''Tangled: Before Ever After'' (or ''Tangled: The Series'') is an American animated series based on ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''. It is set after the film but before Eugene and Rapunzel's marriage in ''Disney/TangledEverAfter'', and was released in Spring of 2017.
The premise is that Rapunzel is learning about the world and reacquainting herself with her long-lost parents. Her curious nature causes her to go on multiple adventures alongside Eugene, Pascal, the Pub Thugs, and her confidant Cassandra.
''Tangled: Before Ever After'' is the first animated series adaptation of a Franchise/DisneyPrincess affiliated cartoon since ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' in 1993. Likewise, it'll be the first animated series based on a Disney movie since ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'' in 2006. It's also notable for being the second series to be greenlit by Disney as an entire show rather than season by season after ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''.

!!This show provides examples of:
* AlmostKiss: Rapunzel and Eugene are interrupted quite a few times before getting a moment all to themselves in the pilot movie.
* AscendedExtra: Pascal and especially Rapunzel's biological parents were bit characters in the film but are being expanded upon.
* ArtShift: Rather than CGI as in the film, the series will be 2D animated.
* TheCameo: At Rapunzel's coronation, one of the attendees wears the uniform of a [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Weselton]] ambassador. Considering Rapunzel's and Eugene's previous cameo in ''Frozen'', this further hints of a SharedUniverse.
* CanonForeigner: One of the new characters is Cassandra, Rapunzel's lady-in-waiting and the daughter of the captain of the guards.
* CapturedOnPurpose: Lady Kane has her cronies purposely commit crimes and be captured for them so she could then free them from inside the cells inside the palace later.
* ChekhovsGunman: The Duchess of Quintonia is one of the guests Rapunzel has to greet at the beginning of the pilot movie, and leaves after making a snide remark. She returns in the narrative ''much'' later, because she's the infamous Lady Kane in disguise, who was spoken of a lot, but never seen until this moment.
* CompressedHair: After her hair reverts back, Rapunzel tries to hide it under a giant wig and has difficulty balancing because of it.
* CoolHorse: Rapunzel has her own horse named Fidella, whom Maximus is shown to have a crush on.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ever since Rapunzel disappeared, the King cracked down on all vice and crime in the kingdom, even ''petty crooks''. This was a tad overkill, and became Lady Kane's motivation.
* ADogNamedDog: To Rapunzel's surprise, Cassandra's owl is named "Owl". It could be because he is more of a tool for scouting than a pet.
* TheDoorSlamsYou: Lady Kane decides to make her exit once Rapunzel, Eugene, and Cassandra take out her thugs, and chooses to exit through the door the soldiers are currently trying to bash open. Cue said door being knocked down right on top of her.
* DramaticIrony: Fredric decides, at the end of the pilot film, that Rapunzel is no longer allowed to leave the kingdom without his consent, putting her in a similar situation to when she lived back at Mother Gothel's tower. Once again, Rapunzel knows she isn't going to quit.
* DrivingQuestion: What caused those indestructible spikes to form? [[spoiler:Who's the figure that's taken an interest in them?]] The mystery deepens.
* EasilyForgiven: Poked at with Eugene's relationship with Cassandra. While he's respected in the castle as Rapunzel's trusted companion, Cassandra doesn't live down the fact that he was a criminal, and calls him out on how he's looking at his relationship with Rapunzel from a more selfish perspective than he realizes.
* EvilCounterpart: Lady Kane, the villain of the opening film, is this toward Rapunzel; her own father was taken from her as a result of Fredric cracking down on criminals, mirroring how Rapunzel herself was left without her father (or any of her parents) for a majority of her life, being a free spirit, and relies on the same tactic Rapunzel had in the pilot to avoid letting her parents know about her hair to disguise herself, covering her own hair with a huge wig.
* FemmeFatale: Lady Caine, the BigBad of the opening movie.
* ForegoneConclusion: By the end of the series (or sometime after), Rapunzel's hair will lose its magic again, since it's unmagical and cut by the time of ''Tangled Ever After''.
* FreezeFrameBonus: A ship can briefly be seen when the spikes seemingly react to Rapunzel and her hair regrows, [[spoiler:hinting at the figure in TheStinger]].
* GildedCage: Rapunzel is feeling a little stifled at the palace. Her father's protectiveness is a significant part of this.
