History Trivia / TangledTheSeries

** Sonnenburg has also shown his displeasure over [[EnsembleDarkhorse Varian]] despite his popularity amongst many fans. It all came to a head in a Discord server where he implemented a 'no Varian talk' rule and when a fan stated that Rapunzel should have the main focus, his reply was "You...the REAL fans...are who this show is for." Part of his dislike of the character may have been due to him supplanting his favorite character [[CreatorsPet Cassandra.]]

* Being celebrities themselves, Danna Paola, Chayanne and Irasema Terrazas naturally do not reprise their roles as Rapunzel, Flynn Rider and Mother Gothel respectively in the Latin Spanish dub, instead being replaced by Creator/RominaMarroquinPayro, Creator/JoseGilbertoVilchis and Rebeca Patiño. The former two have begun dubbing them in both the film's trailers and in ''WesternAnimation/TangledEverAfter''.

* IKnewIt:
** Eugene's parentage is [[spoiler:King Edmund, thus making him the Prince of the Dark Kingdom]].
** Cass' recurring association with the moon opposite to Rapunzel's association with the sun will mean something. [[spoiler:She ends up being Rapunzel's moonstone counterpart in the Season 2 finale.]]
** Several people figured as far back as the beginning of Season 1 that [[spoiler: Cass would have a FaceHeelTurn]].
** That someone, a main character, will be Rapunzel's moonstone counterpart. [[spoiler:That person is Cassandra.]]
** That Cass' true parentage is [[spoiler:Gothel. Along with that many assumed that when Rapunzel found out she would say that meant she and Cass were sisters.]]
** Varian breaking out of prison and teaming up with his cellmate, although most expected it to be [[spoiler:Caine]] rather than [[spoiler:Andrew]].
** That the finale would parallel the ending of the movie: [[spoiler:Cass dying, but being revived by the remnants of her and Rapunzel's magic.]]
** Cass [[spoiler:leaving Corona to find her destiny]] in the ending.

** Instead of using TheOtherDarrin, Music/MandyMoore and Zachary Levi are reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene again.

** Donna Murphy also came back to voice Mother Gothel whenever she's appeared.

** Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti did both ''{{Series/Supergirl}}'' and ''{{Theatre/Parade}}'' together.

* TalkingToHimself:
** In "Fitzherbert P.I.", when Eugene gets some work at a shoe shop, the cobbler who he works for is also voiced by Creator/ZacharyLevi.
** Per usual, Dee Bradley Baker voices both animals Pascal and Maximus, as well as Alex the horse.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Zachary Levi (Eugene/Flynn) and Yvonne Strahovski (Stalyan) are good friends in real life, having previously played a couple in ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', which makes their characters' interactions here all the more ironic.
** Richard Kind and Carol Kane would later voice characters together on ''WesternAnimation/BigMouth''.

* NamesTheSame:
** There's another character named Uncle Monty in ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents''.
** "Freebird" is also the name of an episode of ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', and a song by Music/LynyrdSkynyrd.
** ''WesternAnimation/{{Vampirina}}'' also has an episode called "Mirror Mirror" .
** The comics features a kingdom named San Theodoros, which is the name of a fictional country in ‘’{{Franchise/Tintin}}’’.

* AcclaimedFlop: Despite gaining a strong cult following, the series ended up being a massive one due to MUCH lower ratings than anticipated (with ''[[PilotMovie Before Ever After]]'' only scoring 2.9 million viewers compared to ''[[Film.Descendants2 Descendants 2's]]'' 5.3 million that same year) and disapointing toy sales. Declining advertising and merchandising support for the remainder of the run seemed to stem from a continued lack of a strong enough audience to justify the costs, but Disney still committed to the full three season greenlight from the beginning, eventually even giving the show a '''six-disc Blu-Ray set''' exclusive to Disney Movie Club.

* ReferencedBy: Fellow Disney cartoon ''WesternAnimation/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' had a segment in "The Black Vortex, Part 1" where Gamora was transported to a dimension where she was a princess. Each segment was based on other cartoons to reflect the dimension-hopping, with the "Princess Gamora" segment specifically referencing ''Tangled: The Series''. Creator/MercuryFilmworks was brought in to animate the segment.

--> Chris Sonnenburg: [[https://twitter.com/BigPants/status/1119682596739244032 Just because something is GOOD does not make it popular and the fact is, Tangled: The Series does not resonate with the channel’s core audience in the numbers needed for it’s support.]]

