"Rapunzeltopia" is the forty-fourth episode of Tangled: The Series. It premiered on April 7, 2019, and is the twenty-first episode in the second season.

Plot[]

Rapunzel wakes up and finds herself in Corona with short brown hair and seemingly perfect life as if all the events of the black rocks and Varian never happened. She was confused by this at first, but chooses to accept it.

However, she soon met her long blonde-haired self, formed by her subconscious, who explained that she was under a spell and in order to free herself, she must find the black rocks and touch them. Rapunzel refused at first, not wanting to lose a chance to have a perfect life in her home with her friends and family.

Meanwhile, in the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow, Eugene, Lance, and Cassandra were searching for Rapunzel, having noticed that she's missing. When the team split up, Cassandra heard a voice calling her to an open door and she went in. Eugene and Lance, on the other hand, find Rapunzel behind the door with Zhan Tiri's door handle and tried to help her out of it, only to be stopped by Matthews, who then showed his demon form. Matthews, whose real name was Tromus, explained that his master, Zhan Tiri who is personified by a statue, needs the Sun Drop to have great power and once the magic vines surround Rapunzel completely, she'll be trapped in the dream world forever.

Back in Rapunzel's dream, the princess is enjoying her perfect life and even accepts Eugene's marriage proposal, even though her subconscious warns her against it but after a while, she realizes her mistake (and what her subconscious was talking about) and refuses to put on the crown that will keep her in the dream world forever. To her surprise, Eugene turns into Tromus who, in an attempt to stop her, changes her dream into a nightmare, which includes Cassandra blaming her for her burnt arm, Pascal as a giant monster, and Rapunzel finding herself back in her tower with Mother Gothel. But when Gothel mentions being trapped in her own mind, Rapunzel realizes she has control over her mind and uses her mind power to free herself before hitting Gothel over the head with her frying pan, remarking that she always wanted to do that. Gothel then turns into Tromus, who attempts to reassert his control over her, but Rapunzel merely turns his spell into a cupcake before transporting them to the cliff, where she touches the black rocks at the beginning of her adventures. Tromus tries to stop her, but to no avail, for Rapunzel succeeds in touching the black rocks and wakes up to reality.

As soon as she wakes up, the house started to crumble, the power drained from the Zhan Tiri statue, and Pascal, Eugene and Lance got freed. They all escaped the house, which soon turned into sand. Tromus, before vanishing, vows that it isn't over yet. While Rapunzel was happy and relieved to see her friends again, she wonders what happened to Cassandra. Just then, a door appeared and Cassandra and Owl came out, slightly upset. Rapunzel joyfully hugs her before Cassandra pulls away and suggests they keep going. The team soon continue their journey to the Dark Kingdom.

Trivia[]

  • Susanne Blakeslee replaces Pat Carroll as Old Lady Crowley in this episode for unknown reasons, presumably her age.
  • In some deleted storyboards, Varian was to appear in this episode.
  • This episode repeats the shot from the movie where Rapunzel knocks out Eugene. However, it is Gothel who finds herself on the receiving same blow of Rapunzel's frying pan in this case, as Rapunzel stated she always wanted to do that.
  • The episode's story bears some resemblance to the episode of Batman: The Animated Series "Perchance to Dream". Both involve the protagonist trapped in an idealized fantasy world and initially thinking that they've always lived such a life, only vaguely remembering the truth. And both involve the protagonist being confronted by and briefly fighting another version of themselves. "Perchance to Dream" was in turn based on the Superman comic story "For The Man who Has Everything" by Alan Moore. In both that story and this episode, the hero is restrained by plant life while mentally lost in their dream world.
  • This is the second time a second Rapunzel is shown, after her doubleganger in "Mirror, Mirror", two episodes ago.
