Recap / Tangled: The Series S2E08 "King Pascal"

Go To

Tiny islanders the Lorbs mistake Pascal for their mystical ruler; the chameleon loves the adulation, until he's expected to protect his people from a vicious monster.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: Rapunzel wasn't successful in hiding how spicy the peppers are.
  • Continuity Nod: Turns out that the lanterns launched into the air on Rapunzel's birthday all wind up on the Lorb's island. The Lorbs think it was sent by their destined hero (whom they think is Pascal).
  • God Guise: The Lorbs mistake Pascal for their god.
  • Fire-Breathing Diner: The firefly was breathing fire because it was eating hot peppers.
  • Mistaken Identity: When Rapunzel and friends are shipwrecked on the tropical island of Tarabi, Pascal is mistaken for King Lizardus whom he strongly resembles, Lizardus being a legendary hero to the Lorbs, a bunch of living, talking leaves, who give Pascal the royal treatment.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • When the Lorbs create sculptures of Pascal, Rapunzel and Cassandra, Rapunzel complains about how they made her nose bigger than it really is similar to Eugene's wanted posters.
    • The Lorbs speak in pseudo-German accents, which nods to how the original fairy tale originated in Germany.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The firefly isn't maliciously destroying the crops, it's merely hungry and the spicy peppers are making it ornery and causing it to breathe fire.
  • Robinsonade: The gang is shipwrecked on an island after a storm and have to find food and shelter.
  • Wacky Wayside Tribe: The Lorbs, who are walking and talking leaf creatures. Right now they are a minor diversion to the main quest as the group is stranded on an island.
