I think it looks better smaller like this, but you can see the full version if you click on it. Sorry I didn't work on the Pascal pic, but I haven't seen enough of his character design to really know how to rebuild his legs.

You're not daft, there just hasn't really been an official announcement yet from WDAS. On their website and facebook they do refer to this film as Tangled though.... I suppose that would make it pretty official for the US at least. In other countries however the film seems to have completely different titles, ever retaining the original Rapunzel title.atlanticaunderthesea wrote:And this may make me sound totally daft ... but does someone have the official announcement where Disney changed the films name ? I havnt actually seen it yet, and from all the trailers and confused merchandise boxes, seems as if this is, at the moment, the movie with no name !

Well whatever kind of masculinity they thought they were giving this movie with the title "Tangled" is completely wasted when they continually release promotional images like this. I really wish they would just call it "Rapunzel" and quite fooling themselves into thinking that the title change is going to change anyones minds. For me, Tangled actually puts me off as I envision a Hoodwinked type of B movie when I hear that title. I'm not saying that it will be one but that the title leads you to think that way.
I agree with you about sticking to the name, "Rapunzel." If they use the name, "Tangled," it WILL be a, "B," movie. If they use the name, "Rapunzel," it will be an, "A," movie, like Disney's, "Beauty and the Beast."jpanimation wrote:Well whatever kind of masculinity they thought they were giving this movie with the title "Tangled" is complexity wasted when they continually release promotional images like this.

Ok.I just thought people would notice the new topic there called "Why Tangled will inevitably fail." It has all those complaints about Tangled being rom-com and all.Here is what the op saidsingerguy04 wrote:how about you paraphrase what the person on IMDB is saying so people know what you are talking about?
The problem is that we don't even have a full narrative of Tangled.Let's be realistic. Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid weren't just good movies because of the script. They were good movies because Disney captured the heart of the fairy-tales- its message. Let's take a look at Rapunzel--- I mean! *Tangled*. (gasps and looks around to see which interest group is offended now)
Rapunzel is not about a girl who waits in the tower for a dominant male figure to save her. Nor is it about a ninja. Rapunzel is basically about this shy, home-school girl who gets looked away in a tower when she's twelve, presumably because she's attracted male attention, by an obsessed foster-mother who even has the audacity to put magic into Rapunzel's hair so that it becomes the only entry way. Her mother, who was never pretty or loved, basically views Rapunzel as the vessel of herself when she was young so that, in loving Rapunzel and nurturing her like a caring mother, she can ultimately love and nurture her own fragile spirit. Then a worldly prince comes along, probably sick of his own parent's and country's rules and regulations, and sees Rapunzel. They meet and he begins to talk about the world outside, which has always fascinated her. They fall in love, when her mother barges in and sends the prince (presumably) to his grave. Rapunzel, having learned courage from the prince, now stands up to her mother for the first time in her life and tells her that she can't be caged off forever. Rapunzel finally leaves and years later meets up with the prince and they live happily ever after.
Now what part of this sounds like "Tangled"? First of all, you have a completely paradoxical "rebellious, liberated" female, who has no way of even knowing what it means to be "liberated." You have an obnoxious, sexist version of a man who gets by off his hormones and makes no attempt to even separate his image from Naveen's. Then you've got an action chase, "magical hair" that the witch wants, and Rapunzel is really a princess. Wow. No, that's definitely not an elaborate marketing scheme at all. *rolls eyes* And you've got a Chameleon (um, where'd that come from?), some crazy artist get-up (isn't it pretty infamous that Rapunzel was a musician and a singer?), and a bunch of other, I can only imagine, repulsive sidekicks. So with the total lack of heart, lack of any kind of real message, terrible characters, and lousy plot, why in the world do they think it's going to succeed? People are right; it IS like a rom-com. Rom-com's are not timeless. Shocker, I know. *sigh* Disney, you fail! Don't even touch The Snow Queen until you get heads on your long-lonely shoulders!
And what I'm worried about is whether or not this will turn out to be a financial success and not a "disappointment", considering its competition.polish_princess wrote:What I'm worried about is whether or not "Tangled" is going to capture the essence of the Rapunzel fairy tale or if they are just going to name her Rapunzel and do everything different. Even when they changed parts of Little Mermaid or BatB, the basic story was still there. Rapunzel should be about a girl, who was taken away from her parents by a witch when they broke a promise, and kept in a tower, until a prince came and found her.
http://blueskydisney.blogspot.com/2010/ ... tales.htmlThe trailer for "Tangled" was shown and is very similar to the one that was leaked online, but not exactly like it. There is a clear emphasis to try to play up the adventure for boys, and the name Tangled certainly does that.
http://twitter.com/BreznicanDisney's Tangled (once Rapunzel, renamed for boys) truly aims for 'em. Trailer has thief climbing tower, beaten up by her DocOck-like hair.
