Tangled Before Ever After, a Disney Channel Original Movie

Disney

Last month, the beloved Rapunzel and friends delighted their fans with a special Tangled takeover on Disney Channel Canada. After the television premiere of Walt Disney Animation Studios' acclaimed film Tangled, viewers were treated to a new Disney Channel original movie called Tangled Before Ever After. Both films were in anticipation of the premiere of Tangled: The Series, which saw the return of Mandy Moore as Rapunzel and Zachary Levi as Eugene (formerly known as Flynn Rider).

The adventure/comedy movie and series begin as Rapunzel acquaints herself with her parents, her kingdom and the people of Corona. Thanks to Rapunzel's curious nature and irrepressible spirit, she realizes she has so much she needs to learn about herself and the world before taking on the role as Princess of Corona. Joining her on her journey are her partner in life Eugene; her loyal chameleon sidekick, Pascal; her dutiful horse, Maximus; and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs. The series, which airs Fridays at 7 p.m. ET/PT, introduces newcomer Cassandra (voiced by Broadway's Eden Espinosa), as lady-in-waiting and Rapunzel's confidante.

Tangled Before Ever After (Disney Channel) PASCAL, RAPUNZEL

In Tangled Before Ever After, Rapunzel struggles with her new responsibilities as princess and the overprotective ways of her father. While she loves Eugene, she is not yet ready to get married and settle down. Instead, she and Cassandra set out on a secret adventure where they encounter mystical rocks that magically cause Rapunzel's long blonde hair to grow back, leaving her with no other recourse than to learn to embrace her hair and all that it represents.

May the Oral-B Force Be With You

Dental Health

As much as I hate to admit it, I didn't take very good care of my teeth as a kid. I had a few cavities and ended up costing my parents a small fortune since neither of them had a dental plan. One such cavity ended up requiring a root canal and gum surgery in my adult years. In hindsight, I can better appreciate the gift my dad bought us for Christmas many, many moons ago - an electric toothbrush. Several years ago, I made the switch back to an electric toothbrush and my dental hygienist has noticed a difference, as have I. Today, in an effort to get my kids to enjoy brushing their teeth regularly, I have tried both electric and battery-operated toothbrushes. They couldn't quite get used to them, my daughter especially, but now that they are a little older, they agreed to try out some new brushes by Oral-B.

Oral-B Vitality Sensitive Clean Electric Toothbrush, $34.99

The New Power Brush User Oral-B Vitality Sensitive Electric Toothbrush has extra gentle bristles and a round, compact brush. Given that my daughter tends to 'delicately' brush her teeth, this one was perfect for her. She hasn't picked up a manual toothbrush since so I say she likes it. She really, really likes it! It is rechargeable and includes a charger.

Oral-B Pro-Health Jr. Disney Star Wars Battery Toothbrush

Unlike my daughter, my son has been using battery-operated toothbrushes for a few years and so, to match his bold approach to dental hygiene, he tested out a super cool Star Wars toothbrush. And now, with the brilliant Disney Magic Timer App, he can invoke the force to help count to two minutes of successful brushing. The app is free and provides additional motivation by rewarding him with virtual stickers for his sticker book collection. He can choose from a variety of avatars and Disney themes. Funny enough, he was born a Star Wars baby (May the Fourth) so guess which one he chose!

To help you and your family maintain your pearly white, I am giving away an Oral-B prize (valued at $83*) pack that includes:

1 New Power Brush User Oral-B Vitality Sensitive Electric Toothbrush ($39.99)
1 Oral-B Pro-Health Jr. Disney Star Wars Battery Toothbrush ($7.99)
1 Oral-B Pro-Health Jr. Disney Frozen Vitality Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush ($34.99)

Please complete the Rafflecopter form for your chance to win.
