Tangled: Before Ever After

I saw some bad reviews on this earlier so figured i would weigh in

The only thing I did not like like about it was the formulaic singing that Disney seems to do with all their stuff, I believe Disney has some kind of computer program, and anyone who sings, especially women, must adhere to this voice to within 95%, so we always get nice sounding voices with very little range. But no highs or lows, the same sounding voice over and over.

I did not detect any sort of lesbian thing here, the relationship between daughter and Father is strongly emphasized

The animation is weak and will probably be dinged as low budget, but its serviceable

It comes across as a movie targeting girls between K-10 grades, but my wife and i enjoyed it, which is saying something since both of us often avoid Disney, their stuff is pretty redundant

Hopefully the upcoming episodes will be as enjoyable

This mini-film is a great prequel to the Tangled series. I liked it a lot!

This animated film tells the story of princess Rapunzel who is going to be crowned. Due to her mishap, her long blonde hair grows back.

It tells a story of a merry misadventure, which leads to Rapunzel growing and learning about herself. The characters are visually pleasing and the plot is engaging. It is fun to watch.

Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) and Eugene (Zachary Levi) are back. They are back within the castle walls although she yearns for the wider world. She's being welcomed as a princess by her overprotective father King Frederic (Clancy Brown). Eugene proposes to Rapunzel and suddenly, she feels trapped. She sneaks out of the castle with her lady-in-waiting Cassandra and return to the power of the miracle flower.

The animation has the look of a children's book. It serves to launch Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. I thought right from the start that Rapunzel isn't Rapunzel without her hair. It's good to get it back for her and it has a nice twist. This is good Disney TV.

Not bad for a Disney Channel sequel.

'Tangled: Before Ever After' is animated in a similar style to 'The Lion Guard' ('The Lion King' sequel) films. In terms of comparing those two, this 2017 production beats those three follow-ups. It's severely weaker animation, but it does the intended job.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear the same cast involved from the original film, that's always a big positive. Mandy Moore (Rapunzel) and Zachary Levi (Flynn) are fine, while the new additions of Eden Espinosa (Cassandra) and Laura Benanti (Lady Caine) aren't noteworthy at all; very average characters in truth.

I can't hate on this too much though, I'm sure the core target audience will enjoy it and, after all, it is one of Disney better made-for-TV/direct-to-video animated sequels.
