We saw Tangled on Thanksgiving, and it was great! I was a bit conflicted about the death of Mother Gothel, though. I knew I would be from the moment three years ago that I learned Disney was making this movie. Mother Gothel acted as a mom to Rapunzel all her life. You'd think the movie couldn't really have a happy ending if the mom died, as she does in the original story. But still, Tangled's story is fun, the characters believable, the colors gorgeous, Rapunzel gorgeous, Flynn gorgeous, the computer animation tolerable, the 3D effects lovely, and the songs nice, if not fantastic. It's absolutely worth seeing.
In this song, I like Flynn's part best. I love how he wants to be ALONE. ;) (Sorry the song quality isn't great and it comes with a video that might spoil a scene if you haven't seen it yet. If you haven't, close your eyes. I couldn't find another video with an embed code.)
Here's a picture of a character from a show called Avatar the Last Airbender.
Heeheeheeheeheeheehee! It's really funny because Zuko (the character pictured) is finally telling his psycho dad off, and he's making important, dramatic statements, but for the first two seasons, his dad's face was hidden in shadow. When we finally saw his face, he didn't look evil or remarkable at all. It really was a let down. But this makes it funny.
Here's a trailer for an adaption of Little Red Riding Hood. I love fairytale adaptions, something about how people find so many creative ways of retelling a single story, something about the magic, something about the singing crabs...although that's mostly The Little Mermaid. I normally hate moody, brooding romance stories, though, because they're usually more cheesy and cliche than touching, and I'm not sure I'll like this Riding Hood adaption. Not sure at all. But I love the song in this trailer.
Let there be blog!
I have created the whole blog in six days, and on the seventh, I rested. Well, I actually created this blog in a little over an hour. And on the seventh...Well, that doesn't really apply now, does it? Seventh what?
Anyway, I created this blog to post pictures and videos in an attractive format. With this, I can rave about stuff, and since I won't be cluttering up inboxes, people don't have to listen to me until they find time and feel like it. I'm very generous to you, I know. Also, now if I blog about something, some video or picture, you have to comment! And you have to comment on that something! Ha! You can no longer refuse to look at what I show you, "forget" to answer me, or avoid my chosen topics by asking me what's up!
Well, I suppose you can. But still. Maybe this way, I'll get more comments on stuff I actually want comments on.
I also created this blog for the fun of creating a blog. So far, I'm happy with it. The picture at the top is Emily from The Corpse Bride. I think her pale blue colors contrast nicely with the pale pink background of the blog. I also had fun renaming the blog parts: Followers, About Me, Posted by, and all that.
Now, to the videos.
Disney has created some really fun featurettes for Tangled, and I wanted to share a couple. There's lots more though, and they're all great.
Here's a trailer for a new Winnie the Pooh movie. This is Disney Studios' first pencil-animated movie since The Princess and the Frog. A lot of people expected Princess and the Frog to usher in a new age of pencil animation, and Disney had plans for another pencil animated fairytale, The Snow Queen, to come out around the time of this new Winnie the Pooh. Princess and the Frog didn't do so well, though, and now Snow Queen might be dead, and as far as I know, there are no plans for other Disney pencil animations. It's probably worst case scenario to say this, but Winnie the Pooh 2011 might be the last pencil animation from Disney. I love the song in this trailer though, and it looks like a cute movie.
