Disney Releases TANGLED Trailer, Depressing Us All

The thing about the trailer for Disney’s Tangled is that if you didn’t know that the film was completely focus-grouped within an inch of its life, you’d still guess from the trailer alone. The original idea, years ago, was to do a classic Disney fairy-tale story (Rapunzel was one of the few great fairy tales they’d never done) in 3-D animation. The movie went through director replacements, at least three titles, and revisions to make it more "boy friendly" -- i.e. more like Shrek. And now what’s left is this. It’s why parodies of Hollywood so rarely work: if you made a fake trailer as a parody of what Hollywood thinks of as a hip n’ cool and edgy animated movie, it would probably not match this real trailer.
