Despite having a cavalcade of flops to their resume over the past decade or more, one of Disney’s greatest triumphs was their much beloved Tangled. And now, we are getting even more.

Disney has announced that they will be debuting the short film Tangled Ever After prior to the release of Beauty And The Beast 3D, on January 13, 2012.

The short will see the return of directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, and will pick up right where the original feature left off.

The digital deal of the day over at Amazon today is Disney’s 50th animated feature Tangled, which is available for rental for only $.99. The film stars the voice cast of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy, and Ron Perlman, with music from Alan Menken.

This deal is valid only for today, Thursday, July 7, 2011, until midnight PST. Once you activate the rental through the Amazon Instant Video service, you’ll have access to the movie for 48 hours. (There is no option at this time to purchase this digital version through Amazon Instant Video.)

If you’d like to purchase a physical copy of the movie, it’s also available as a 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray 3D + Blu- ray + DVD + Digital Copy) — which comes with a digital copy — as well as a 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and a standard 1-Disc DVD.

With their 50th animated feature, Disney tackles the classic fairy tale Rapunzel, bringing to life the story of the young girl with golden tresses locked away high up in a tower, out of reach from the outside world.

In Tangled, the opening sequence gives us Rapunzel’s history: stolen from her King and Queen parents as a newborn by an wicked old woman named Gothel (Donna Murphy), Rapunzel’s long blonde hair holds the power to restore youth, hence why the witch keeps the princess captive. The girl, not knowing her true origin, lives her life in a high tower with no doors, with no friends or interaction with the outside world. Each day, Rapunzel (Mandy Moore) lets down her 70-feet of hair through the window for Mother Gothel to climb up. Just before her 18th birthday, the teen has just one wish: to go see the floating lanterns that are lit each year on her birthday, but Gothel has no intention of letting the girl leave “home.”

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will be releasing their latest animated feature Tangled on home video on March 29, 2011, so to get you ready for the release, below are videos containing some excerpts from the bonus features, including an alternate opening sequence.

This 50th full-length animated Disney feature will be available as a 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray 3D + Blu- ray + DVD + Digital Copy); a 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD); and a 1-Disc DVD.
