So sorry it took long. I just got home after flying all day and I was unwinding for a bit.
Speaking of the song, a still has been released from a new Facebook featurette on Shank:

And a very cute clip of Felix and Calhoun has been leaked. (I'll get to them in two weeks.)

Yeah, I know you are/were very worried about the Princess scene. It changed dramatically from the Expo and everyone is more in character now. I think you will enjoy the scene fine now. And there is a *little* Easter Egg at OMD that you'll lose your mind over. I thought of you right away! Keep your eye out
I unfortunately did not like the pop version. I thought it was whiny and actually techno. What is more weird is that she mentions Slaughter Race in the pop version too, so why change the title? The movie is the totally opposite. It's much better I'll repeat Kido:
Very very Disney-like and Broadway-like. Much more than I thought. My opinion will come next Friday after listening to it a little bit more, but I am overall satisfied and happy with it

Oh dear! What a shame!

disneyprincess11! I'm so envious! But I’m really happy for you, of course, and I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for sharing your impressions! But tell us, aside from the movie, what was the experience like? Was it your first time at the studios? Did you get to meet any Disney artists? Did they give some behind-the-scenes info? Sorry for so many questions
, you don’t need to answer them if you don’t want or are not allowed to.

That’s a relief. I’m still not sure I will like it, but I’m glad some things have been fixed.
You are fine, love!
It was my very first time at the studios. I got in through D23. It was more of a tour of the hallways and a brief look at the big offices, but it's totally okay! It was my dream to go there and I'm so happy and blessed I fulfilled it
I met Paul Briggs and he was so sweet, plus I won an exclusive picture from him! He said he was the director of a new movie and he was very excited and that's it. We got BTS footage after the movie, so we saw a tiny bit of the first draft of the Princess scene that had Yess with the girls, a couple of handrawn tests of Ariel, Snow and Yesss, some art for Vanellope's song, and footage of Taraji's first recording as Yesss. Basically, even if you end up not liking the Princess scene, you will like it more than the Expo scene. I personally love the Expo scene more than the final a bit more, but I still immensely enjoy the final version. The chemistry and sisterhood are still there!
D82 wrote:Sorry, one more question, disneyprincess11. Now that you've seen both Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet, which of the two do you think is more likely to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature?
Sure, sure! I would be equally happy if any of those two will win. Wreck-It Ralph 2 is all about the emotions (Very deep!), but Incredibles 2 is more sophisticated. Knowing how the Academy foolishly picked Brave over the first movie, we should all expect history repeating itself.
And while we're on topic, I firmly believe "A Place Called Slaughter Race" is a strong contender for a nomination. Again, it has the huge Broadway & Disney feeling & sophistication and the Academy loves that! But, I think it'll be A Star is Born's Oscar to lose. Whatever APCSR stands a chance to be a big competition for MPR's music is too soon to tell, but it wouldn't surprise me.