* AdoredByTheNetwork: Notable for being the second series to have its entire run greenlit by Disney since ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''. Unfortunately, it ended up being ScrewedByTheNetwork as mentioned below.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: This show hasn't gotten the best treatment by the network. Here are the most notable instances:
** After premiering, the series only aired reruns weekend mornings after Disney Junior, and weekdays at 7:30 am. Premieres moved from Friday nights at 7:30 to ''Sunday nights'' at 7:00 starting with "In Like Flynn", and then to Saturday mornings at 9:30 beginning with "Painter's Block".

** [[PilotMovie "Before Ever After"]] was going to be a standard 44-minute TV movie, but the crew felt the story was too big for the runtime. Thus, they were granted ten extra minutes by the studio after working with the director and editor, giving the feature its unusual 55-minute runtime. This was most likely why the special was marketed as a "Disney Channel Original Movie", while the other hour-long episodes (''Queen for a Day'' and ''Secret of the Sun Drop'') were only advertised as "special events".

* FanNickname:
** After getting her EvilMakeover in Season 3, [[spoiler: Cassandra]] got the nickname "[[spoiler:Moonsandra]]" from fans.
** Rapunzel's transformation when using the hurt incantation has earned the nickname "Dark Rapunzel" by older fans who have pointed out how her design looks very similar to fanarts of an evil Rapunzel. Others have jokingly called her "Emo Raps" due to all the bad emo fanarts and designs by fangirls in various fan pages who would often just badly color Raps hair black, though "Emo Raps" is more commonly used for Rapunzel's grumpy PeekABangs-having self from [[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS1E18NotInTheMood Not in the Mood]].

* CharacterSpecificPages:
** [[Characters/TangledCassandra Cassandra]]
** [[Characters/TangledVarian Varian]]
** [[Characters/TangledZhanTiri Zhan Tiri]]

* OutOfOrder:
** In Season 1, plot-relevant episodes "Queen for a Day" all the way through "Secret of the Sundrop" aired consecutively toward the end of the season. But the episodes' production codes reveal that they were originally intended to be slightly more spaced apart, with "Queen for a Day" and "Painter's Block" coming between "One Angry Princess" and "Pascal's Story", and "Not in the Mood" coming between "Big Brothers of Corona" and "The Wrath of Ruthless Ruth". The change in order [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools worked to the show's advantage]], as it created a much better and exciting sense of forward momentum during the last third of Season 1, devoid of any filler.

* AdvertisedExtra: Some well-known voice actors (such as Lil' Rel Howery and Creator/KharyPayton) were included in press releases despite playing minor roles, whilst actors with larger roles (such as Creator/KellyHu)were omitted entirely. Notably, ''Series/GameOfThrones'' star Tara Fitzgerald was credited as the voice of BigBad Zhan Tiri, despite the fact that she only took over the role in the last episode, with the less famous Jennifer Veal voicing Zhan Tiri for the entire season up to this point.

* IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: Stalyan is voiced by Creator/YvonneStrahovski, who played Sarah, Creator/ZacharyLevi's love interest in ''Series/{{Chuck}}''. Similarly, Lord Demanitus is voiced by Creator/TimothyDalton, who played Volkoff, the main villain of ''Chuck's'' fourth season.
** Zachary Levi and Creator/LauraBenanti (Lady Caine) had previously starred together in the 2016 revival of the musical Theatre/SheLovesMe.
** Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti did both {{Series/Supergirl}} and {{Theatre/Parade}} together.

* FanNickname: After getting her EvilMakeover in Season 3, [[spoiler: Cassandra]] got the nickname "[[spoiler:Moonsandra]]" from fans.

** Likely to be the case with Big Nose due to Jeffrey Tambor's sexual allegations, and how they got him kicked off of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.

** [[Characters/TangledRapunzel Princess Rapunzel]]
** [[Characters/TangledFlynnRider Flynn Rider]]

* {{Jossed}}:
** The names of Rapunzel's parents, "Frederic" and "Arianna", joss their {{Fan Nickname}}s of "Thomas" and "Primrose".
** One theory floating around is that [[spoiler: Adira, the mysterious figure from the season 1 finale]] would betray Rapunzel and company in the season 2 finale. She didn't. [[spoiler:Cassandra did.]]
** A few fans who disliked [[spoiler:Cassandra's]] villain arc thought [[spoiler:she]] would not be redeemed and would instead be KilledOffForReal, with the Aesop that some people are beyond redemption.

* WrittenByCastMember: A few of the Short Cuts shorts were written by Music/MandyMoore and Creator/ZacharyLevi , the voices behind Rapunzel and Eugene.
