 Post subject: Rapunzel Unbraided theory
PostPosted: November 2nd, 2005, 5:16 pm 
okay I noticed the Rapunzel Unbraided pictures and plot news on the main page and suddenly something struck me about its story. Over wich I've been kinda confused for some time now. However, I think I've been able to put the pieces together:

The main page says:

Quote:
The Disney Power Board displays ten new pictures connected to Disney's Rapunzel Unbraided. Along with an updated look at the film's title art and title character, the images also reveal screencaps taken from a convention Glen Keane held at the Gobelins school in Paris, during last April. There, Keane specified that the main character of Rapunzel Unbraided will be Claire and the name of her prince will be Vincent. In addition, her castle will be part of the Mont Saint Michel in France, in the middle of the sea. Rapunzel Unbraided will enchant audiences in November 2008.


okay, so two characters with different names from the original story get caught up in the classic fairytale. (rings a bell).

Plot Summary Rapunzel Unbraided From IMDB.com:

Quote:
Sick to death of storybook endings where true love conquers all, a frustrated witch brings two romantically-challenged teenagers from the real world into the classic fairytale, and transforms them into the legendary long-haired heroine and her gallant prince.


okay, so real world/fairytale world? Does this imply Rapunzel will be a combination between live action and animation. Isn't that what 'Enchanted' was about, the Alan Menken project about a wicked witch and a New Yor girl travelling from animation to live action? Have the two projects been merged or something?

Plot Summary for Enchanted from IMDB.com:

Quote:
When she falls in love with a prince, a peasant girl who is banished from her animated kingdom by the evil queen. She winds up in the very real New York City, where she falls in love with someone else, though her prince -- and the queen -- are heading her way.


sounds about right :)

well, with the latest news on Enchanted on the main page, it looks like this project is finally gonna happen. Very happy about that because I've been wanting to see this made ever since I first heard about it. Hope Alan Menken is also still on.

Anway, in the article it said the film will combine live action with classical animation. What does this mean? Is Down Under doing traditional animation on this one? I know it's being directed by Kevin Lima, who did Goofy Movie and Tarzan. I remember Tarzan was originally planned as an outsourced project like Goofy Movie, but was later moved to Feature Animation in the US. So could Kevin Lima have gotten the overseas studios to do the 2d animation work on this film? Or is this all a big misunderstanding and will it be CG?... I mean that would suck.

Down Under is dead... External studios will probably do the traditional animation.
