Tangled Ever After

On Rapunzel Mandy Moore and Eugene Flynn Rider’s wedding day, the castle buzzes with anticipation as the two beloved figures move toward their vows. Pascal and Maximus are chosen as the ring bearers, flitting around the aisle while spreading bright blooms to decorate the path. The moment the priest begins his blessing, a single flower slips loose from the bouquet, and Maximus sniffs it with a curious sniff that ends in a big sneeze. In that split moment, the rings shoot away from the ceremony, vanishing into the whirlwind of the moment and leaving everyone stunned.

The priest pauses, and the crowd falls into a tense hush as the truth sinks in: the rings are missing. The Queen Kari Wahlgren voices the heartbreak and fear that the loss of such heirlooms could unravel the day, while a wary guard warns that the kingdom’s fate might hang in the balance. What follows is a chaotic cascade of dramatic misfires and near-disasters—the kind of spectacle that feels almost unreal, yet is revealed to be a daydream from the perspective of the involved animals, adding a surreal layer to the wedding-day fever.

With more time to spare, the two rings are chased in two separate, frenetic pursuits. One ring lands in a pot of steaming soup, and Pascal dives after it with trademark gusto. When he resurfaces, he stirs up a ruckus at the tables, scattering dishes and diners in his wake, and after a tense scramble he retrieves the ring—only to discover his tongue stuck in an ice sculpture, a comic predicament that keeps the action hopping.

Meanwhile, Maximus charges after the other ring, weaving through racks of dresses, shoes, makeup, and hats. In the chaos, a male horse mistakes the dashing horse for a bride-to-be and attempts courtship, only to be politely but firmly ignored as Maximus presses on. Pascal’s tongue-free escape turns slapstick as he tumbles into a waiter’s foot, knocking loose a chain of events that sends lintels and ice flying through the air like improvised projectiles. The result is a dramatic catapult moment as the ice sculpture, with Maximus perched on it, is sent streaking toward the windows of the ceremony.

The chase continues as Maximus drops into a carriage and keeps pursuing the ring, while Pascal makes another dash and ends up on a girl’s lantern—only to realize the lanterns are hundreds in number, turning a simple retrieval into a dizzying climb among floating lights. Maximus, still focused, grabs the ring but is met with a flurry of frying pans that collide with his snout and face, until a giant frying pan looms in the scene—an absurd, high-energy moment that the townsfolk misread as a gong. The misinterpretation sparks the release of a flock of doves and a cascade of lanterns that fill the night air with soft, fluttering movement.

Pascal, now high above in the rising swirl, locates the ring but finds himself suspended among the lanterns, a precarious perch that keeps him from a clean grab. The carriage carrying Maximus halts briefly and then launches into the sky, tumbling past Pascal in a dramatic, camera-stealing moment. Maximus tumbles through the air, finally landing on a decorative perch as a crowd of doves continues to drift by. The ring finally slips loose and lands on a dove’s foot after a string of near-misses with a wind vane, a fountain, and other festive decorations.

Back on solid ground, the chase leaves a frantic trail: Maximus lands with a thud, and a hook end of the ring’s resting place triggers a sequence in which barrels of juice roll and chase the duo. Cornered by a blaze of flame, Maximus improvises a cunning slingshot from a decoration, hurling Pascal into the air in a last-ditch effort to snatch the second ring. Pascal overshoots the mark and relies on his agile tongue to snatch the prize from midair, completing the two-ring collection.

With both rings finally secured, the pair tumble into a tar-filled factory setting, where the priest completes the ceremony in a most unusual fashion. Pascal and Maximus stand, coated in tar, and present the rings to the faithful. The priest solemnly pronounces them husband and wife, followed by a kiss that radiates relief and celebration through the crowd. Just as the cheers swell, a lighthearted mishap occurs: Maximus accidentally nudges a cake trolley and it rolls away from the castle, adding one final note of wedding-day chaos to an unforgettable, fantastical day.
