Stronger Than Ever Before - Storyboard v. Final Version Side-by-Side 

Originally Varian's father wasn't gonna be freed until after the song so that's why Varian is a sad boi

Everyone else: party time!! Varian:

The tangled series staff really said let's make varian the sad boy with trauma, making the fans feel bad for him

everyone's talking about how sad varian would've been out of place, which I partially agree with. but imagine if this happened: his father has been freed but he's busy talking to other people, leaving *that* sad varian but then Raps and the gang pulls him into their dance, going along with the song and keeping the tradition of pulling the out of place "villain" into a group hug (like Eugene in the first movie and Cass in the final episode) just me? ok XD

Varian was very sad in that storyboard, but I'm actually really glad they put his dad back in the script, otherwise this episode would have been super depressing for him.😅

Me, who loves angst: varian sad >), me, who loves varian: varian sad :((

Seeing sad Varian in the middle of such an uplifting song is kinda weird. That last bit where he walked off made me want to just hug him :( I wonder what they were originally planning to do with Quirin if he was still trapped.

Storyboards nowdays are almost fully animated due to pressures from the producers who want to have something between the board and the animation layout. That gives a lot more work to do for the storyboard artists without being paid more and the efficiency of this new generation of storyboard is just the same of the older one. Just watch the story reel from Beauty and the Beast, it didn't need to add so much panels to give the right feeling of what the final film would be. But it was pleasant to watch this clip. Producers, if you want the storyboard artists to animate, just give them some extra money and credit.

Storyboard version: So... Varian is just standing on the sidelines being grumpy?

“Stronger than ever!!” Varian in that frame: 🙁

Rapunzel, the promise you made to Varian. remember it.

Varian being by himself without his dad while the song playing would've felt out of place. Glad they changed the script a bit.

I love how the storyboard is all the same except Varian is depressed the whole time and no one really cares they’re just singing and dancing around him

The song, animation, and storyboard are fantastic! But it makes me wonder, what were they originally thinking with Varian ?! xD Having him there all sad while the happy song happens is very distracting.

I definitely prefer the final version over the storyboard version for this song.

1:55 Omg Varian is sadddddd😭😭

im gonna be honest yall... im gonna say it.. im gonna say it.. i kinda wish they kept the thing of quirin being freed after the song bc sad varian idk just hits different

If you can, I would LOVE to see Crossing the line!

1:56 Rapunzel! Varian Is sad

This is almost animated. Storyboards don't tend to have that much fluidity

I love how expressive the animatic is- I like the original animation but MAN, the drawings were awesome

Tom Caulfield is god

V A R I A N

you are amazing

If they kept sad varian i think he'd have a right to be the villain again

Eu made a song like this one But it's like from The butterfly princess like Encanto Rapunzel - Mirend - Mirabel Eugene The Madrigals in the song and all of Colômbia.

Varian esta muy fuera de lugar en la version storyboard

Un lieto fine . Per tutti peccato che non ci abbiano fatto vedere la ramanzina del padre di Verian. Visto che ne a fatti di errori . Ma visto che anche il padre ne a fatti . Pace e fatta viva Rapunzel

οαο

I love the song but the video...no just no it's so weird and idk it's just weird and cringy ...
