Well,

It appears that Rapunzel which was in development a long time before FP was even thought of has been pushed back to 2010.

March 8 (Bloomberg) -- Walt Disney Co., owner of Pixar animation studio, will release ``The Frog Princess'' in 2009 in a return to the hand-drawn movie format the company had ceased producing.

``The Frog Princess,'' set in New Orleans, will be directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, who made ``The Little Mermaid'' and ``Aladdin.'' The film, based on the pair's original story, features Maddy, Disney's first African-American princess, Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter said.

``We're going back to hand-drawn animation,'' Lasseter told investors at Burbank, California-based Disney's annual meeting in News Orleans today. ``This movie is going to be classic Disney and yet you have never seen this before.''

I wonder if this has any repercussions for Rapunzel. I would prefer them to eventually have WDAS to do all the 2D movies but after seeing Rapunzel test footage I hope this one remains 3D.

Whatchathink?

I agree, that Rapunzel test footage from YouTube looked AWESOME. I can't wait for Frog Princess for a number of reasons inlcuding to see how she is incorporated to NOS at DL.

My niece, who is a HUGE princess fan and named Madison herself will be delighted to know that SHE is now a REAL princess.

Glen keane may not be director of this much longer you never know should catmull decide to go to 2d... Keane was really excited to do 3d but we will see what happens. , in reference to Rapunzel

It will be interesting to see if anything happens to NOS alot of live streetmosphere stuff i guess for one but space wise unless they lose shop space there isnt much room for attractions..

^Well, yeah. I figured entertanment wise and if she'd have a character meet n' greet area.

Awesome pics. I never heard of this website before. There are a lot of cool pics there. Not just the Frog Princess, but Midway Mania and some other stuff. Neat!

I can't wait to see Frog Princess, I wish we could just forward to it and forget about American Dog.
