RAPUNZEL SWINGS INTO ACTION WITH THE PREMIERE OF THE

'TANGLED: THE SERIES,' ON FRIDAY, MARCH 24
Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi Reprise their Roles
From Walt Disney Animation Studios' Acclaimed Film 'Tangled'
KINGDOM OF CORONA -- Set between the stories told in Walt Disney Animation Studios' acclaimed film "Tangled" and its short film "Tangled Ever After," the Disney Channel Original Movie "Tangled Before Ever After" makes its debut on FRIDAY, MARCH 10 (8:00 p.m. EST) leading to the highly anticipated premiere of "Tangled: The Series" on FRIDAY, MARCH 24 (7:30 p.m. EDT). Reprising their roles are Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as Rapunzel and Eugene (formerly known as Flynn Rider), respectively.
The visually vibrant animated adventure/comedy movie and series unfold as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity lead her to realize that there is so much more she needs to learn about the world and herself before she can assume her role as Princess of Corona. Beloved characters from the feature film accompany Rapunzel on her journey, including her partner in life Eugene; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. The series introduces newcomer Cassandra (voiced by Broadway's Eden Espinosa), a tough-as-nails lady-in-waiting, who becomes Rapunzel's good friend and confidante.
Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi on "Tangled: The Series"
In the Disney Channel Original Movie, Rapunzel grapples with both the new responsibilities of being princess and the overprotective ways of her father. While she wholeheartedly loves Eugene, Rapunzel does not share his immediate desire to get married and settle down within the castle walls. Determined to live life on her own terms, she and Cassandra embark on a secret adventure where they encounter mystical rocks that magically cause Rapunzel's long blonde hair to grow back. Impossible to break and difficult to hide, Rapunzel must learn to embrace her hair and all that it represents.
"Tangled Before Ever After" will be available on the Disney Channel app and Disney Channel VOD platforms beginning Friday, March 10. "Tangled: The Series" will be available beginning Friday, March 24.
