Disney Channel (via Deadline) has announced new cast and details for Tangled: Before Ever After, a new animated series based on their popular animated film Tangled that will debut on the Disney Channel in 2017! 

Three actors reprising voice roles from the film include Jeffrey Tambor as Big Nose and Paul F. Tompkins as Shorty (both Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs), as well as M.C. Gainey as Captain of the Guards.

Newcomers include Ashley Judd as Rapunzel’s mother Queen Arianna, Eden Espinosa as Rapunzel’s handmaiden/friend Cassandra, comic Jeff Ross as Hook Foot, brother of Hand Foot and Richard Kind as Uncle Monty. Also appearing on the show are Sean Hayes, Peter MacNicol, Clancy Brown, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Diedrich Bader, Charles Halford, Steve Blum, James Monroe Iglehart, Jeremy Jordan and Jonathan Banks.

Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi are already set to reprise their roles of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider (nee Eugene), and the show will feature new songs from Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. Clare Keane, daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane (who served as an animation supervisor on Tangled), consulted on the series. 

Also making the leap to the small screen are fan-favorite characters like Rapunzel’s chameleon sidekick Pascal, the uppity horse Maximus, the thugs from the Snuggly Duckling Pub.

The series is set to take place in between events of the feature film and the 2012 short film Tangled Ever After. Apparently there were a lot of adventures that Rapunzel and Eugene got into in the time in-between. We don’t have any details on what the animation style will be, but based on the promotional artwork, Tangled fans will be very, very happy.
