OK, seriously, somebody PLEASE do something stupid so that I can make a "hate" blog.
Is Disney actually *gasp* releasing, not one, but TWO upcoming animated features featuring classic mythological princesses? I must be dreaming. Somebody pinch me. On top of that, they will be done in traditional hand-drawn style, which could possibly make a comeback after all these years of CG animation. I'm not going to say hand-drawn has more effort put in, because they're both painstaking works of art, but a new 2D movie will be refreshing.
Not including the Simpson's Movie, the last 2D feature I went to go see in the theatre was 2002's "Lilo and Stitch." That was six, soon to be seven, years ago.
Although, I WILL say that "Delgo" looks like the prettiest animated feature in a while. Perhaps I'll check that out when it's available for rent.
2009's "Princess and the Frog" will have music composed by Disney veterans, Randy Newman and Peter Del Vecho. It's written by John Musker and Ron Clements, the same people who handled a number of movies during the 1990's "Disney Renaissance." (also known as Disney's Big Business Boom) I have faith that these talented individuals will put together an enjoyable Disney film, which I will, NO DOUBT see in the theatre. (Encourage Disney's good projects, not their sequels. Companies will only produce what makes cash.)
I don't know as much about 2010's "Rapunzel," but I'm a little disappointed, as the handy-dandy Wikipedia has informed me that Rapunzel will be CG.
How weird would THAT look? A CG Rapunzel next to the other 2D animated Disney gals. I guess it could teach us something like "it's OK to be different." ;P
Ariel: Hmm... there's something about the new girl I just can't quite put my finger on.
Jasmine: She's 3 dimensional.
Belle: But, I'm regarded as a 3 dimensional character.
Tania (to frog): You're SURE it's a kiss on the lips?
Aurora: I think I've seen her once upon a dream...
Jasmine: You have dreams in three dimensions?
Feminists Everywhere: *FACEPALM*
This is why I should be President (of the Disney Company)
