Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi Reprise their Roles from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Acclaimed Film Tangled.

The highly anticipated Disney Television Animation animated series Tangled: The Series – based on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ acclaimed feature film “Tangled” – will air tomorrow Monday, October 30th, 5pm KSA Time on the Disney Channel, exclusively on OSN. Reprising their roles are Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as Rapunzel and Eugene (formerly known as Flynn Rider), respectively.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 50th animated feature “Tangled” introduced audiences worldwide to long-locked Rapunzel and charming bandit Flynn Rider in one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told. “Tangled” opened with $68.7 million and went on to earn $200 million domestically and more than $593 million globally, becoming one of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ biggest releases of all time.

Set between the events of the feature film and the start of the 2012 short film, “Tangled Ever After,” the animated series unfolds as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. 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. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey will be Eugene; the plucky chameleon sidekick, Pascal; the no-nonsense horse, Maximus; the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs; and newcomer Cassandra, a tough-as-nails handmaiden, who becomes Rapunzel’s confidant.

Starring alongside Moore, Levi and Espinosa are Julie Bowen (Modern Family) as Rapunzel’s mother, Queen Arianna, and Clancy Brown (Shawshank Redemption) as Rapunzel’s father, King Frederic. The recurring guest voice cast includes Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent) as Snuggly Duckling Pub Thug, Big Nose; Sean Hayes (Will and Grace) as Pete the Guard; Jeremy Jordan (Supergirl) as teen alchemist Varian; comedian Jeff Ross as Pub Thug, Hook Hand’s brother, Hook Foot; Richard Kind (Spin City) as Uncle Monty; Paul F. Tompkins (Comedy Bang! Bang!) as Pub Thug, Shorty; Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul) as Varian’s father, Quirin; Peter MacNicol (Veep) as Nigel the Advisor; Diedrich Bader (American Housewife) as Stan the Guard; M.C. Gainey (Lost) as Captain of the Guards; Laura Benanti (Supergirl) as Lady Caine; Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost) as blacksmith Xavier; Pat Carroll (The Little Mermaid) as Old Lady Crowley; Charles Halford (Rectify) as Pub Thug, Vladimir; Steve Blum (Star Wars Rebels) as Pub Thug, Attila Buckethead; and James Monroe Iglehart (Broadway’s Aladdin) as Eugene’s friend Lance Strongbow.

Produced by Disney Television Animation, Tangled: The Series was developed by animation veterans Chris Sonnenburg (Disney’s Enchanted) and Shane Prigmore (The Lego Movie). Sonnenburg serves as executive producer and supervising director; Benjamin Balistreri (How to Train Your Dragon) is supervising producer; Jase Ricci (Disney XD’s Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero) is story editor; and Alan Bodner (The Iron Giant) is art director.