* GodzillaThreshold: In the pilot, Cassandra actually using her fighting skills and revealing herself to be a secret warrior was seen as an absolute last resort, as this double life of hers is a threat to her position as a lady-in-waiting.
* HairReboot: Rapunzel's hair once again qualifies as RapunzelHair despite getting a haircut during the climax of ''Tangled'', and her new hair, instead of its magnificent healing, is indestructible. Exactly how she regained it isn't known yet, though some kind of magic is involved, which is the driving mystery of the series.
* HeadbuttingHeroes: This is the existing dynamic between Cassandra and Eugene. Cass, being the daughter of the captain of the guard, justifiably has some suspicions regarding a former rogue, especially one so close to the princess and a criminal record longer than Rapunzel's absence.
* {{Interquel}}: Takes place between ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' and ''Disney/TangledEverAfter'', as the name of the pilot movie indicates.
* {{Irony}}: Throughout the pilot movie, King Fredric spends time speaking about threats from outside the kingdom to his daughter, but the whole ordeal has greatly demonstrated that the real danger comes from within, and despite his best efforts to curb it, he woefully underestimated the threat that posed.
* IWantSong: Rapunzel has a new one called "Wind in My Hair," all about her desire to explore the world and its wonders, just as she's wanted her whole life.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Promos refer to Flynn by his secret birth name, Eugene.
* MasterOfDisguise: Lady Kane cleverly disguises herself as a duchess to get into the castle and get closer to the King.
* MeaningfulRename: Flynn Rider has gone back to his birth name, Eugene.
* NighInvulnerable: A year before the series started, unbreakable black rock spikes came out of the ground where the the sun flower was. When Rapunzel touched them, more shot up, and her hair regrew with the same property.
* PainfulRhyme: Acknowledged in-universe as Eugene tries to sing something that rhymes with his surname of 'Fitzherbert'.
* PapaWolf: Frederic, having just found his daughter after over a decade of fruitless searching, is a bit protective of her.
* PosthumousNarration: As is standard for the franchise, the pilot movie plays it for humor. Eugene declares it's the story of how he died...and went to heaven, with Rapunzel objecting to the hyperbolic description of their new life.
* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Rapunzel gives Eugene a frying pan which he uses a shield against one very large thug's sword. When two more thugs show up to surround him, he throws it ComicBook/CaptainAmerica style, somehow bouncing it off their heads to knock all three thugs out.
* RealityEnsues:
** While Rapunzel is a MagneticHero and overall nice person, she has never had proper social interactions with anyone other than Pascal and Mother Gothel for eighteen years, and six months after that, she's only interacted with her parents and Eugene. So, when she meets visiting aristocrats she does some mildly inappropriate things.
** Having spent eighteen years not knowing where his daughter was or if she was even alive can do a number on someone's psyche. King Frederic's over-protectiveness may be overkill but it's not unrealistic given the circumstances.
* {{Revenge}}: Lady Kane's father was a petty thief locked up after Frederic went to town on the kingdom's criminal element, and her attack in the opening movie is based off of revenge for that.
* RoleReprisal:
** Instead of using TheOtherDarrin, Music/MandyMoore and Zachary Levi are reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene again.
** A press release about the show also revealed that M. C. Gainey, Jeffrey Tambor, & Paul F. Tompkins would be reprising their respective roles as the Captain of the Guards, Big Nosed Thug, and Short Thug.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Rapunzel's no less of an ActionGirl since becoming a princess, and it's also revealed that her mother Arianna undertook some dangerous diplomatic ventures in her youth.
* TheStinger: The pilot film ends with [[spoiler:a first-person shot of someone going to the rock the sun flower that empowered Rapunzel originally grew from]].
* StrongerThanTheyLook: Lady Kane is noted as this.
* TomboyPrincess: A large portion of the plot revolves around Rapunzel's boisterous, carefree attitude driving her on adventures.
* TriumphantReprise: Following a bittersweet DarkReprise of "Life After Happily Ever After," Rapunzel sings a determined reprise of "Wind in My Hair" at the ending of the pilot.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: A promo for the series indicates [[spoiler:Mother Gothel will return in some way, but it hasn't spoiled whether that's really her]].
* UnnamedParent: Subverted with Rapunzel's parents, who are finally given names: Frederic and Arianna.
