Not even King of the Elves?

It has also been cancelled AND it wasn't 2D but CGI anyway.

The Rapunzel movie has officially changed name to Tangled. o_O

Yes, just what I announced in the previous AS news.

I think the princess and the frog didn't get a good enough introduction in other countries. In Iceland it was only shown in Icelandic which is horrible since there are alot of Icelandic fan who love the orginal english version. I sent a mail at the company who brought the princess and the frog to Iceland and demanded it to be shown in English. They showed it in english for only one week in a tiny place but there were always a full show.

I hate how they think it's only for children Dx

Well it did have a good marketing campaign here in France (and still does) though it doesn't air in original english version (but no Disney film does!)

And it's getting more success internationally than in the US already (135M$ compared to 100M$) and it hasn't aired everywhere yet.

* A story person related: "The main lot decided now was not the right time for another Princess movie, which is what they considered Snow Queen to be. That's why it was put aside. John Lasseter hopes at some point it can still get made ..." [But that's why they changed Rapunzel's name, yes? To get away from the curse of "girl" movies? You know, like Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid?*)

And nobody I talked to knows how many hand-drawn projects (if any) will be happening after Winnie the Pooh wraps up the end of the year.

"There's several people working on projects to pitch, but so far nothing's been greenlit. Chris Buck is working on another feature idea [after Snow Queen], but that's going to be CGI ..."

I see.

I hope disney makes 2D animated films again, highly unlikely though. Because they are picky >.<

Well that's silly, the only two things that make P&TF and Snow Queen a "princess movie" is that they have plot references to a princess character. Lame.

About Rapunzel, err I mean Tangled :

They're in fact trying to make it as anti-Princess movie by chucking in some "girl power" or some rubbish, or so Wiki has said for a while.

Guh... all of this and they're also trying to make it 3D painting pretty.

I think someone's spent too much time in that tower.. :shock:

she and Shrek's Fiona could have some nice stories together :p...

Happily N'ever after and Hoodwinked left out the names of their title charcters in the title and only did kinda o.k at the box office.. I wonder if Disney's looking for another Shrek :-|

Actually they WERE trying to do a Shrek rip-off, but they struggled to get the film done, and the years have passed so now the film should be a bit different from the "Rapunzel Unbraided" original project.

hmmm.. well, I think Hoodwinked and Happily N'ever After had at least one person who had worked on Shrek or Shrek 2 work on those movies.. even Princess and the Frog is almost Shrek-like..

what's the point in putting all that effort into planning the movie to then suddenly cancel it?
they shouldn't have decided to make the movie if they were just going to cancel it!
Disney are getting on my nerves, with all their CGI and 3D stuff! :-x

This sort of things happens very often. Many films get revamped completly before their release (recent example : Bolt) or get cancelled. That doesn't mean the project won't reappear one day or another.
