Tangled: Before Ever After: Directed by Tom Caulfield, Stephen Sandoval. With Zachary Levi, Mandy Moore, Eden Espinosa, Clancy Brown. As Rapunzel prepares for her coronation as Princess of Corona, one unforgettable night will change her hair again!

“This pilot film expands on a lot of things, such as Rapunzelu0026#39;s new relationship with her parents and her evolving relationship with Eugene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKing Frederic (Clancy Brown) is not much different from Mother Gothel, but his love for Rapunzel is genuine. Brown is pretty much a perfect casting choice for the King.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe pilot and the series are also the first time I actually like Eugene. I didnu0026#39;t love him in the film. I thought he was just a pretty boy and one of those male Disney characters who teaches the female about the world. In the series, heu0026#39;s shown to be a good boyfriend to Rapunzel, one who supports her even after her hair grows back. Heu0026#39;s pretty similar to Aladdin in this respect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCassandra is a great new character and has a lot of funny lines. For all of her problems, she makes me laugh.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt first I thought that Rapunzelu0026#39;s hair growing back was kind of a gimmick, but it turns out thereu0026#39;s a mystery behind it which sets up the overarching story of the series.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe animation is great. Itu0026#39;s even better looking than the film, with bolder colours and simpler character designs. I never get tired of watching this pilot film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome of the character designs I donu0026#39;t love so much, like the rat-faced guy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, itu0026#39;s a very enjoyable pilot film for a great series.”
