I’d wait for the new trailer to re-decide. It does feel like a different movie. Much funnier.
Even the characters look is updated. The cape seems to be in all the sequences.

Here’s the leaked video of the new trailer if you wanna see it: .

To me this doesn’t indicate the movie has been retooled that much. The mom character is still there and her voice-over appears to still be a motivation. Still seems like much of the same movie from the first teaser. But I guess we’ll see when we get more trailers later in the year.

I'm sorry its not an art style you like, but I think the visuals look fantastic."IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL"

My memory is fickle, the mom character did appear! I just thought the voice over was Zoey the entire time.
Though we had a long opening segment with the translator blob thing, that was made for D23.

Interestingly, the Teaser Trailer still lists the premiere as March 1st 2024.

That is because that is the old teaser from over a year ago.
They haven't updated it yet, and I suspect they won't probably until we get closer to the June 2025 release, such as maybe with a new trailer with Moana 2.

I know it's old, but they could've easily removed the March 1st 2024 date once it became clear that wasn't the release.

YES!
FINALLY.
Against all odds, we have our 2nd teaser trailer for my most anticipated film of 2025 and NOT the remake of Snow White.
My thanks to Bob Iger for getting my message in my video last night to FINALLY market #Elio again, if he saw it that is. Now let’s make sure he brings back long-form, fully 2D/hand-drawn animated projects at Walt Disney Animation Studios, starting with turning #Tiana’s #DisneyPlus series from a #Paperman-style animated series into a fully hand-drawn animated theatrical sequel to #ThePrincessAndTheFrog for Holiday 2029, if #Moana2 makes the money its projected to make after going from a sequel series on #DisneyPlus to being turned into a theatrical sequel.

Yes I'm sure your video had something to do with it.
I like the animation style for Paperman, so am not opposed to them using it more for any new series including for Tiana.

Yeah, sorry, but since Disney is hiring interns for 2D animation cleanup for future projects, I prefer Tiana be hand-drawn animated.Yes I'm sure your video had something to do with it.

I know you're being optimistic but Disney hiring interns does not prove anything about Tiana, or any other future project. It just means they hired interns, but its unknown how many or for what project. For all we know this could be for something else entirely like maybe just a bunch of new shorts for an unrelated project.
But to go back to what I was saying, I just wish that Disney would use the Paperman animation style in ANYTHING.

It is weird that they could’ve done it for Wish, and yet didn’t and kinda half-assed it.

Well I wouldn't say that, I would say they went with a different style, one that looked visually nice but didn't work for many people.
My understanding is that the animation "engine" used for Paperman was insanely expensive in practice just for a short, which is why they've never used it again and certainly not for a feature-length project.
I'm not sure why Disney would turn the Tiana series (if it's even still a thing, given the lack of talk) into a feature even if Moana 2 is a billion-dollar hit. Moana 2 becoming a feature in the first place was because it's a wildly popular movie that's only become more so over the years via streaming, making it an easy choice to convert in the wake of trying to save face after Wish. The Princess and the Frog has its fans, but it's never had the kind of popularity Moana has, and I don't think there's that much untapped demand for a sequel. It hasn't even been shortlisted for a live-action remake!

Actually it has been shortlisted for a remake.
And just because The Princess and the Frog doesn’t have Moana-level popularity doesn’t mean it wasn’t a success in its own right when it made $271M worldwide (on par with Lilo & Stitch) against a $65-$105M budget.

Everything I've read has PatF at 105mil budget. So Even with a low marketing budget (I remember it getting a lot of push) it didn't make profit in the theatrical run. I'm as big a supporter of the film as there is. There wasn't many people besides me here pushing for a ride after it came out. But success in its own right is kind of a stretch. In reality it was the final nail in the 2d coffin.
