Rapunzel Pic!

[tealin]

First publicly released image from the New and Improved Rapunzel:


CLICK FOR TO MAKE BIGGAR!

This is a piece of concept art by Andy Harkness, not a final still from the movie, though of course they're going to try to make it look like that. There seems to be some confusion: Rapunzel is not going to be 2D. It is a 3D film. A very nice 3D film, but it is 3D, not 2D. No matter how much some people may plead and moan, the directors want it 3D and they're the ones in charge.

Many thanks to floramir for pointing this out, and to aspectabund for posting the BIG one (and some little ones wot you can see in the comments)! Also to Yahoo Movies and the AP for distributing it. Booo to Aint-it-Cool for being slooooow. :P

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. AAAAAAAAAAAH.

:D :D :D :D

It looks like they actually went with common sense and had her attach her hair to a post before letting it down. No falling for this chick!

It looks like they went the pulley route, which still could lead to pain.

Although having that much hair would be painful, wouldn't it? The weight would be immense, the strain on her back...not to mention what brushing must be like. Ah, fairytales, you beautiful things. This is why adulthood sucks; suddenly you're thinking in terms of scoliosis and hair conditioner instead of the beauty of the tale. Darn it.

The awesomeness of this movie will blow all your adult skepticism away! Tra la la! [dances away]

(I am probably going to oversell it till the day it comes out...)

Oooohhhh, Pretty!!!! XD

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

A bigger version!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

GASP, REPLACING MINE!

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's a hook btw. This is actually canon to the Grimm Fairy Tales. :)

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Lol, glad to be service! 8D

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Ah, these too!




All three from theartofglenkeane.blogspot.com btw. Not actually Glen Keane, just posts art of his. Dunno where he got these from tho.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

OMG, neato!

Haha, I love how those bottom ones are obviously taken over his shoulder in a publicity shot... :D

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Hah, I know eh? But hey... we could pretend we're looking over GLEN KEANE'S shoulder, amiright? 8D

[fordanglia.livejournal.com]

Obviously it would be uncomfortable, but the point is that she won't fall out the window.

I see it that she would wrap her hair around something stationary (a post, maybe), leaving the hair between her and the object slack. The tension would be between the post and the climber. Human hair is strong enough, so long as it's held by something stronger than a scalp.

Maybe she has legions of squirrels who groom her hair for her.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm certain that's Glen Keane's shoulder... it's just ... his shoulder, in a picture which is probably supposed to be all about his face. :)

BTW, I'm pretty sure someone else actually drew the tower pic, but we won't spoil their fun. I guess if he's directing it's still kind of his art anyway...

[poisonedwriter.livejournal.com]

That, my friend, is breathtaking.

I'm so glad I've got someone on my friends' page who is just as thoroughly excited about this picture as I am. I don't think you could possibly oversell it.

This is actually canon to the Grimm Fairy Tales.

I saw these pictures earlier in a Disney forum and I went YAAAYYY! I'm so excited about this movie, it brings new aspectos of animation that I'm dying to see, like that canvas effect they're gonna give it or something like that? I can't remember exactly.

And you're like, so near the real action! It must be so exciting! I hope you can tell us little bits of this whenever you can. Oversell this as much as you want!

[wizardelfgirl.livejournal.com]

It is Glen Kleane, I've seen the whole picture. But most people are more interested in what's behind him XD

[phonixa.livejournal.com]

OMG I AM SO EXCITEDDDDDDDD. OMG OMG OMG.

*needs resuscitation*

OKOK. So like. This is a poster for Rapunzel. But the guy looks 2D. OK I AM EXCITED NOW.

Aghhhhh... *firmly hopes to walk those hallowed halls sometime this year*

[azvolrien.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that thar's some nice art.

Sooo... just clearing up, this's gonna be 2D, right? Or sort of 2D characters, 3D backgrounds like in Treasure Planet? Except hopefully better integrated?

[jessikablack.livejournal.com]

There was a first film?
When? Why didn't I know? ^^ Can't have been one of the long ones...
Because, in Disneyland Paris where I'll gladly start working this summer there's a boatride through a kind of garden full of miniature Fairy Tale Sceneries and I've always wondered why Rapunzel's tower was in there... ^^

[verselus.livejournal.com]

This just looks awesome. I'm so glad they've gone back to the original, hand-drawn animation. There is just a classic, more accomplished, time driven feel to it that just makes me appreciate these films a whole lot more.

I was looking at IMDB for this movie and it says that it is a musical (woot!). I know this can change and could be incorrect, but I'm so hoping for the total classic Disney to come back into play. I know this isn't your department there, but do you have any idea who's signed on to do the music?

If you say Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, I may just have to drive down to the studios and start passing out gold stars personally. :)

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Nope, 3D, through and through. This would just be a bit of concept art, I would hazard. But Glen Keane has said that he wants it to have that sort of 2D feel to it. Here's a much passed-about shot of Rapunzel, to show you: http://gallery.awn.com/data/521/Rapunzel-Unbraided.jpg

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

You know what interests me most about the tower pic? It looks digitally done in the close up of the guy. I dunno, I'm probably too used to my Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Prince of Egypt "The Art of" books, where the concept art's all acrylic or oil or watercolour or goauche. XD

[dried-frog-pill.livejournal.com]

Ooooo it looks very very awesome. Can't wait until it's released!! *___*

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

It's not 2D. I repeat, RAPUNZEL IS NOT 2D. This is a piece of concept art, not a still from the movie. There are no stills from the movie.
