'''''Tangled: The Series''''' (later re-titled to '''''Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure''''') is a [[Disney Television Animation|Disney Television Animated]] series, based on [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]]' acclaimed feature [[Tangled|film of the same name]]. The series ran from [[March 24]], 2017 to [[March 1]], [[2020]] on [[Disney Channel]]s around the world, with [[Mandy Moore]] and [[Zachary Levi]] reprising their roles as [[Rapunzel]] and [[Flynn Rider|Eugene]].

==Synopsis==
Set between the events of the feature film and the start of ''[[Tangled Ever After]]'', the animated series unfolds 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. She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of the [[King Frederic|King]] who, after missing out on Rapunzel's youth, must accept that his daughter is now an independent young woman. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey will be [[Flynn Rider|Eugene]]; the plucky chameleon sidekick, [[Pascal]]; the no-nonsense horse, [[Maximus]]; [[The Snuggly Duckling]] [[Pub Thugs]]; and newcomer [[Cassandra (Tangled)|Cassandra]], a tough-as-nails handmaiden, who becomes Rapunzel's confidant.

Season Two finds Rapunzel venturing outside of the kingdom in search of where the mystical 
[[Black Rocks]] lead, after discovering she is somehow connected to them. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey is her partner in life, Eugene; her best friend and confidante, Cassandra; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; Eugene’s best friend, Lance and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. Together, they will discover new people and places and embark on an incredible new adventure far beyond Corona’s walls.

In the [[Rapunzel's Return|season three premiere]], Rapunzel returns to the kingdom of Corona only to find that it has been taken over by an old enemy. Still reeling from Cassandra’s betrayal, Rapunzel must use her inner strength to save Corona and its people, including her parents, King Frederic and Queen Arianna. Sticking by her side is her partner in life, Eugene; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; and Eugene’s best friend, Lance.

==Trivia==
*It is the fourteenth television series to be based on a Disney animated feature, after ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', ''[[The Little Mermaid (TV series)|The Little Mermaid]]'', ''[[Aladdin (TV series)|Aladdin]]'', ''[[Timon & Pumbaa]]'', ''[[Jungle Cubs]]'', ''[[101 Dalmatians: The Series]]'', ''[[Hercules (TV series)|Hercules]]'', ''[[The Legend of Tarzan]]'', ''[[Lilo & Stitch: The Series]]'', ''[[The Emperor's New School]]'', ''[[Jake and the Never Land Pirates]]'', ''[[The 7D]]'' and ''[[The Lion Guard]]''.
**This is also the third television series since [[1994]] to be based on a movie featuring a [[Disney Princess]]. The first two were ''The Little Mermaid'' and ''Aladdin''.
*This is the second series to be greenlit by Disney for an entire series after ''[[Star Wars Rebels]]''.
*The show was originally scheduled to premiere in June [[2017]] but was moved up to March.
*[[Rapunzel's Journal]] was inspired by executive producer [[Chris Sonnenburg]]'s daughter's journal. His daughter, Arianna, also gave [[Queen Arianna]] her name.<ref name="Tumblr 2">{{Cite web|url=http://forever-tangledup.tumblr.com/post/158747478762/look-at-these-adorable-tangled-the-series-fun|title=ForeverTangledUp Post|website=Tumblr|date=March 23. 2017}}</ref>
*The style of the animated series is primarily based off of Rapunzel's own artistic style from the film.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/DisneyTVA/status/886646710558130176|title=Disney TVA News‏ post|website=Twitter|date=July 16, 2017}}</ref>
*Starting with season two, the series was renamed ''Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure''.
*One of the animation styles in the ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (TV series)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' episode, "[[Black Vortex|Black Vortex, Part One]]", is the same one used by ''Tangled: The Series''.
*The third season was stopped for a bit after the 10th episode.
*Storyboard artists for the series, Kaitlyn Ritter and Anna Lencioni, pitched an idea for a comic spin-off focusing on Varian titled ''Varian and the Seven Kingdoms'', which saw Varian teaming up with new friends to discover the seven alchemical transformations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kritterart.tumblr.com/post/615411509542223872|title=Tumblr Post|website=Tumblr|last=Ritter|first=Kaitlyn|date=April 14, 2020}}</ref> According to Ritter, while Disney was enthusiastic with the project and even received support and encouragement, they ultimately passed as they felt that a series that focused on a Rapunzel-related character without Rapunzel would be risky. Disney even suggested changing Varian to a completely original character so as to be an original brand, but Ritter and Lencioni refused.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lla_gg-ligk|title=Kaitlyn Ritter Talks Directing Monsters At Work: Following Dreams|website=YouTube|publisher=Wotso's Magical World|date=July 20, 2020}}</ref>
