So yeah, Disney has released a little teaser for it. Thoughts?
Personally, I'm overjoyed to see a return to 2D. And the traditional musical style, with songs the characters actually sing! Composed by Randy Newman! Oh, and did I mention it's written and directed by the same guys as Aladdin and The Little Mermaid?
I'm so excited. :3
Eh, I'm glad for a new 2D princess movie. I'm more waiting for Rapunzel to start making it's pretty face.
I personally miss the old british fairytale disney movies, this one's suppose to be based in New Orleans and such, it just doesn't appeal to me at all. Yeah I'll see it, but I'm not really stoked about it.
I want to see this movie, but I don't have high expectations for it! =O
I can't stop watching the teaser.
I don't think it's going to be quite up there, but it ought to be pretty good nonetheless.
I'm really looking forward to it. As DMKA said the people working on it are very capable, plus Alan Menken is making the music! Also, just the return to 2D and the fact that it takes place in New Orleans (= jazz) are really cool.
Yay! 2-D!
I'm less than enthused about he New Orleans setting. I'm excited about a black princess, but I wish they would've gone with some traditional African fairytale or something, like they did when they made their Chinese princess (Mulan).
What really pisses me off about this movie, though, is all the crap Disney is getting for it. She stared out as a chamber maid named Maddy, but Disney was forced to change it because people bitched that apparently that job and name aren't good enough for a black person! Fine for all the white princesses (and one Chinese) that had that same position though. Some are bitching that her butt's too big, or her lips are too big. I thought those were good things?! I know I like 'em.
Just pisses me off that we finally get a black princess but you can't read or watch anything about this movie without someone popping up and complaining that it's racist.
Other than that I'm excited though. I hope they start cranking out 2-Ds again.
I agree. It's annoying, really. But then again, it is a sensitive subject and should be handled as one.. which I'm more than sure that Disney is capable of.Quote:

Why is it such a freaking "sensitive subject"?! That's stupid.
Because people have the power to make it one.
Disney did some of the best 2D animation I have ever seen. Ever. I was miffed when I heard they weren't gonna be doing any more and were gonna concentrate on CGI. While the 3D characters are clearly distinguishable as being Disney-style with shadows and a plastic look, it lacks the overall charm and colourful vibrance of their 2D works.
Long may it continue.
YouTube - My RANT about Disney's "The Frog Princess" due out in 2009
Wow, it's almost pathetic that people care this much about a Disney movie.
She looks like a villain! Maybe she'll be in a sequel to The Princess and the Frog. =OQuote:

Hope there's no singing..
Actually no. I'm not interested in this movie really. I'm with Avarice. New Orleans doesn't do it for me. So they can ruin it if they want. So I hope Rapunzel is the one they don't ruin with doofy songs...
