Thanks for the compliment,
Disney Duster!
You're also very smart and I always find your comments interesting as well.

You can mask the age of grownups with make-up and lighting, but you can't obviously do that with a kid. I'm not happy with the recasting, but if it's indeed set just a few years later, it's understandable.
That sounds likely. I don't mind the recasting that much, but I feel bad for the original actress.
Sotiris wrote:There weren't, but Giselle mentioned Grumpy, so she either knew the dwarfs or had heard of them. I wouldn't mind if they made a brief appearance as a throwback to her comment in the original, but dedicating an entire musical number to them? That's too much. Giselle isn't Snow White.
Oh, you're right! I didn't remember that. I agree, if it was just a brief appearance I wouldn't have a problem with it either, but not only will they have their own musical number, but the article says they'll also play a pivotal role in the movie.
Sotiris wrote:If Andalasia gets transported into the real world, does this mean there won't be any 2D animation this time around?
I'm also concerned about the new villain. Is Malvina Monroe an Andalasian or a New Yorker? I hope it's the former, 'cause having a suburban resident as the film's main antagonist isn't very interesting.
The article says the Kingdom of Andalasia will be in danger too, so perhaps while the real-world village is turned into a fairy-tale land, the opposite will happen to Andalasia. If the village doesn't turn into an animated world when it transforms, Andalasia shouldn't turn into live-action either; just become more modern, but maybe they'll do that with Andalasia to save money and it'll only be animated a bit at the beginning and at the end. We'll see. I think there will be 2D animation in the movie, just less than in the original.
As for the villain, her name sounds like a witch name to me. And I think she'll be the one who tricks Giselle into making that wish, so I imagine she'll have magical powers. I wonder who they'll cast in that role.
Redadoodles wrote:How old is Giselle supposed to be ? Even in the original. I mean, usually Disney princesses are teenagers but Amy Adams was about 32 when she shot the original. However, I highly doubt that Disney intended the character to be that "old".
Yes, you're right. She was probably meant to be in her twenties in the first film. But if the characters are now supposed to be just two or three years older than in the first film, then there'll be a much bigger difference between the characters' and the actors' real age this time.

Is that from a deleted scene or is it just a set photo?

That hadn't occurred to me, maybe they could do that.
Does all of Andalasia get ejected into the real world or something? Or perhaps cursed into being "real" in their own world... If the latter, perhaps Giselle would return there at the end?
