Not bad for a Disney Channel sequel.
'Tangled: Before Ever After' is animated in a similar style to 'The Lion Guard' ('The Lion King' sequel) films. In terms of comparing those two, this 2017 production beats those three follow-ups. It's severely weaker animation, but it does the intended job.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear the same cast involved from the original film, that's always a big positive. Mandy Moore (Rapunzel) and Zachary Levi (Flynn) are fine, while the new additions of Eden Espinosa (Cassandra) and Laura Benanti (Lady Caine) aren't noteworthy at all; very average characters in truth.
I can't hate on this too much though, I'm sure the core target audience will enjoy it and, after all, it is one of Disney better made-for-TV/direct-to-video animated sequels.
