Gothel reminds me alot of Yzma from The Emperors New Groove
She looks very over the top and she gets want she wants.


She also has Cruella's charm and seems to be very persuasive.


And finally she is most defiantly evil, her dark personality with a sexy feel too. Like Evil Queen and Maleficent

Personally She will be one of my favourite villians

Haha, cute poster. Flynn is so cute.

New image! Isn't it lovely?

That is REALLY clever! Very much a tease indeed! LOVE it! The marketing seems to be improving, with all the artwork being spread on facebook and the new featurette we saw yesterday. Let's hope the new trailer also reflects the movie better!

Ugh, I hate it so much. I am really hating how Disney's marketing department is treating this film. That poster with Flynn climbing up Rapunzel's hair is so good. This one just looks stupid to me (and I'm really looking forward to Tangled).

I'm really worried how the new trailer will look like and this makes me even more worried. I'm this close to using one of DisneyJedi's over-used angry face emoticons.

I'm getting a "Kiss the Girl" vibe from that new picture. And even though the teaser poster doesn't give like anything way, it is kind of clever. You just want to rip out her hair and see what Rapunzel and Flynn are doing. Okay, maybe not..... Never mind

Which featurette? The one about the look of the movie or the one with the rough CGI animation?

Thanks, Prince Kido for the teaser poster!

But I'm not sure I like it... It's sort of bland. And I'm not sure I would recognize it was the story of Rapunzel with that poster...

The hair is nice, however!

And thanks sotiris2006 for the pics! I so cannot wait to see that scene in the movie. It's going to be magical.

And I've never heard of a puzzle ball before... Sounds weird.

Wow! Rapunzel in that poster looks like one of my drawings.

As for that picture of her and Flynn on the boat... jawdrop:

Thankyou so much for posting those pictures.

Flynn is so gorgeous. I'm just falling more and more in love with him.

We sat back and… this is true… we sat back and looked at the film, and as much as, and I said this before, this movie does not work if Rapunzel’s not in the movie and it also does not work if Flynn Rider’s not in the movie. This is the story of the two of them, and you can’t make the film without one or the other. So, because of that, we wanted a title that reflected the movie that we were making. Rapunzel, it’s like calling Toy Story… Buzz Lightyear. Why would you do that? That’s the story of Buzz and Woody, so they call it Toy Story. This is the same thing. This isn’t the story of one character; it’s the story of two characters. So we needed a title that reflected that.

Yeah, why call it Rapunzel? That's silly. It's like calling Aladdin - Aladdin, when it's just as much about Jasmine and Genie. Should've called it Lamp to properly reflect the movie Ron and John were making. Imagine if they called Peter Pan - Peter Pan, when Wendy is a pretty central character. Even worse would be calling Pocahontas - Pocahontas, when the story is just as much about John Smith. Look at all the lost souls that don't understand that title.

Nice try guys. You read marketing's script perfectly but our BS detectors just went off. It's common knowledge this was a marketing attempt to attract boys, end of story.

Amen!

Jasmine, Jane, John Smith, Meg and prince Eric are secondary characters. The great Flynn Rider (who?) is way more important than any of them. [/sarcasm]

having said that, Tangled is looking better and better.

Isn't it's lovely that the Marketers are such obnoxious hypocrites?

^ Hopefully we'll see some boy-centric merchandise soon, then, huh?

^^^^^^Teaser poster. It's the golden burrito look.

The pub's name The Snuggly Duckling makes me think of a inn with sleeping cabins next to a pond.

I know, right? But Disney knows everything about marketing hypocrisy (cough, Hannah Montana, cough).

What about Disney's Tim Burton movie, "Alice in Wonderland?" That movie made fifth place in the billion dollar mark worldwide, and it is still successful. It took down Christopher Nolan's, "The Dark Knight." And best of all, it has the girl's name without a change, and it focuses on more than one character. For example, the Mad Hatter. I see no problem with Disney's previous animated movies that does not receive the title change, they are all successful in any way, including, "Tarzan." Even though movies bear the name of the person's name, it can still focus on more than one character. And on top of that, it can still attract boys to see the movie as long as the story is good enough that fits for the name of the movie. That is what i believe, but feel free to correct me if you want to, because what you just read is my opinion. Everyone has an opinion in this thread, but forgive me for almost correcting you.

By the way, if it is true that Disney should change the name to focus on two characters, then why would they not do it at other nations that do bear the name, "Rapunzel," besides, "Tangled?" Probably because they do not like the name, "Tangled," or maybe they have no problem with boys seeing the movie, "The Princess and the Frog."

Anyways, despite the directors', of Disney's, "Rapunzel (Tangled)," reason for changing the name, I believe that the Los Angeles Times, to me, has described perfectly clear about why they changed the name in the first place, because Disney's previous movie, which I had no problem with, "The Princess and the Frog," did not do well as Disney hoped, because of the word, "princess," that keeps the boys from seeing the movie. There is a rule for that, "you cannot judge a book by its cover." In other words, "never judge people, places, or things by their name, their looks, or other." Forgive me, that is something I like to say when it comes the names of the movies. But who knows, maybe there could be a reason to change the name. But when I look at the previous Disney movies based on fairy tales, none of them ever receives any title changes. And if it is true that changing names is necessary, then how did, "Beauty and the Beast," topped it off without the title change, which is based on a fairy tale (I must agree that the name does support two characters besides one)? Sorry for asking too many questions, I was just curious.

One more thing, I believe that Disney in the 1990's bears the name, to show people how much they can make a better story for fairy tales like Disney did before his death, and how they can make it more interesting than typical. I guess they decided to take, "Rapunzel," to a higher level, when they can make more money than trying to make the story better that fits for the name, "Rapunzel." Just a thought by the way.
