RAPUNZEL SWINGS INTO ACTION WITH THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT OF
'TANGLED: THE SERIES,' ON SUNDAY, MAY 21 ON DISNEY CHANNEL IN SOUTHEAST
ASIA
Take part in The Tangled Quest from 21 May to 30 June to win exclusive “Tangled: the Series” prizes!
Rapunzel lets down her hair in Disney Channel’s
brand new animated series “Tangled: The Series”! Premiering Sunday, May
21 at 11:30AM on Astro Ch 615, the series is set between the stories
told in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ acclaimed 2010 film “Tangled” and
its short film “Tangled Ever After”. The series will see Mandy Moore
and Zachary Levi reprising their roles as Rapunzel and Eugene
respectively.
With a new visually vibrant animation style
inspired by Rapunzel’s drawings in the original film, the show follows
Rapunzel on her adventures as she acquaints herself with her parents,
her kingdom, and the people of Corona. Along the way, her irrepressible
spirit and natural curiosity about the world lead her to realize that
there is so much more she needs to learn before she can accept her royal
destiny as Princess of Corona.
At the heart of the
series is Rapunzel’s relationship with her friends and family. Beloved
characters from the feature film accompany Rapunzel on her journey,
including love interest Eugene Fitzherbert (aka Flynn Rider); her loyal
chameleon sidekick, Pascal; her no-nonsense, dutiful horse, Maximus; and
the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. The series will introduce Cassandra
(voiced by Eden Espinosa), a tough-as-nails lady-in-waiting who becomes
Rapunzel's confidante; and builds on her relationship with her parents,
King Frederic (Clancy Brown) and Queen Arianna (Julie Bowen).
Rapunzel's
relatable, heartfelt and comedic stories model the importance of
building and nurturing relationships, and of exploration and
self-discovery. With her strength, confidence, positive disposition and
creativity, she is a role model for young viewers who are learning to
take on new responsibilities just as she is.
To
celebrate Rapunzel’s grand return across Southeast Asia, Disney Channel
presents the multi-platform character hunt Tangled Quest. From 21 May to
30 June, kids and families can take part by snapping a picture of
Rapunzel, Eugene, Maximus or Pascal with the Tangled Quest insignia on
Disney Channel and Disney-owned social platforms and upload it on the
Tangled Quest website (
www.tangledquest.com). Eighty (80) lucky winners
will stand a chance to win exclusive Tangled-themed goody bags.
The
Tangled Quest will come to life in Malaysia, where Disney Channel fans
can join in the fun to spot the characters at various on-ground pop-up
activities across Kuala Lumpur. Locations will be revealed through
weekly clues on Disney Channel and Astro Circle platforms, so stay
tuned! In addition to Tangled-themed goody bags, three lucky winners
will get to bring Rapunzel’s adventures home with a full scale
Tangled-themed bedroom makeover.
The series features songs
produced by Academy Award-winning Disney Legend Alan Menken, who also
composed the songs from the feature film.
