There is a reason Tangled: Before Ever After keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Tangled: Before Ever After land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Rapunzel grapples with the responsibilities of being a princess and the overprotective ways of her father. While she wholeheartedly loves Eugene, Rapunzel does not share his immediate desire to get married and settle down within the castle walls. Determined to live life on her own terms, she and her tough-as-nails Lady-in-Waiting Cassandra embark on a secret adventure where they encounter mystical rocks that magically cause Rapunzel's long blonde hair to grow back. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2017. Tangled: Before Ever After earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Tangled: Before Ever After is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Mandy Moore anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
