"Here comes the smolder." Lol! That looks rad as shit.
Lotta Dreamworks face goin' on. Dunno if I really feel the whole 'prehensile hair' thing, though. Might end up as a rental (dunno if 3D will really add anything significant to the experience).

I was under the impression it was SUPPOSED to be animated and no CGI. Now I've lost all interest in seeing it.
↑ pretty much this

They were saying it would be 2D dor a long time, but that changed around the time they stopped calling it Rapunzel and renamed it Rapunzel: Unbraided.
They were supposed to be trying to emulate a really painterly style though, and it looks like they threw that idea out the window in favour of just trying to make it look like Shrek.

I understand the desire for Disney to cut costs and speed up creation time by using CG (It's a bit faster and can cost a lot less than Animation if done in house) but that doesn't excuse them doing it at the cost of the art. Walt would be furious at some of the movies that have been made since his death, and rightly so.

Nice. And CH, that's actually exactly what I said to a friend last night--that they wanted it to be Shrek. I don't think it will be horrible, but this isn't going to make my very careful "is this worth 5$" screening system.
"Dreamworks Face" is a pretty common facial expression in animation, really. The problem is DW used it so much for stills (because it's expressive without being comically so) that now it's as much of a joke as any wildly over-expressive face.
This movie doesn't look bad, but honestly it feels a little Shrek-y. I don't think I'd bother with it in theaters.

I think "watch in theatres" vs "wait for DVD" people are going to be divided along lines of how much they sympathize with Shego's comment, two posts above.

Also, how much they're willing to feel like a pedophile.

Eh? Looked to me like she could take care of herself. The main thing stopping her from leaving is probably fear of her mother/witch-person.
Might have been funny except that shoves the Shrek parallels into overdrive.

Like I said, just thinking out loud. I forgot that she was just a regular family's daughter, anyway... at least in the real story.
Yeah when I mentioned Shrek, I didn't mean the CG, I mean that if you put "Accidentally In Love" on while watching this trailer the only thing missing is an Ogre.
As far as seeing in theater goes, I'll wait for another trailer or two to come out before I make any decision. Making a call on a movie based on the first trailer is just jumping the gun, too many times the first looks great and everyone is all "I gotta see it NOW!" and the second comes out and they're like "Oh, I don't know now...." This first trailer has interested me, but I'll wait to see what else is in the pipes before I decide about the location of viewing.
If you like that, then you need NEED to see The Road to El Dorado. Altivo steals that movie several times.

This is very true, especially since Walt Disney was known for not wanting to do any sequels (and how many good Disney sequels are there?) and they cram 'm out on straight to DVD anyway, knowing that while they (are) suck(ish), they make some quick cash.
[/QUOTE]Just one... too bad it was made by PIXAR.

Seen it. Loved it. Need to go out and own that one.
The difference is that the Looney TUNES characters looked similar because they were all part of the same universe and were constantly appearing together. This is a Disney movie and a Dreamworks movie.
I'm not condemning it for it either, honestly. Other films are as good a place as any to get inspiration for style, imo. However, Shrek had ugly character design, so using IT for reference, is particularly a disappointing call.
That's because you're not the intended audience. :slywink:

Always and forever a dumb point to make.
