It looks... entertaining?
I guess? Something is off. 
Yeah. What Buge said. It's a bit too Shrekish.

I don't know. Looks like a lot of "LOLZ. Spunky princess and hunky funny man on ADVENTuREZ"

Wow. The Princess and The Frog must have really bombed right the fuck out for them to be so scared of princesses.

I get the feeling that this is a case of the ol' bait and switch, trying to make the movie look as Dreamworks-esque as possible when in fact it's probably typical-Disney movie stuff.

Actually, they are downplaying the 'princess' aspect of the movie for that very reason. 'cause y'know, only girls will see a movie whose main character is a girl.

I haven't seen anything to convince me that non-Pixar Disney CG is much different than Dreamworks anyway.

It's the god damned pop song in the trailer.

When they put a pop song in the trailer it's a big flashing sign that says "THIS MOVIE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO US."

I'm kind of rusty on the Rapunzel thing, all I remember is that it had a dude climbing a girl's hair, but I don't recall anything about the chick being Millia Rage.

in other news the gates of disney fetish porn have just opened a little wider

This is pretty much exactly what happened. Disney realized that they lost basically the entire demographic of young boys when they made Princess And The Frog so they're deliberately re-tooling this one to be as non-princess-centric as possible. Notice that almost the entire trailer is about the dashing young prince and that Rapunzel herself gets one line of dialogue.

for the record i have been super excited about rapunzel on animation style alone and the new trailer basically punched me in the balls.  in case that, uh, wasn't clear from how ball-punchingly bad the trailer is.

Disney spent the last decade putting out shitty, direct-to-DVD sequels and boring ass live-action summer movies one after the other that they've pretty much forgotten how to make a good, original movie.  It's no surprise that when confronted with the opportunity to create an innovative animated film they decide to backpedal and copy everything that is popular/horrific about the Shrek films.  Hell, their much celebrated "return to traditional animation" was one hour of beautiful, painstaking animation of two frogs walking through a swamp.

It's clear at this point that Disney just has no idea how to make a decent film and are reaching for anything to get back on top of the family film heap.

And, you know, the title is not "Rapunzel".

This makes me a little less apprehensive about Tangled, but I still can't understand why, if it seems like it fits into the 'classic' mold, they made the trailer so obnoxious.

THAD DE-FUCKHEAD EDIT: "This" is an article where somebody says the rough cut of the movie is pretty great.

Perhaps their obnoxious marketing is an attempt to snag the obnoxious demographic? I hear it encompasses most children.

Pulling an animation studio away from the lowest common denominator is one thing.

Pulling a marketing department away...

Pretty much the deal is that eight-year-old boys didn't flock to the last princess movie so Disney panicked, changed the title of this one, and made the trailer look like Shrek 8: Let's Just Get This Ogre With.
