Disney's New "Tangled" Poster & Featurette

Here's our first look at the new poster for Disney's animated film Tangled, courtesy of ComingSoon: 

Formerly known as Rapunzel - the name change happened after last year's disappointing box office of The Princess and The Frog left Disney execs worried that another animated film with a princess reference in the title would again scare little boys right out of the theater -  Tangled is still the story of Rapunzel, the haircut-deprived princess who has spent her life locked in a tower by an evil witch.  She's ultimately discovered by a dashing young prince (naturally) and together they find a way to escape the witch and the tower and live happily ever after.

I was not particularly impressed by the first trailer when I saw it in front of Toy Story 3 last month.  First of all, I loved The Princess and the Frog and thought it was a real return to form for classic Disney animation, so I was a little disappointed to see this was going to be another CG animated film, which I think in Disney's case is best left to Pixar.  Secondly, I hated that the trailer was all about the prince.  I get the whole title-change thing, but the trailer seemed more Shrek than Rapunzel. 

But the featurette that was also released today has relieved my worries about the film a little bit.  The animation looks quite beautiful and the movie actually does look much more fairytale-like now.

Tangled arrives in theaters in both 2D and 3D formats on November 24th.
