This morning the Disney Channel made a big announcement of a new animated series based of one of its favorite feature films, "Tangled" in 2017. It is being produced by Disney Television Animation and Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi will be reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.
The series will also reunite Disney Legend and Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. The series was developed by animation veterans Chris Sonnenburg (Disney's "Enchanted") and Shane Prigmore ("The Lego Movie").
Gary Marsh, President and Chief Creative Officer of Disney Channel Worldwide, said this about the new animated series. "The genius of the original movie was its seamless blending of cinematic adventure, character-driven comedy, and touching emotion. And we are fortunate to have several of the creative talent from that movie on board with this new production. With the addition of Chris and Shane as executive producers, we have the perfect team in place to create a series worthy of the original film."
The new series will take place between the events of the feature film and the beginning of the 2012 short, "Tangled Ever After," as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom, and the people of Corona. Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny. Rapunzel boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of her father the King, who, after missing out on his daughter's youth, must accept that she is now an independent woman.
All the original and favorite character are returning for the tv series including: Eugene (Flynn), Maximus the horse, the Snuggly Duckling Pub thugs, a new character, Cassandra - a tough as nails handmaiden, and Paschal everyone's favorite chameleon. "Tangled" the tv series is already in production and is set to premiere in 2017.
