Typically, when a new animated film is released, I post some artwork in case anyone’s out looking for that sort of thing.

Film stills, development art, and character art await… Continue reading Tangled!! Photos! Here! Rapunzel! Flynn Rider! Maximus! Pascal!
After a decade of troubled development, Disney Feature Animation’s take on the Rapunzel fairy tale finally arrived in theaters last fall. Despite near-constant meddling from executives and marketing mavens during those long years, Tangled scored a hit with both critics and audiences, and is one of the most thoroughly satisfying offerings from Disney animators in years. While it took Tangled‘s sizable domestic and international box office take to offset the massive costs incurred by a decade of endlessly rebooted production, the fact is that the film was a big hit – which makes it all that much more confusing that its home video release (available on DVD Continue reading Progress City Home Theater: Tangled One of the kookiest things to pop up online lately is this pre-visualization reel for Rapunzel Unbraided, one of the earlier incarnations of the film now known as Tangled.
