It's much closer to the 90s Disney films. There is no Shrekkish snark in it at all. They play it straight.<br /><br />"you'll notice that Flynn cites the one line the Rapunzel fairytale is known for: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.' "<br /><br />That scene is one of several things in this trailer that aren't actually in the movie, at least as of the test screening on May 25th.<br /><br />This trailer is an abomination, the work of a deranged marketing department that has somehow become convinced that they'll never be able to sell a classic Disney princess movie, no matter how good it is.<br /><br />Ironically, this little rebranding stunt has turned off most of the people who would REALLY love Tangled. Hopefully the Marketeers have read the comments from all over the internet, have repented of their sins, and are frantically working to correct this fiasco. <br /><br />Cause getting the boys won't help any if they lose everybody else.mawncknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-35528852589242403302010-06-11T13:28:53.815-07:002010-06-11T13:28:53.815-07:00Mr. Koch,

Definitely a Disney feel to it, which is really the first time I've seen that in one of Disney's CG features.
