so, on the topic of animation and getting that "hand-drawn look," can someone school me on why the animation style used in the c.g.i. segments of FUTURAMA aren't utilized more? how much of that was hand-drawn? would they have to have a large base of hand-drawn imagery that could then be manipulated in a computer?
i guess i'm trying to figure out why, presuming they can use computers to animate things that really look hand-drawn, they'd go with a pixar style but keep trying to get that hand-drawn "feel." why not just do something that is closer aesthetically to hand-drawn? what's the point?

I don't thnk it looks good at all, it's painfully obvious it's CG.

I always hoped someone would make a 2D animation that would look like that. It would take tons of time per frame to draw, but I thought maybe for a short movie it would be possible, or using some 2D software that would know how to help animate details and gradients from one keyframe to another.
Also, I know it's a very old clip, but I'm not as happy with how that clip from Rapunzel looks like. Her face and eyes look more like a doll, toy, than a stylized live person.
This is a somewhat old picture, but it totally has that look going on:
That promo pic seems to indicate that the movie doens't look like this anymore though...

Insane For Sony
That's pretty amazing and exactly like what I was thinking of. I agree that the promo picture doesn't quite look like that, but it's an interior scene, so the lighting and bloom would be different there. They also definitely changed her face to be somewhat more cg-typical, but maybe they just realized they wanted her to look older for a movie that's obviously going to have some romance going on. Or maybe that picture was a "target render" of sorts that was enhanced to add some of the 2D look manuallyjett said:I don't thnk it looks good at all, it's painfully obvious it's CG.

It's been renamed again to "Tangled"

Wonder what brought about the name change (not liking it btw)? This reminded me that I saw these at Hollywood Studios last May:

That sounds like a Dreamworks title. Good jon, Disney

From my understanding this is what happened:
Disney created and promptly ruined the princess brand over the last ten years.
Then, Disney tried to market the Princess and the Frog strictly as a princess movie.
It didn't bring in as many people as they would have liked, blame is placed on it only targeting the young girls who buy into the princess brand.
Rapunzel is renamed in a feeble attempt to avoid that from happening again.

What was "Rapunzel" too classic sounding?
There's been all sorts of talk that The Princess and the Frog's title was partially to blame for its performance. Basically, the word "princess" wasn't doing them any favors and ever since that started floating around, a Rapunzel retitling was completely expected. Disney's afraid that feminine/girly titles are going to keep some people away.ErnieMcCracken said:
Ideally, they should go back to using Rapunzel Unbraided. Tangled is generic, and inevitably just a lame punchline at the end of all the marketing videos.
*I'm not saying I buy any of that, just that's been the word on the street from everyone.

That looks so aesthetically pleasing. I hope this is successful.

Terrible name change. How in the hell is that even better from a marketing standpoint. One would think Rapunzel is more easily recognizable/identifiable. Maybe this change was due to Princess and the Frog's performance, but even it grossed $100 million+

The new name sounds bad to me, but I like the art style!

Now this looks awesome. The promo pic on the first page looks pretty meh. Now with the new named "Tangled" I officially don't care about this anymore.
