Tangled (formerly Rapunzel)

[CGIFanatic]

Okay, maybe not would but it could.

Actually, it's not out of the question for Despicable Me to have gotten it. After all, it was nominated for the Producer's Guild Award and it was an extremely well-received film by both critics and the public.

I do think Tangled would have gotten that fourth slot, though.

[EricJ]

The Academy announces NOW that they are allowing up to four nominations even if their are only 13 to 15 movies released that year, and 15 came out last year...but only three got to be nominated! So if Tangled had only been released next year...it would have been nominated! Argghhhh!!!!

It is only now that I realize, I guess it does mean the Academy still didn't think Tangled was good enough to take one of the three spots.

I'm....missing a key gap in logic, there , but if this were back on the Oscars thread, I think it's because they expect a good number of animateds to continue, and they want a set figure that they don't have to spend time debating it every year.
(And if Tangled had been released this year, it probably would have WON, with only Cars2 as its closest competition....Now there's something to beat your head over. )

[Ben]

Not, of course, that any of us have actually seen Cars 2...

From the D23 Expo (spoilers for Tangled!)

[EricJ]

(Thought it said "Forever After", but they haven't done the second or third movie yet!)

[Ben]

That's...um...not real is it?

What a shame...

[Bill1978]

I had a slight different response Ben, but only because I thought maybe I would be getting more Alan Menken songs.

From what I can gather, it is not a full length movie for theatres but more of a short movie to be shown on TV.

[Macaluso]

It's just a short film, not a sequel, so it's not a big deal. I do wish they had just left it alone though.

[Bill1978]

From that image, I'm assuming it will be a fill in movie covering the part from Rapunzel meeting her parents to when he marries Flynn. I imagine there will be plenty of high jinx to be had.

[Ben]

Ahh, not so bad, no. Looks like it might be a "race to the church" type thing, what with that archbishop in the corner.

[Dusterian]

I think it looks great except I swear I've seen those same images before and they're just altered slightly.

I'm glad they are doing a little short of their further adventures. It shows the happily ever after, it gives us a sequel, but doesn't make a full-length film that will ruin it and go so against what Walt said.

Of course, it should say "Rapunzel Ever After".

[EricJ]

Ahh, not so bad, no. Looks like it might be a "race to the church" type thing, what with that archbishop in the corner.

I agree, that's pretty likely--
There's a ceremony where Rapunzel will be "officially inducted" into the "club" of Disney Princesses, where it will also be worked into the story that she officially married Flynn.
I'm assuming they're going for the synergy tie-in here, and making the wedding the 'between-quel" story.

(And guessing this'll probably be TV special for timeliness, not to mention taking a page out of DW's Shrek-special book...The rule was, no feature sequels on DVD, but nothing said about TV specials.)

[Dacey]

I'm still not sure what "source" Eric is talking about whenever he refers to this "rule" that Disney has regarding animated sequels. I can't find anything "official" anywhere on it.

Anyway, looking forward to the short. I'm sure it'll be fun.

Interest in the original has been booming with the current state of things.
