It will be developed by executive producer Chris Sonnenburg (Enchanted), who will also be a supervising director for the animated series. Shane Prigmore from 'The Lego Movie,' is the co-executive producer and creative director.
“The genius of the original movie was its seamless blending of cinematic adventure, character-driven comedy and touching emotion. And we are fortunate to have several of the creative talent from that movie on board with this new production,” commented Gary Marsh, president and CCO of Disney Channels Worldwide.
“With the addition of Chris and Shane as executive producers, we have the perfect team in place to create a series worthy of the original film,” he added.
The Tangled series is the latest step in the Disney franchise, following its huge box office success. It earned $200 million domestically and over $593 million globally. The original song “I See the Light,” recorded by Moore and Levi, also won a Grammy Award.
