Jun 3, 2015 3:57 PM CUT Disney executives know a good thing when they see one, and _Tangled_, the company’s 2010 Rapunzel redux, was a very good thing. The film grossed $593 million globally, and 5 million viewers tuned in to the short sequel _Tangled Ever After_, which premiered on the Disney Channel in 2012; Rapunzel merchandise is among the top-selling products on offer by the Disney Store. Capitalizing on the long-haired princess’ popularity, Disney has announced plans to air a TV show based on the film on the Disney Channel in 2017. The series will take place in between the events of the movie and _Tangled Ever After_, when Rapunzel is getting acquainted with the kingdom from which she was snatched as a baby. Mandy Moore will reprise her voiceover role as the lead, and a team of animation superstars will bring the series to life. Composer Alan Menken, whose resume includes a good portion of Disney’s filmography, will provide the music. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3907308/disney-tangled-animated-series/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3907308/disney-tangled-animated-series/"},"headline":"Disney's Tangled Will Head to Television in a New Animated Series","datePublished":"2015-06-03T15:57:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:41.216Z","description":"Mandy Moore will return as the voice of the Disney princess","url":"https://time.com/3907308/disney-tangled-animated-series/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","movies","Disney","Animation"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c671dad62eace39/698852d15f570f4dc8b1bc7a/tangled.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliza Berman","jobTitle":"Berman is a senior editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/eliza-berman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c671dad62eace39/698852d15f570f4dc8b1bc7a/tangled.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"TANGLED","caption":"TANGLED","creditText":"Disney","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3907308/disney-tangled-animated-series/","name":"Disney's Tangled Will Head to Television in a New Animated Series"}}]}] ```
