i don't know what it says about me, but i thought that was kind of fantastic? It had a real Emperors New Groove about it, which is a GOOD thing. Plus i have a soft spot for Chameleon's….

So is she "Medusa of the living locks"?

Thatfilmlover – I agree! Very Emperor's New Groove/Hercules. And the horse reminds me of Pegasus, Felipe (Sleeping Beauty), and Prince Philip's horse in Sleeping Beauty. I gotta say, I'm excited for this one.
Also, Devin, when was Rapunzel ever the star of her own fairy tale? She's the epitome of D-I-D and this looks like it gives her more to do than let down her hair.

It's not like there's any pop culture references or anything in it…it's marketed toward girls under 10. Seriously, what do you expect?

I also think that it's actually good. It's a fresh thing for disney to do, to make an edgy version of fairy tales. Looks like fun.

the mystery and technology behind rapunzel turns out to be this?? It's not bad, but its not what the wiki page made it up to be back when it was called Rapunzel.

I don't think this looks bad. The mood and style looks a lot like Dreamworks' The Road to El Dorado, which is not a masterpiece but definitely very enjoyable. I liked Disney's other more humorous features (Hercules, The Emperor's New Groove), so I'm looking forward to this one.

Once again, it looks as if the stamp of 3D has become a warning sign of bad cinema. Oh well James Cameron :/

For a minute I thought this was an animated remake of the J-horror flick Hair Extensions (Ekusute).

I like how it manages to look like hand drawn animation and 3D animation at the same time. For once, I feel like they've made "people" look right, going for the more cartoony look. The people that inhabit the Shrek universe look and move freaky to me for some reason, some sort of uncanny valley going on.

doesn't look bad. but rapunzel looks sort of like a bratz doll

If you don't think it looks awful, your moviegoing rights should be revoked. When I saw the trailer last night, it just sat there on the screen crushing the audience's collective soul. "She's been grounded like … FOREVER"? Wow. That will go down in the annals of movie history as one of the worst taglines in like … FOREVER. Everything about this movie looks mind-numbingly awful, with the possible exception of the actual artistry, which is almost impossible to enjoy with that awful pop song. THIS is Disney? Wow. That's a sad commentary indeed. It's like the "North Avenue Irregulars" of animated movies.

I agree with John. The tag-line is horrible.

And Pixar already shot down the "edgy" look and feel of Toy Story 1. If anyone has seen what "edgy" Woody was, he was a jerk, and it was vomit inducing bad. Edgy is what Dreamworks does… and I don't care for it in a Disney film.
