The Tangled world known as Rapunzel part 4

[Mobje]

Yeah i just saw it as well during 'The Voice of Holland'
About time!
Luckely with the original voices!

The pronunciation of the title 'Rapunzel' was a little off though! haha

[Toky]

haha speaking about the devil ..well anyway gladly there's finally some commercial and advertising

[Fairytales]

Indeed, and they used the 90 second awesome 'surprise' trailer!
though i'd be even happier if they showed the japanese trailer.

Oh gosh, i have to be working at an important german essay right now. BUT TANGLED LIVES IN MY BRAIN and i can't make room for anything else... it's pathetic.

An interview with Alan Menken
http://blogs.indiewire.com/leonardmalti ... w_tangled/

Here are some highlights of the interview:

Were there a lot of songs that didn’t make it into the film?
Yes. A, a lot of songs that didn’t make it in. B, a lot of song spots that didn’t make it in. The first song we wrote was the same music for “When Will My Life Begin” but called “What More Could I Ever Need?” and it was much more about celebrating Rapunzel’s life at the tower. Everything is just great here, just perfect! But then we thought the message was a little too positive. I also wanted to have an opening number for the prologue, have it sung as a story-song in a Cat Stevens tone, with incantation within it. But at the end of the day they wanted to stay with the traditional prologue. These guys do have good instincts. The score we have is the score that this production could comfortably support.

Has it disappointed you that the marketing for the film hasn’t highlighted at all the fact that it is a musical?
Or that they used a Pink song in the first trailer? “Disappointed” isn’t the word. There’s a certain level of frustration, I guess. But that’s also the reality. The reality is that people need to be coaxed toward a musical. They need to understand why it’s a musical. “Do I have to hear people sing their thoughts and feelings? Oh, no!” And then they love it. But I think people need permission to love it. With Chicago, it was the strong critical reaction telling people “This is really special!” That made people want to see it. Had they gone out and said Tangled is a musical — well, we’ll see how it does at the box office. That’s something that is, as President Obama would say, beyond my pay grade. I trust that at the end of the day, people who enjoy musicals will realize what Tangled really is.

But in the case of Tangled’s marketing campaign, it seems really a disservice to the work you put in to it…
Well, let me take you back in time. The ad campaign for Hunchback was “Come join the party!” And yet it’s a dark film. There was a lot of apologizing for the darkness in advance. For Hercules, it was a very kid-oriented campaign, which possibly didn’t make people realize how sophisticated that film really was with its humor and its look. I think The Princess and the Frog underperformed, and there was a concern about the “princess” concept in general. This movie is called Rapunzel overseas, but Tangled here. You can’t be a purist about these things, because you’ll end up stuck in the past. I’m just happy to be working. Disney could have just gone to a pop-song writer for this movie, but they realized that there is a craft to writing these things.

Do you still have plans for bringing a hand-drawn animated version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen to the big screen?
It’s on the shelf. We had actually written that to be a live stage show at the Tokyo DisneySea park. John Weidman wrote the book, and Glenn Slater and I did the music and lyrics. It turned out to be a bit expensive, and then it was picked up as a possible animated film. In the aftermath of The Princess and the Frog, it was put aside. It’s not an easy story to tell, to be honest. It may yet come back, though. If Tangled does well, maybe we can revisit it. Whether that will open the door to hand-drawn 2-D animation, that’s a question I couldn’t answer. Everybody is so tickled by the possibilities of CGI. That’s where everyone wants to put their energy right now, including even many former hand-drawn animators. I think prior to Tangled coming out, there’s been a lot of reevaluation at Disney: What do we want to do? What does this company stand for? And probably after Tangled there will be a re-reevaluation. Right now, I’m just thankful that they’re giving me something to keep me from being swallowed up by Broadway.

Dat was alleen de trailer... Kim Lian heeft de originele stem wel ingesproken en ze doet het best leuk, vind ik. Bij die Rapunzel scene die pas op youtube stond in het Nederlands vond ik haar best grappig!

Also, look at this:

I can't do it!

