Yes, those reasons sound more realistic than they having something against Menken. I think it’s probably because of the latter. As we’ve heard it happens with the Oscars, voters don’t take animation categories seriously. Maybe they don’t even listen to all the submitted songs and they just choose one from the most popular shows or the series they know. It’s especially annoying in this case when the songs are so good compared to the nominated ones. At the Oscars this year the songs were all at least more or less worthy of being nominated.

It turns out it was Disney's fault this time for the lack of song nominations due to the erratic schedule Disney Channel is infamous for.

I contacted Glenn Slater on Twitter via DM and he told me that because Disney changed the scheduling of the show during its run — it started with a primetime slot before it was shifted to a daytime one later in the season — only 4 episodes were eligible for this year's Daytime Emmys, none of which had songs in them. The good news is the season 1 finale will be eligible for next year's Daytime Emmys which means either "Set Yourself Free" or "Ready As I'll Ever Be" will have a chance of getting nominated, depending which one they choose to submit. The bad news is the show will no longer be eligible for Primetime Emmys like the pilot was.

OK, thanks for letting us know, Sotiris. I'm glad the songs weren't snubbed again and that there's still a chance for next year's awards. From these two songs, I think they should submit "Set Yourself Free".

I agree. It's the better song. Most people online seem to prefer "Ready As I'll Ever Be" though. We'll see. They should submit both of them, just in case, but considering they only submitted one song from the pilot, I really doubt they'll do that.

Let's hope Sonnenburg's enthusiasm is infectious and the show's music gets more attention next year.

The only decent Cassandra I could find in the Disney Store. The others were all dressed wrong.

I know the designs for this show aren't liked by everyone here, but I'm really glad the show didn't look like that.

The show has been renamed to Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The sudden title change is really odd and unnecessary. The show has officially been renewed for a third season with season 2 debuting on June 24.
Disney Channel has ordered a third season of the Emmy Award-nominated animated adventure comedy "Tangled: The Series," which will premiere its second season with the new title "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure," Sunday, June 24 (8:00 a.m., EDT/PDT), on Disney Channel, the DisneyNOW app and Disney Channel VOD. The series' talented voice cast; including Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as the beloved Rapunzel and Eugene, as well as Eden Espinosa, James Monroe-Iglehart and Jeremy Jordan as fan-favorites Cassandra, Lance and Varian; are set to return. The series features music by Academy Award-winning Disney Legend Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater.

In its debut season, Disney Channel's "Tangled: The Series" was the #1 animated series on cable among Girls 9-14 and reached 40 million Total Viewers, including 8.3 million Kids 6-11 and 7.2 million Tweens 9-14. Season 2 finds Rapunzel venturing outside of the kingdom in search of where the mystical black rocks lead, after discovering she is somehow connected to them. Accompanying Rapunzel on her journey is her partner in life, Eugene; her best friend and confidante, Cassandra; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; no-nonsense and dutiful horse, Maximus; Eugene's best friend, Lance and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. Together, they'll discover new people and places and embark on an incredible new adventure far beyond Corona's walls.

The guest voice cast for season two includes Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Carol Kane ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt") as the mystical traveler Madame Canardist; Lil Rel Howery ("Get Out") as a fast-talking host named Goodberry; Yvonne Strahovski ("Chuck") as Eugene's old love interest Stalyan; Bruce Campbell ("Cars 2") as the bizarrely charming King Edmund; Britt Robertson (ABC's "For the People") as the whip-smart no nonsense teenager Vex; Timothy Dalton ("License to Kill") as inventor and adventurer Demanitus; Katy Mixon (ABC's "American Housewife") as the stunningly beautiful Seraphina; and Kathy Najimy ("Hocus Pocus") as a sprightly and strange resident of the magical forest.

I guess with the change in direction and location they felt they wanted to give it a new title. But yeah its pretty pointless.

I guess they'll have new outfits too.

I'm so excited for the series to continue, as well for the season 3 renewal! rotfl

I don't believe it was a creative decision. I asked the creator, Chris Sonnenburg, on Twitter if the title change was for marketing reasons and while he didn't respond, he liked my tweet which might suggest it wasn't their choice to change the name.

In other news, the season premiere will feature two songs and a reprise (as expected).
Q: Will there be two songs and a reprise in the season premiere like usual?

Glenn Slater: Aww, you've figured out our secret formula! Yup.

I've probably said this before but I would really have preferred they used outlines. The designs themselves look great, it just needs something to hold things together more.

I like the poster, but not the title change. Is it common for TV shows to change it for a new season? I haven't heard of that before.

The new characters sound interesting, especially Eugene's old love interest. The episode where Rapunzel meets her will be interesting to watch.

No, it's not common. The only animated Disney show I know which changed title (not just subtitle) during its run was Miles from Tomorrowland which was renamed to Mission Force One in its third season. I assume that change was made to distance the show from the movie Tomorrowland that had underperformed.

Only show that I can think of right now is Power Rangers. Every season after the third had a new name.

On Disney Channel they have done that before...


Gargoyles became ''Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles''

Hannah Montana's fourth season is called ''Hannah Montana Forever''

JONAS's second season is called ''JONAS L.A.''
