Also back is her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. 

Julie Bowen is Rapunzel's mother, Queen Arianna, and Clancy Brown is Rapunzel's father, King Frederic. 

The series introduces newcomer Cassandra (voiced by Broadway's Eden Espinosa), a tough-as-nails lady-in-waiting, who becomes Rapunzel's good friend and confidante. 

The parents have a bigger role: 'I feel like you get to know mom and dad a whole lot better, because family is important,' she said

In the Disney Channel Original Movie, Rapunzel grapples with both the new responsibilities of being 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 Cassandra embark on a secret adventure where they encounter mystical rocks that magically cause Rapunzel's long blonde hair to grow back.

Impossible to break and difficult to hide, Rapunzel must learn to embrace her hair and all that it represents. The series features songs by Academy Award-winning Disney legend Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater.
