I just saw on animated-news.com that Rapunzel Unbraided is still in pre-production and has yet to be greenlit. That surprised me a lot because the way I've been hearing about it, it seemed like it was a definite go. Hopefully it is. Glen Keane is a smart guy, I think he can pull this off.
Anyway, they also reported that Reese Witherspoon and Kristin Chenoweth are in talks to voice characters. For those that don't know, Kristin Chenoweth is the broadway actress currently finishing her hugely successful stint as Glinda the Good Witch in broadway's Wicked (in fact I believe that tonight is her final performance). She also plays Marian in Disney's abc movie The Music Man and Lily St. Regis in Annie. Broadway stars back in Disney animated movies? Yes folks, it's a possibility.
Finally, the composer of the Mulan and Lilo and Stitch sequels may be writing the songs for the project. Sure, it's no Alan Menken, but it still seems like we might be getting a CG musical, so maybe the future of Disney animation won't be as unbearable as we might have expected......then again, it could be even worse.
