As always, the animation looks great. There seems to be a strong focus on the male character. Probably to attract a male audience. I get the feeling that by creating a dashing thief, there just gonna attract more girls...

I didn't know the title had been changed to "Tangled". That's actually pretty cute.

I wish they hadn't shown the hair beating scene in the trailer because it was a hilarious surprise that would have had more impact if I saw it in the actual movie. Oh well.

Changing the prince into a thief was a clever twist. That male lead is total fangirl bait!

Rapunzel comes across as very goofy. It would be cool if she was the "slapstick" character to the thief's "straight man" because you don't see a lot of female characters being wacky in these types of films (and the ones that do are always kids or old matron types).

Yeah, I think it would have made a nice surprise. But considering that not showing that probably limits what else they can show in trailer scenes, it's kindoff understandable they did I suppose.

I would like a goofier girl. I loved Charlotte in the princess and the frog. I wanted her to have a silly song! But she never did!

I was also bummed that Charlotte didn't get to sing. Her voice actress is a broadway star; they should have taken advantage of that!

Jane (from Tarzan) is the only other "goofy girl" that comes to mind. She didn't have the traditional "pretty Disney-Girl face", so she had a good variety of unusual facial expressions.

I KNOW! I was fully expecting her to sing too, because of her actress. Ah, can you imagine, a little duet between her and Tiana, about friendship. They could have done that for the sad "almost there" reprise, while Charlotte is giving her a dress. One sings about loosing her dream and the other about almost gaining it or something (her dream being... naveen's princy pants). Then at the end, cheery charlotte exists, then clues in a bit that Tiana is sad. Pauses. Asks "are you sure you're okay honey?" Tiana reassures her, she fixes her boobs, adds the "back in the fray" line and exists, leaving Tiana to discover froggy!Naveen. See, it fits, right there! RIGHT THERE.
