Tangled: Before Ever After is a 2017 American animated musical fantasy television film produced by Disney Television Animation, that premiered on Disney Channel as a Disney Channel Original Movie. It takes place between the original Walt Disney Animation Studios film Tangled and the short Tangled Ever After, and serves as the first episode to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. It was directed by Tom Caulfield and Stephen Sandoval. The film centers around Rapunzel's adjustments to the life of a princess, and the mysterious return of her 70 feet (21 m) of magical, golden hair.
The film premiered on March 10, 2017, on Disney Channel.[1][2][3] It features two new songs, "Life After Happily Ever After" and "Wind in My Hair", from Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, who together wrote the songs for the original film. "Wind in My Hair" would go on to become the opening theme of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure.[4] Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and M. C. Gainey reprise their roles from Tangled as Rapunzel, Eugene Fitzherbert, and the Captain of the Guard, respectively. It is the fourth animated Disney Channel Original Movie following Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama, The Proud Family Movie, and Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension, and the first of them to be based on a Walt Disney Animation Studios film. It is also the second Disney Channel Original Movie based on material from Walt Disney Animation Studios, after the 2015 live-action film Descendants.
The first season will premiere on March 24, two weeks after the debut of the Disney Channel Original Movie Tangled Before Ever After, premiering March 10.
