I heard of this short after having read reviews of it right here on IMDb and I spent ages wondering how on Earth I was going to watch it until I looked at the back of my 'Cinderella Diamond Edition' DVD case and saw that the short was included as a bonus feature. I was thrilled about the fact that viewing it was easier than I thought and I enjoyed 'Tangled,' so this film undoubtedly appealed to me, despite Rapunzel having shorter brown hair instead of her long golden locks but it made sense to a certain extent.
This short has several references to 'Tangled' such as the poster designers not getting Eugene's nose right, floating lanterns and Maximus the horse (who was just as funny here as he was in the main film) being hit with frying pans as a nod to Rapunzel hitting Eugene with one. I liked Maximus imagining the kingdom being blown up when he loses the rings as well as Pascal the chameleon's colour changes. Maximus and Pascal's attempts at retrieving the rings were intelligently executed and a right laugh, especially Maximus accidentally dressing in a women's dress, high heels, make-up and a hat only to attract a male horse, Pascal getting his tongue stuck to an ice sculpture and the two of them leaping over the burning chicken to avoid the 'tidal wave' of wine that seemingly extinguishes the fire. I also liked Maximus' shocked expression at the end when Eugene offers Rapunzel and the guests some cake after Maximus unintentionally causes it to roll away.
All in all, this short was well worth watching and it made me laugh a lot on my first viewing. 9/10.
