8	The story happens after ''Tangled'', ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' a.k.a. ''Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure'', and ''Literature/RapunzelAndTheLostLagoon'', and as such is the concluding chapter of Rapunzel's story.

13
14	----
15	!!This work shows examples of:
16
17	* ArtifactTitle: Since Rapunzel now has short hair, the title loses a bit of its meaning.
18	* BigDamnKiss: Downplayed because the camera doesn't zoom in on them during it, but Rapunzel and Eugene exchange a long-expected and long-during kiss, as is usual at weddings, after they are declared married by the cleric, in front of almost the entire kingdom.
19	* BlatantLies: Eugene tells the wedding went exactly according to plan, during his opening speech. Rapunzel quickly calls him out on it. Even if they don't realize the wedding rings nearly were lost, it's very clear they notice ''something'' went wrong when they see how Maximus and Pascal look at the end.
20	* CallBack:
21	** The RunningGag of Tangled, namely Eugene's portrait not being right, is mentioned and happens again.
22	--->'''Eugene:''' Oh ''c'mon''! They ''still'' can't get my nose right?!
23	** The poor musician who was forced to play by having an axe thrown at his head by Hook Hand, is present and the exact same thing happens.
24	** "Commemorative Frying Pans" are being sold as wedding merchandise; Maximus introduced these to the army to use as weapons.
25	** Shorty ''again'' is inappropriately hitting on a woman, this time on the bride at her wedding instead of Mother Gothel.
26	** Hook Hand has fulfilled his dream to become a piano player; now he even plays at the royal wedding.
27	* ChurchOfSaintGenericus: It is not clear which denomination the cleric at the wedding ceremony belongs to. His mitre might hint towards Catholic or Anglican, but it shows Corona's sun symbol instead of a cross or any other known religious symbol.
28	* CloseOnTitle: The title card doesn't appear until after Eugene and Rapunzel are declared husband and wife, [[spoiler:and then Maximus and Pascal have a HereWeGoAgain moment]].
29	* ContinuityNod: Things the short will make you remember that happened in the movie, if you have seen it:
30	** The four identical-looking sisters who braided Rapunzel's hair when she arrived in Corona town are present again, and again this time give a "Squee!" reaction when seeing her (although this time at her dress and the length of it, rather than her hair).
31	** The Stabbington brothers are there, and apparently are reformed now and on friendly terms with Eugene.
32	** An ice sculpture is made of Shorty, whom Rapunzel met in the Snuggly Duckling pub.
33	** A subtle one in that the length of Rapunzel's dress is the same as her hair used to be.
34	** The colour Pascal first, and mostly, chooses [[note]]Remember, HollywoodChameleon / ArtisticLicenceBiology[[/note]] to be when the ceremony still is going well, is pink-purple, just like the dress Rapunzel wore during ''Tangled''.
35	* CoversAlwaysLie: The Stabbington brothers look evil on the poster, giving the impression that they're the antagonists. But nope, they seem to have buried the hatchet with Eugene and appear to be genuinely for him and Rapunzel.
36	* ADayInTheLimelight: {{Team Pet}}s Pascal and Maximus played smaller roles in the original movie and the series, but they're the protagonists of this short, playing bigger roles than the bride and groom the wedding is for. They take the entirety of the short retrieving the rings in time for the wedding.
37	* DenserAndWackier: The amount of slapstick in this short is about what there is in the full movie, but condensed into just a few minutes.
38	* DisasterDominoes: Pascal and Maximus basically destroy the town by setting off the doves.
39	* DisturbedDoves: A group of doves are to be released as part of the celebration; they get set off early and because of the general chaos Maximus and Pascal cause.
40	* FairytaleWeddingDress: Rapunzel wears a slim one, with lots of subtle detailing. And a train about 70 feet long, a CallBack to her former hair.
41	* FryingPanOfDoom: Maximus smashes into a series of "commemorative frying pans," including an oversized one being used as a sign.
42	* GiantWallOfWateryDoom: Maximus and Pascal have to outrun a wave of wine (presumably, there aren't many purple liquids in barrels).
43	* HeirloomEngagementRing: When Maximus loses the wedding rings, he has an ImagineSpot of Queen Arianna leaping to her feet and shrieking that they had been her grandmother's rings. Since this was ultimately just in Max's imagination, it's unknown if the wedding rings that Rapunzel and Eugene wear really did belong to Rapunzel's great-grandparents.
44	* HereWeGoAgain: After spending the entire short getting the rings back after accidentally losing them, [[spoiler:Maximus again loses an important item as he kicks the wedding cake out the door]], implying that they'll have to perform a chase again.
45	* ImagineSpot: Maximus, upon losing the rings, briefly imagines the consequences. [[spoiler:The castle [[StuffBlowingUp explodes]] for some reason, and Queen Arianna yells hysterically.]]
46	* LateArrivalSpoiler: Rapunzel's hair is short and brown, and Flynn's going by his real name.
47	* {{Lost Wedding Ring}}s: The plot is about trying to get them back, and the mess it causes.
48	* ManlyTears: The Stabbington brothers, normally tough and grim criminals, start to cry when Rapunzel and Eugene exchange their rings.
49	* PosthumousNarration: Eugene does it again, this time using the phrase "when my life ended." Immediately subverted when Rapunzel admonishes his description of their wedding, though obviously he's joking.
50	* ShoutOut:
51	** Rapunzel's wedding dress has an incredibly long train, which may both be a ShoutOut to the 25-foot train on Princess Diana's wedding dress and a CallBack to the 70-foot hair that Rapunzel no longer has.
52	*** FridgeBrilliance there, actually. Rapunzel's balance would be out of alignment; she's had 18 years of massive hair and now, with that gone, her balance would be off. The 25-foot train is probably to give her some sort of balance.
53	** The figurines of the soon-to-be-wed Princess being sold on the street at the beginning, feature Rapunzel in the pink/purple dress she wears during the entire WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} movie.
54	** The wave of wine looks a lot like the wave of blood from Creator/StanleyKubrick's version of ''Film/TheShining''.
55	* SuddenlySpeaking: The Queen gets a line, albeit in an ImagineSpot. ("Those were my ''grandmother's'' wedding rings!")
56	* StandardSnippet: The Hook Hand Thug plays Pachelbel's Canon on the church organ, and the ball-and-chain prisoner plays [[LohengrinAndMendelssohn Wagner's wedding march]] on the accordion.
57	* TarAndFeathers: Well, half of it anyway. [[spoiler:After running into several clothing carts and ending up in drag, Maximus and Pascal crash into a tar factory. They return to the wedding covered in tar.]]
58	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Maximus crashes into a series of carts that result in him wearing drag, whereupon he gets hit on by a stallion.
59	* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Pascal gets his tongue stuck to an ice sculpture while trying to catch one of the rings.
60	* WithThisRing: When Maximus accidentally sneezes on them, he and Pascal must retrieve them in a WildGooseChase in time for the wedding, [[HilarityEnsues with much hilarity ensuing]].
