Tangled: Before Ever After isn’t just a random sequel—it’s actually the official kickoff to Tangled: The Series (later known as Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure), and honestly? It’s seriously underrated. If you loved Tangled (and who didn’t?), this TV movie gives you more Rapunzel magic, more Flynn charm, and yep—her magical blonde hair is back!
Set between the original film and the short Tangled Ever After, this story dives into what happens when Rapunzel realizes that palace life isn’t the end of the journey. She’s got questions, curiosity, and that classic free spirit—and that makes her super relatable. Being a princess isn’t just about gowns and tiaras—it’s about finding yourself and your purpose.
The animation style takes a 2D, more stylized turn, but it quickly grows on you. It matches the tone of the story—more introspective, adventurous, and character-driven. We also meet Cassandra, Rapunzel’s tough-as-nails lady-in-waiting who becomes a major part of her journey. Their friendship adds depth and conflict in just the right doses.
There’s plenty to love here—mysterious black rocks with magical properties, Rapunzel’s internal struggle with royal expectations, and, of course, Eugene (Flynn) still bringing the laughs. The movie adds real stakes, emotion, and a sense of expansion to the Tangled world that fans didn’t know they needed.
Tangled: Before Ever After isn’t just fluff—it’s a thoughtful, exciting, and heartwarming bridge to a much bigger story. If you ever wondered what comes after “the end,” this is your answer. The adventure has only just begun. 🌟🌿
