Sigh. All of which makes their next project, "Tangled", that much sadder. I was genuinely excited about it back when it was just "Rapunzel" or "Rapunzel Unbraided": the Glen Keane was working on it, and was promising a new and exciting way of blending 2D with 3D animation. Glen Keane left, the slippery slope, one thing leads to another and then Disney brass got more and more involved, eventually forcing a title and then tonal change to the movie to make it become Tangled.

The trailer actually hurts to look at: they got the colors right, perfectly so, you can sort of see what Keane meant by blending both the two and three dimensions of animation, and most of the backgrounds are perfect: but the tone of it is just trying way too hard to be hip and with the kids. I assume these are snotty, snot-filled kids who spend all their time watching E! and have an IQ of 36. I just hope the trailer isn't a reflection on the whole movie.
