Common questions
What order should I watch Tangled and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure?
You should watch the 2010 movie Tangled first. Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure is set chronologically after the events of that film and takes place before the short film Tangled Ever After, making it the second chapter in the narrative sequence.
Is Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure related to the 2002 movie Barbie as Rapunzel?
No, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure is not related to Barbie as Rapunzel. The series is based on the 2010 Disney film Tangled and follows Rapunzel as she adjusts to life in Corona with her parents and the kingdom's people.
How does the story in the 2018 Rapunzel book relate to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure?
The 2018 book Rapunzel serves as an adaptation of the source material. While it shares the central character, it is distinct from the animated series Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, which specifically bridges the gap between the 2010 Tangled film and the short Tangled Ever After.
Does Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure follow the plot of the 2010 Tangled movie?
Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure does not retell the plot of the 2010 movie Tangled. Instead, the series picks up after the events of the film, focusing on Rapunzel as she acquaints herself with her parents and the people of the kingdom of Corona.
