“Exhausting. It was a rigorous shoot,” Claire said on Today. “And I think Mandy and I had no idea what we’d gotten ourselves into. But by the end of it, we had a real affinity for the water, I think. And we got used to it and loved it. But it was tough.”

There are so many fan theories over Disney and DisneyPixar movies…but none really as famous as the Frozen-Tangled theory.
The theory is that Anna and Elsa’s parents, the King and Queen of Arendelle, were headed to a wedding when they left — and fans, understandably, connected it to Tangled with Eugene and Rapunzels’ nuptials.
It isn’t that far out there. Germany, where the Kingdom of Corona is thought to be based, is just across The North Sea from Norway…which are treacherous waters; not to mention there is a clear family relation (it’s those eyes!).
And, it also explains just why Rapunzel and Eugene were at Elsa’s coronation just three years later. (We know, pretty much every royals from every country was, but still…)
However, Mandy Moore (who voices Rapunzel) isn’t a big fan of the theory though.
“That’s a pretty morbid fan theory,” she says. “It feels like someone really reaching into Lost territory or something… or This Is Us territory.”
She adds, “There is no connection, as far as I know, but I don’t think there’s any connection, no. But sure, people can imagine what they will all day, that’s their prerogative.”

Tangled / Frozen Fan Theory – Mandy Moore Weighs In
JJJ always hoped that we’d have another Tangled movie someday…but we got something better instead — an entire series!
Mandy Moore, who voices Rapunzel, recently dished about why she returned for the project after being a little weary about it.
“I mean, as Tangled the movie came to a close, Rapunzel was happily reuniting with her parents. And then with Disney’s Tangled Ever After short a year or so later, we saw her getting married to Eugene…So it originally seemed — to me, anyway — that there just wasn’t a whole lot of story left to tell,” she revealed.
However, she was convinced to return after seeing there was way more story to tell.
“[Executive producer] Chris [Sonnenburg] put together a very compelling argument that – as Tangled the movie was ending — Rapunzel and Eugene were actually in a pretty precarious position. As a couple, they were really just getting to know one another,” Mandy figured out. “Plus Rapunzel – after all those years of being trapped in that tower – had not only just learned that Mother Gothel wasn’t really her mother, but that her real parents are royalty.”
“Which makes her a Princess. Which means that – someday soon – she’s going to have to rule over this entire kingdom!”
Mandy added, “When Chris put it like that, it really did become clear to myself and Zachary Levi that there was a whole lot more story to tell here. A whole lot more to learn about Rapunzel and Eugene.”
And JJJ is so glad she did!
Tangled: The Series will premiere next Friday, March 24th on Disney Channel.
The two actors, who voiced Rapunzel and Eugene (aka Flynn Rider) in the movie, are back again for the second animated movie, and upcoming series, on Disney Channel.
