And Deco King, there haven't been any new pictures of Gothel, but I've been looking around to see if any have been posted in the past. If I find anything, I'll post it here.
it was posted a while back. some guy from imdb did them... at least that's what i was told.blackcauldron85 wrote:I don't disbelieve you, but how do you know?

It is.. I mean really, that design is very appealing, she is young, quirky and seems full of life. I just hope that they make her look more 2D, I mean why not traditionally animate her and use CG to add texture and some more shadows. I mean really? Why in the world would the studio want it be CG in the first place is what I'm wondering. Disney is the only company who ever truly pulled off hand drawn animation, and it's the only company really that has ever had REAL successful fairy tales, not fantasy, fairy tales. Why not make Walt's 50TH FILM hand drawn.. a tribute to him.. it is the 50th.. and it's Rapunzel.. the one story Walt could never get just right...oh I don't think they respond to CGI stuff anymore than traditional.. I just think that it's the fact that Disney is the only traditional animation producing company at the moment and they just stopped making what they were best at... traditionally animated fairy tales... they had 4 great films in a row.. although lion king wasn't a "fairy tale".. and since then they progressively got worse..the scripts just weren't as good.. and they lost their magic..Cordy_Biddle wrote:It's sad, I know. It seems that kids really only seem to respond to CGI stuff these days. I'm hoping "Princess and the Frog" starts turning the tide in the other direction.
Looks great!enigmawing wrote:It's a shame that the linked art has nothing to do with the production, it's gorgeous!!! Regardless, I loved the one design so much that wanted to attempt her myself: http://enigmawing.deviantart.com/art/Rapunzel-137374065
Thank you for sharing! 
At the D23 Expo, I was surprised how many fans didn't know it was going to be CG. I talked to a lot of people after John Lasseter revealed the voice cast and showed the test footage and the general reaction was "I don't get why it is in CG." I kept trying to explain that story is the most important thing and that it will still be a great film. I'm actually excited for Disney's first CG traditional fairy tale (I don't count Chicken Little, lol).blackcauldron85 wrote:The reason Rapunzel will be in CG is because Glen Keane wanted to stretch how CG animation is done. He wanted to make it look painterly and beautiful, and like a painting. I mean, yes, initially I think he would've done it traditionally, but then working on the film more on the computer, he was enjoying it and wanted to make it the most beautiful animated film ever, and, if I recall correctly, when given the option later of making the film traditionally or in CG, he chose CG.
