So, it is possible to ask questions about the movie? If so, I'm curious about the darker script as well.
And a little about the technology. Glen Keane tried to combine the best of both worlds, CGI and hand drawn animation. What I'm wondering about, is if there are still elements from hand drawn animation that Disney wish to include in CGI, but which is still either impossible to do, or they are not being able to do it as well as they are hoping for. If there are, what are they? And what other challenges and improvements are they still working on when it comes to computer animation and rendering? Do they have any ambitions for the future that is impossible today, just as Tangled was impossible just a few years ago?

And of course, I hope there will be a lot of interesting stuff about the making of the movie on the extra material on the DVD/Blu ray.

Maybe you could ask them why they ultimately decided to go with the more tame design of Flynn that’s in the movie v. the rather unique (for Disney), larger-guy design we’ve seen from old art of the film? :)

Actually, that is an interesting question. Flynn was supposed to be modeled after Errol Flynn, his namesake.

I got a question for you to ask them, atlanticaunderthesea. Is there a deleted scene about what Rapunzel wants done with her dead hair?

The movie seems to be doing well, but I've been wondering how it will do in Japan (12 March 2011). I personally think it could do quite well, because of the beautiful animation and story and hopefully they have the marketing right.

What do others think, because Japan is a country where Rapunzel could make anywhere from $5 million to $200 million. Brother Bear made under $20 Million, but Alice in Wonderland (2010) made $133 million.
No signature needed - Kyoto Animation put out some beautiful animation

Another question that I forgot to ask; was there anything the directors, writers or producer wanted to include in the movie, but didn't because of technological limitations or not enough time and/or money?

In one of the tellings I read as a kid they take her hair and weave it into a rug for the castle. I always imagine that ending into any telling of the Rapunzel story.

Hmm.. I have always figured she would donate it to Locks of Love.. or maybe use it to soak up any remaining oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Oh wait, that would've only worked for Rapunzel Unbraided.

Yeah, I'm sure they wanted to turn it into the silly comedy the trailers portrayed but they didn't have the time :D

This weekend, Tangled will pass Beauty and the Beast and Tarzan's $171 million putting it 4th on the list of top Disney feature animation/animation studios films behind #3 Snow White ($184 mill) #2 Aladdin ($217 mill) and of course #1 The Lion King ($328 mill) :)

(of course with inflation and 3D prices, it doesn't mean much, but still it will now rank higher on box office tallies.)

I just noticed a pattern in the Lasseter-produced Disney films up to now (Meet the Robinsons, Bolt, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled): They all begin with the main character as a baby.

I wonder if Winnie the Pooh will begin with Christopher Robin as a baby? :P

It bugs me that Rapunzel got way less screentime as a little kid than Tiana and Bolt. Another thing that bothers me is we're whisked through the time she is age four so fast we don't see her entire body and face in one shot. You'd have to look at the figurine of her as a child in the Disney Store figurine set to see what she looked like in entirety in that brief scene.

Personally, I'm glad. Both Tiana and Rapunzel had pretty bad designs, with their big fat adult heads on tiny little baby/girl bodies. Child Tiana ended up reminding me of Bambi. And baby Rapunzel just looked weird.

baby rapunzel had waaaaay too much hair. reminded me of one of those baby dolls you can style, lol.

i wish they had incorporated more 3d bits. i thought when her foot touched the grass it would be amazing, and the same with the collapsing dam scene. they didnt have enough "popping" 3d, so when they did use it [the lanterns] it was distracting.

i will be going to see it again, but in 2d this time. to me, it wasnt worth the 3d price tag.

Yeah, but those are among the few human main characters we see as four year olds.
