I wonder if the earlier generation of Disney fans felt the same way when they read that a couple of The Little Mermaid's songs would have a Calypso style to it.DisneyJedi wrote: True, it might be because I only grew up watching them. But it's just that none of them involved a musical score that might be in the style of 60s rock, which I'm not used to from an animated fairy tale.
im very much looking forward to it!i wish there are more than 7 songs.the problem with later films is the lack of songs, u wish there were more to quench our thirst for disney songs 
Obsessive love can be just as frightening or maybe even more frightening then obsessive hate, because it's harder to understand why someone can be cruel to someone out of love then out of hate. I think this will be a villain we'll all love to hate. On paper alone she sounds like a rich, diverse character with layers, which is something we don't see very often in a Disney animated feature film where things are often slightly more black and white so it's easy to distinguish good from evil...IagoZazu wrote:Actually, Mother Gothel doesn't sound much like a true villain. True villains never feel love. All she might have is obsession and withdrawl issues over Rapunzel's magic, but she doesn't sound that horrible unless she's just using her. But if she does feel love for Rapunzel, then that really doesn't make her that much of a villain, maybe disgruntled or bitter. Then there's the part where she kidnapped Rapunzel from her real parents, and that's not a good thing at all.
That's OK, we used to have dial-up, too, so I can sympathize! But yeah, I get now why you used the Beast as and example. And I really love the villainesses, too, but I think it would be interesting to have Gothel sympathetic. Well, at least she won't be like Maleficent, who is perfectly aware that she is evil, and rather likes being so. She'll be more of a misguided figure who twists something good into something scary, in this case, love. Sort of like Frollo with religion.Disney's Divinity wrote:
Also, Margos, sorry for all those tech errors I had.I was trying to correct them, but having a dial-up connection isn’t exactly ideal for doing that. I was editing my post about the Beast thing just as you replied. Sorry.

Mother Gothel's story arc sorta reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Stardust. The obsession with staying young.
Sorry if that sounded snarky, I just have bitter feelings over TP&TF. The only parent we heard of early on was her mother, and then all of a sudden the movie became about Tiana following in a father’s footsteps and finishing his dream. I just get a little depressed when there’s rarely a mother with that kind of influence. Though I guess Disney couldn’t use another dead mother on their track record (though I like to think she could've inspired Tiana and been alive at the same time.PatrickvD wrote:

I'll pipe up an say, I think so, too! She's very lovely, and definitely has that "Disney Princess" look about her... But with enough attitude to reflect Rapunzel's personality.Disney's Divinity wrote: Oh, and I definitely agree about Diana Agron. There’s something defiant and yet lovable, intelligent and beautiful about her.
I approve! Flynn definitely looks great, and while Rapunzel does look a little generic here, I agree that we need to wait until we see a frontal picture of her with a happier expression on.
