Please excuse me whilst I go ..... *YAWN*

Seriously, Disney, what's with all the cliches? An arrogant rebel schmuck? Yeah, we've never seen that before. In fact, I still think you ripped off his design from Tulio from Road to El Dorado.

The princess is your usual 'Oppressed but longing for freedom' type. Where have we seen that before? Oh, I KNOW. How about almost every Disney movie that has come out since 1990? Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahantas, Mulan, you name it, they've all done the 'We want more from life' jazz. In Disney terms, that usually means 'we get to pretend to want a more fulfilling life whilst secretly, all we want is a hubby to take care of us'.

Also, WTF is up with that hair? Does it have a mind of its own? That's just creepy.
Not to mention, I would expect that hair *that* long would hurt like a bitch. Okay, okay, I know that Rapunzel is suppose to have ridiculously long hair but I can't actually imagine anyone walking around with hair that long. Wouldn't it be all over the place? The poor girl would be living in a house filled with stray hairs. It's be like a house made of yarn, except with hair.

BTW Am I the only one going WTF at the possibility of these two hooking up? It hasn't been hinted at in the trailer but as it's Disney, you know it'll be there. But to me, Rapunzel looks underaged. I'm guessing her age at around 16. The thief looks like he is in his 20's for sure. So those two hooking up.... EEWW!!

I'm happy to see that the amount of animal sidekicks has gone down. The horse is fine tho I'm a bit confused as why a cameleon would be living in a European-style forest. He just looks a bit out of place IMO. Still, I can't complain too much. At least, they're not talking nonsense.

Please, Diseny, do something original for once!!

rant, disney
