Greno and Howard created Pascal in order to provide the lonely, isolated Rapunzel with a friend to talk to. When they lose the couple's wedding rings, the duo frantically attempts to retrieve them. In Tangled Ever After, Pascal and Maximus appear as ring bearers at Rapunzel and Flynn's wedding. In Tangled, Pascal resides alongside Rapunzel in Mother Gothel's tower, while Maximus is a police horse originally trained to arrest Flynn Rider before he befriends him at Rapunzel's insistence. A comedic chameleon and horse duo, Pascal and Maximus serve as sidekicks to main characters Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, respectively.


Created by screenwriter Dan Fogelman, both characters are usually left unvoiced, although in Tangled Ever After, Nathan Greno provides the voice of Maximus while Dee Bradley Baker voices both characters in the continuity presented in Rapunzels Tangled Adventure. Pascal and Maximus are a pair of animals who first appear in Walt Disney Pictures' 50th animated feature film Tangled (2010) as supporting characters, and subsequently star in its short Tangled Ever After (2012), television film Tangled: Before Ever After and television series Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure.
