Disney Channel has begun production on Tangled, an animated series for kids, tween and families, based on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ acclaimed feature film, with Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene (aka Flynn Rider). The series will premiere in 2017 on Disney Channels around the world, and will also reunite Disney Legend and Academy AwardŽ-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. Tangled, produced by Disney Television Animation, was developed by animation veterans Chris Sonnenburg (Disney’s Enchanted) and Shane Prigmore (The Lego Movie). Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, “The genius of the original movie was its seamless blending of cinematic adventure, character-driven comedy and touching emotion. And we are fortunate to have several of the creative talent from that movie on board with this new production. With the addition of Chris and Shane as executive producers, we have the perfect team in place to create a series worthy of the original film.”
