been with for two years. Nothing left to lose became about how my family paints me to be the villain because I called the cops on my sister, how heartbroken I was to realize for the last time that my family isn’t safe and would never protect me, how I felt like I lost everything and how I can build a new life without them and become the person I really want to me. I love art and music. I want to have passions again. Maybe its silly to interpret songs from a kids cartoon so deeply and to use them to cope and use them for empowerment but it comforts me. The most recently I’ve heard from my family was a group chat my estranged dad made asking for money to buy his mom a dishwasher. Which like nice whatever but after months of no contact with maybe 5 whole interactions in the past 2 years seems a bit inappropriate to ask me for money after abusing me out of the family. But of course if I ever mentioned how I felt about it I’d get called emotionally manipulative and overreactive and made out to be the villain.

I’m so sorry that all happening to you. And I’m glad you got out of that toxic environment. Even songs for kid shows can be relatable for adults as well. You can experience anything at any age.

The art style is definitely different from the movie and it is a bit strange at first but you eventually get used to it. They do a great job at using that type of animation as well

[@sydneylyman8778]

The BEST Tangled series songs in my opinion that really show off the vocals are the original Waiting in the Wings and Let Me Make You Proud. Notable faves are Everything I Ever Thought I Knew and Crossing the Line.

You've _gotta_ do more! This show has some of my favorite cartoon songs ever and more people should listen to them

[@writingthefutureoutloud]

Fun Fact! Cassandra (short black/blue hair) is voiced by Eden Espinoza, (She’s played various Broadway roles, like Elphba in Wicked!) and Varian, (kid with the blue streak) is voiced by Jeremy Jordon! he’s super famous on the broadway scene and has done LOADS of stuff, (Newsies, Waitress)!

[@tommyherrick8220]

This is such a good show. If you want to check it out it is on Disney+ and if you like it you can get the complete series on Blu-ray through the Disney movie club

[@kurikuri6683]

YES, thank you!!!! Hopefully you'll react to other songs from this series as well :) My favorites are "Crossing the line", "Next stop anywhere", "Listen up", "Through it all" and "View from up here"

[@hannaho1817]

i know im 4 months late but... Make a part 2!!! I have a ton of favs from this show (most of which you just listened to) and I'd love to see your reaction on all the other cool songs from this series too (like Waiting in the Wings [not reprise] and Crossing the Line and so much more!)

[@Fuzunga]

I watched this show at the beginning of this year and it's really great. The music in the was by the same composers as the movie, and I think definitely would have won some awards if wasn't in a cartoon show.

[@kellymacias7340]

You got to listen to the other version of waiting in the wings Omg just thinking about the beautiful high note and note change is making me excited

[@anyamccullough2844]

This show is one of my favorites and so underrated! The music is amazing (because of course, Alan Menken) and it's such a cool continuation of the story! Also you should totally do a part 2! Listen Up is a very good one, as are many that have already been mentioned in other comments!

[@KatsCookie5678]

6:45 I love how he was just shown one of the BIGGEST twists in the series lol.

[@AlliVeraa]

I love this show so much!!! Love everything about tangled in general 😂❤️ Glad you reacted to them and liked them!

[@christinaozana9338]

I would love a part 2! Wither and Decay is one of my favorites. Waiting is the Wings (full song) is excellent. Thank you for accepting this ridiculous request. It was awesome.

[@awkwardotter8793]

I would love it if you made a part two of this there are so many other great songs you could do on this show

[@thesiimp]

I seriously recommend listening to the Ride The Cyclone musical. I was recently introduced to it and it immediately caught my attention. Some of my favorite songs include The Uranium Suite and Ballad of Jane Doe. It seriously need more recognition.

[@AngelLikesArt]

If anyone is here watching/rewatching he just put out a second part of reacting to more songs!!

[@skunky1018]

Rewatching!!!❤

[@lenathefirst_4574]

I absolutely love this show, the music is amazing and the show has a great plot that appeals to kids but also interested me a whole lot and made me want to keep watching. Every song is so great and the characters both original to the series and from the movie are all so awesome! Definitely do recommend it, and having the full context for each song makes them even cooler the second time around, the music is what made me originally want to watch the show and it was a great experience hearing them again in context (: Edit: I love the order you listened to these in, it’s so backwards and that’s great 😂 the waiting in the wings reprise made me tear up too it’s such a sad song and her singing with her younger self was just so good.

[@livywithane]

My favorite song from that series was definitely “Let Me Make You Proud” I cried every time I listened to it. And when I finally watched it last year I shed many great tears.😭

[@foxy_the_pirate_fox2827]

I really love your videos! The whole time I was waiting for my favourite "Ready as I'll ever be" and when it came on I was like YESSSS!

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction! Some of those songs are so good!
