Cassandra was given all of the best songs in the series, hands down, so it's a real shame she didn't go out with one last hurrah.
RAPUNZEL'S TANGLED ADVENTURE MOVIE
Yet, all of the songs written for Rapunzel in both the Tangled movie and series have a lack of depth and emotion to them because Rapunzel is such an upbeat character that her songs don't bring out her inner turmoil in the same way that Cassandra and Varian's do. Mandy Moore has the voice of an angel, and I adore her acting and singing alike.
RAPUNZEL'S TANGLED ADVENTURE PLUS
The three songs in Plus Est en Vous were all sung by Rapunzel, which I feel was another mistake. These vague and outdated motivations were the root of the finale's shortcomings. Yet, Rapunzel's motivation to restore her kingdom and relationship with her best friend was easier to understand than Zhan Tiri's vague qualm with the ancient wizard Demanitus or Cassandra's jealousy that Rapunzel was raised by her own abusive mother years before they even met. Each of these three women had her own reason to fight. The series ended with a clash between three incredibly powerful female forces-Rapunzel, who wielded the magic of the Sun Drop flower that was established in the original movie, Cassandra, Rapunzel's lady-in-waiting who used the Sun Drop's opposing force, the Moonstone, and Zhan Tiri, the ultimate evil who was foreshadowed throughout the course of the series to be the final boss. The phrase is French for "There is more in you." Plus Est en Vous strived to prove that all of the women within the Tangled universe have more to give, which we were reminded of at the end of every episode with Natasha Bedingfield's closing theme, "More of Me." It was very important that Rapunzel's mother was the one to give her the journal in order to establish Corona as a matriarchy and demonstrate Rapunzel's lack of need for a man despite being in a happy relationship by choice. Plus Est en Vous was named after the inscription inside the cover of the journal that Rapunzel's mother gave her in the series pilot, Tangled: Before Ever After. It ended on such a powerful cliffhanger that nothing else even stood a chance at living up to the figurative punch in the gut that Cassandra's betrayal impacted on fans everywhere. Destinies Collide, the season two finale of Tangled, was the pinnacle of suspense and emotional storytelling within the series.
In general, I find that shows tend to lose their traction after the second season, which is why many of my favorite shows, such as Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders, ran for two seasons or less. All in all, Plus Est en Vous was a mediocre finale for such a strong series, but that was primarily due to how the third season was dragged out. The show formerly known as Tangled: The Series reached its ultimate conclusion today, neatly tying up loose ends to make way for the "Tangled Ever After" short, where we see Rapunzel and Eugene tie the knot at last. Just something I picked up from Rapunzel." Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a theme that was heavily encoded into the storytelling DNA of Plus Est en Vous, the series finale of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. "I'm not one to walk away from a fight when my friends are in danger, no matter what the odds.
