In an age of prequels, sequels and reboots, I kind of expect most successful films to get at least one of those things. Weirdly, Tangled hasn’t. Yes, it is getting a live-action adaptation, and there was the animated series Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure. However, it has not gotten an animated sequel to go along with the 2010 hit. Now, someone asked a Disney exec if there are any plans to ever make a Tangled 2.
Not long after the live-action Tangled wrapped production, and in the lead-up to the release of Disney’s newest animated project on the 2026 movie schedule, Hexed, Disney Animation’s chief creative officer, Jared Bush, was asked if there have been any discussions about Tangled 2. Here’s how he responded to Collider’s question:
We discuss all kinds of things all the time. I think people would be kind of surprised by the number of discussions we have around, ‘Do we want to return to a world with characters that we really care about?’ It’s all the time for many, many different things. I think it always comes down to: Is there a filmmaker who is passionate and has a story that’s undeniable that we must tell? That usually is how we approach any new story.
