I genuinely wish I could understand why Tangled doesn't have the popularity it deserves.
Fan of the movie? Guess what, same cast! Same songwriters, too! As well as an intense story that extends the lore of the movie! Ever wonder why the flower responded to a song? Show expands on it. How did Gothel know about it? Show expands on it. And the question of their life between the movie and marriage? Guess when the show takes place!
Fan of modern animation? Fantastic animation with an adorable style. Every episode has fantastic scenery, gut-wrenching expressions and just an overall fun style!
Fan of musicals? James Monroe Inglehart, Eden Espinosa and Jeremy Jordan. And if you aren't familiar with musical actors but still want some fun new songs, this show has them for everything. Fun and exciting songs? Wind in My Hair, Next Stop Anywhere, Stronger than Ever Before, Buddy Song. Emotional solos? Make You Proud, Waiting in the Wings, Everything I Ever Thought I Knew. Triumphant songs that make you wonder if the "villain" is really even a villain? Ready as I'll Ever Be, Crossing the Line.
Look, it just annoys me that there's such a huge fandom for Tangled, but the vast majority of them cast the show aside. You ask for a Tangled 2, and here it is, right in front of you. If you're on the fence, considering watching it but not sure? Let this be your deciding factor. The team works so hard on the show only for Disney to repeatedly fuck it over, and they deserve better than this.
I know this is kinda old, and I made an entire video on youtube about it, but lets focus on stuff that I dont like about the show, and that could be a reason why some people also dont:
First of all, and the most important thing: Eugene.
Eugene is a great character, but he and his relationship with Rapunzel has been cast aside by the show for two characters that movie watchers are just not interested in: Varian and Cass. WAIT. I LOVE VARIAN AND CASS, and I know that many people watch the show only for Varian, so it is actually good that he is in there, but as a movie person you dont care.
As a person coming from the movie, you want to see Raps and Eugene content, not two new characters. And please. No one in his right mind can deny that Eugene has been complete ignored by the writers. He got DPE. Thats awesome. But it has been totally overshadowed by Cassandras betrayal, and after Destinies Collide is has almost been never brought up again. I am not gonna lie, but at least 1/4th of the entire movie fanbase was in the fanbase because they had a crush on Eugene. Me kinda included.
Another thing that bothers me with the show is this weird addition of random magic. The only magic in the movie was the hair, and now we have time travel, amnesia wands, robots, ghosts, demons and so much more, mostly for the sake of Filler episodes. Let that sink in: The added TIME TRAVEL, for a filler episode. (I love the episode but couldnt it have been something else? Time travel doesnt make any sense xd)
And one thing that can be annoying for movie watchers is this gigantic Varian fanbase. I have nothing against Varian fans, but I get it when a movie watcher loses their mind when there are actually people complaining that Varian is not in the movie.
I love the show for many other things but these are some things that many people coming from the movie dont like.