& don't you just looooove Flynn's gangsta walk at the beginning.

Is it also a coincidence that "Beauty and the Beast" will make its cable television premiere tonight...the same day as the "Tangled" release?

Ah! Thanks for reminding me

*Sets the DRV to record both Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast



Pher: I agree as well. There's a lot of connections to Beauty and the Beast, just like Beauty and the Beast had connections to Sleeping Beauty!

Caught a 1:15pm show with my wife and we both loved it! My wife (who humors me by coming to Disney movies typically) thought it was one of the best Disney movies she ever saw.

What impressed me was that the show was sold out. I cannot think of the last time I went to a Disney animated classic that was sold out. I am sure it happens, just not typically in Cincinnati.

The audience LOVED the movie. People laughed throughout. People cheered when Mother Gothel was defeated (hopefully that's not a spoiler - I can't think of a Disney movie where that didn't happen). When the movie ended, people were clapping (again, not something I see in Cincinnati).

I will see it again, but for now, I cannot think of anything I did not like about it, or anything that came across as cheesy or forced. I am hopeful that this one will get some positive word of mouth and will make Disney some decent money.

Oh it must be so much fun to have an audience like that! I'ver never experienced an audience like that. Mostly people were just texting on their phones or (teen girls) babbling about how much they hated someone and that they wanted to go there and if they had homework and stuff. Stupid smalltalk. I just wanted to shout: 'Hello, we're watching a MOVIE ! Shut the hell up!'

The worst was during Eclipse. They were a bunch of schoolkids, especially girls that brought their boyfriends. the boyfriends didn't know the storyline so some girl started to explain the whole damn story to the guys.
It was so annoying... though i probably have not missed much in Eclipse. It was the worst Twilight movie so far.

sorry fr going offtopic.

Saw Tangled in 3D on the 1st showing and I loved it and my cinema was full too. As of right now its the only CGI film from Disney Animation Studios that is a classic.

Didn't like Meet the Robinsons? Hmm. The only 3D film they've had I didn't like was Chicken Little. That was just horrible.

Anyone notice there were two missing scenes from the trailer? She never threw Flynn out of the window using her hair and she never dropped her hair onto him as he was scaling the tower? But I absolutely loved the film! I really enjoyed myself. The side kicks were great, the music was wonderful and Mother Gothel was such a fantastic villain. I also saw it in 3D (which I usually don't enjoy) and it was done very well. Can't wait to own it!

I just found another connection to Beauty and the Beast. The film that preceded it was The Little Mermaid, directed by John Musker and Ron Clemens. The film that precedes Tangled is Princess and the Frog...directed by John Musker and Ron Clemens!

Not to burst your bubble..

The Little Mermaid - November 15, 1989
The Rescuers Down Under - November 16, 1990
Beauty and the Beast 5 - November 13, 1991

VERY EARLY Box Office projections from the Box Office Mojo forum:

Rival studios just told me that Walt Disney Studios' animated Tangled is opening today "much bigger than expected" than Hollywood's 5-day estimates of $35M to $40M. One source says it's double but that may be exaggerated. Yet even cautious Disney is telling me they're "seeing an uptick in our expectations". Interesting because the Thanksgiving holiday weekend estimate for blockbuster holdover Harry Potter And the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 is $90M. Clearly the new Disney regime did a great marketing job moving the Rapunzel fairy tale out of its Little Misses & Moms niche and into a wider demographic arena by emphasizing its comedic flair. Stay tuned tonight to see if I can legitimately use my planned-in-advance headline: "Hair No Match For Harry". I'll have a full box office report and analysis later on.

wow - wouldn't THAT be something huh? Disney's 3-day opening weekend record still lies with The Lion King. Tangled is in a very strong position to break it. And that would be fitting seeing as critics are cautiously hailing it as Disney's best since The Lion King.

Fingers crossed now!

[PatrickvD]

Tangled is now also slowly catching up to Harry Potter in online ticket sales... I think we're going to have to brace ourselves for BIG Box Office numbers.
