I went down to Border's earlier today to take a gander at the new Art of Tangled book.

I am truly amazed at all the development art that went into it. The layout of the entire kingdom has me more excited of how Rapunzel and Flynn's journey will turn out.

This is really going to be a great movie! :)

I actually like When will my life begin a lot more than I thought I would based off the doll's clip. I agree it does sound a bit too poppish and arranged though.

What disturbs me about the clips and trailers is the modern dialogue, even in some of the songs ("like 7:15"). For those who have seen the movie, is this very prevalent or distracting? I would think it would keep the movie from becoming a true classic like Beauty and the Beast. Can you imagine Belle saying "Stop freaking out!" to the Beast when he catches her almost touching the rose?

I LOVE Harry Potter :wink:

Looking forward to Tangled more, because the movies aren't the books. The books are amazing <3

Ditto. The sixth film was such a major disappointment to me, I'm pretty much done with the franchise. Had they brought back Cauron, I would be there. But, David Yates' directing choices just annoy me most of the time.

Me too! Not excited about seeing Harry Potter at all. I was never really a big fan.

As for the modern dialogue, didn't The Little Mermaid have phrases like "Oh my gosh" and things of that nature? And it didn't take away from the movie. :-)

Harry Shum Jr., who plays Mike Chang on Glee, tweeted "Tangled was great. Disney made another instant classic. Loved the old cupid man!".

The big thing about this is that the Entertainment section on CNN.com quoted him on their main page! http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/

I'm thinking word of mouth is more important than marketing these days.

Actually, Ariel's modern dialogue was VERY disconcerting to me the first time I watched the movie, but at least she stops talking halfway through. I do love Little Mermaid though... Hopefully I will like Tangled just as much.

I am not looking forward to Harry Potter at all, and am not planning to watch it. The books were wonderful and witty and funny, the movies not so much.

dollover–I think the modern dialogue really works for both Ariel and Rapunzel; they're very bright, bubbly, and young. I almost put modern in quotes because the modernity in their speech comes from "like" and "oh my gosh!", which are latter twentieth century teenager-isms, instead of being too hip or modern. I think it's utilized well to emphasize their characters–naturally, Belle or even Aurora would never do such a thing, as they're both much more mature than Ariel and Rapunzel.

I was thinking about that too. That line is very very dated. I don't think it will prevent it from being a classic if it is good enough, but it is something that will always stand out. In a bad "wow that is so 2010" way.

For real? If he really said that and he didn't use a sarcastic tone I am impressed. I am friends with him on Facebook and while he is very satirical he has a high level of respect towards the medium, so to hear that he actually liked the animation in Tangled impresses me. Although, I do wonder what he thought of the overall movie. He greatly criticized its constant changes, including the change of directors and the title change.

True, true... because Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song is such a timeless piece :lol:

What is in "Sing a Gay Little Spring Song" that is not timeless?

Cinderella uses the term "dance, be gay" and the clothes are of the time along with the language, yet the movie is still timeless.

I just realized that people said the title of this film didn't matter, just the film itself.

Yet when it comes to gay marriage, they won't take civil unions, they need the title "marriage".

Titles do matter. Titles mean things.

In the case of this film, the title "Rapunzel" it would mean it was Disney's version of the original tale, keeping the Disney tradition, legacy, and dream of Walt Disney.
