On our recent trip (earlier this month), we spotted a movie poster in Hollywood Studios in meet and greet area of the animation spot for a Rapunzel movie. The other coming soon attration posters were all legit (things that we have heard about coming soon), so is this a movie that is in the works?

This year, actually.
The slate for Disney animation is
Feb, 2010 Beauty and the Beast 3D
June, 2010 Toy Story 3
Holiday, 2010 Rapunzel
The real question of the year is which animated film breaks the all time record for animation - Shrek 4 or Toy Story 3.

Beauty and the Beast, sadly, has been placed on hiatus. If it is released, it will be next year.

Yeah, makes sense considering it's already January and there's been no word of it.

Yep. Rapunzel is the next film from Walt Disney Animation Studios. It's a CGI film directed by Bryon Howard and Nathan Greno(Howard was co-director of Bolt and Greno was story director for Bolt). Animator Glen Keane was one of the original directors, but he stepped down. He remains on the project as excutive producer and animation director(I think).
The music will done by Alan Menken with lyrics by Glen Slater. Menken said that the music is going to be 60's rock inspired, which sounds intresting. It's scheduled to be released on November 24, 2010.

Thanks for all of the input! I love that we have become Disney lovers and each of our trips we see something new! We had not noticed these coming attraction posters before. Fun!:animwink:

One more thing to add. They have Mandy Moore as Rapunzel voice.

Toy Story. Shrek is tired...I have no idea why they did a 3rd or a 4th.
Really looking forward to that..

Between this, The Frog Princess, the fantasyland expansion, and the fact that one of the most talented storytellers of this generation is large and in charge (I'm looking at you, lasseter), I could definitely see another Disney Renaissance taking place.
I know a lot of griping has been done over TDO and such, but when you consider the fact that they're basically making a new land (Fantasyland) in the midst of the worst economical situation in this country since arguably the great depression, I think they're doing okay.
My one and only complaint, if you could call it that, is with Epcot (shocking). Not so much the usual whining about 30 year old attractions that no longer exist, with due respect of course, but just the lack of Futureworld Identity. There is such an abundance of 'weak links' - Universe of Energy is a shambles, despite the awesome retro colour scheme, Test Track is a monument to '90s management stupidity, Imagination is an unspeakable disaster masquerading as a gift shop, and Nemo just doesn't belong at all, as awesome as the dark ride is. But I'm not trying to lambast anything here. I'm just saying that overall, I've had nothing but positive guest experiences, personally, for close to a decade of visiting (the 'new' period of visiting the parks since my childhood). Rapunzel is evidence to the truth that Disney is heading in the right direction, to me anyway.

They ought to put the thinking that went into Project tomorrow into the entirety of future world.

Shrek anything makes Dreamworks Animation.. it could be Shrek goes to college, Shrek goes to the mall, Shrek and the million dollar question, people will go and see it.. It is not as "timeless" as non pop culture movies, but pop culture makes money for the time being... though the 4th movie is titled Shrek: The Final Chapter (Or Shrek Forever After)... but they have spin offs to be made :brick:

Since were on this topic of beauty and the beast, rapunzel etc,,,,was just wondering has the Diamond Editon line of bluray and dvds been canceled? Because it was suppose to be Fantasia and beauty and the beast after snow white for 2010, and I thought fantasia was suppose to be released in february or early spring, but there has been no word on these at all. So far Disney has only announced dvds of alice in wonderland and the great mouse detective in march. But nothing on a Diamond title.

The first film is more timeless than the others... as the first film was more a direct parady of fairy tails using minimal pop culture... (I do love the deleted scene in the cave though)... the others tend to use much more pop culture versus fairy tails.

I was really hoping for a trailer before PatF, but no luck. I am guessing they will put one out with the DVD release though. Maybe with Dumbo.
