Promo from Disney:
“n this new telling of the classic fairy tale, audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair… lots of hair, when Rapunzel unleashes her locks in theaters for the 2010 holiday.”

Walt Disney’s animated movie Rapunzel is directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard. The film is scheduled for a release on December 24, 2010. So I already know what Christmas movie I’ll go watch next year.

Walt Disney is bringing another classic to life: the movie Rapunzel, based on the classic German fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm, is indeed being produced. It will be a CGI animated movie, but Disney intends indeed to create the impression of a drawing, non-photorealistic rendering is going to be used, making the surface look like it is painted but still containing depth and dimensions.

The movie Rapunzel is set for a release on Christmas 2010.

Here below two concept arts of the movie Rapunzel:

Plot:
“After a retooling, the film will be based again on the literary origins of the famous fairy tale, in the veins of Classics like ‘Snow White’ and ‘Cinderella’: described as a traditional, character-driven fairy tale it will speak to a modern audience, with a different new style of its own.”

I guess many women would kill to know Rapunzel’s secret to have so long silky golden hair. Maybe it will be revealed in the movie Rapunzel!
