So I blogged back in 2008 about how Disney was coming out with a Rapunzel movie, and that the art looked breathtaking. So I saw an advertisement for this movie last night, and , well, I just don’t know what to say. The art, while a little different, still looks amazing. But the story…

The name has been changed to “Tangled“, and the movie looks to be total camp. According to Wikipedia, the director for the movie was changed mid-way through to the guy behind the movie Bolt.

Great.

I might still go to see it, because the art does look unbelievable. But I may wretch over the story. I wonder what the reviews will be like.

Here is the concept picture that so moved me previously, though you should click through all the concept art because it’s so good (especially this, this, this and this). The original concept art is beautiful and, well, serious. The final art doesn’t look bad either (see here and click around), but you can see how they took a decided turn towards the pointlessly goofy. In any event, both galleries are worth looking at. Query whether the movie will be as well.
