They have clearly seen the lights...

The Disney Channel has today announced plans to carry on the tale of Tangled with an animated television show. According to reports, production on the series has already commenced. For those unfamiliar with the tale, Tangled was a big screen Disney take on the classic fairytale Rapunzel, released in 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je4nDvNJXsg Film leads Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi have signed on to reprise their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene/Flynn Rider. The characters were previously revisited in 2012 through short film Tangled Ever After , which ran in cinemas ahead of the 3-D re-release of Beauty and the Beast. The show is slated to premiere in 2017 and will follow the newly-returned Princess Rapunzel as she gets to know her kingdom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bate_tvVUpk According to Disney execs: “Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny. She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of the King who, after missing out on Rapunzel’s youth, must accept that his daughter is now an independent young woman.” Animal sidekicks Pascal and Maximum will also return. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_IEqxp-e0
