Tangled Teaser Trailer #2

By Peter ScirettaJune 10, 2010 10:11 am EST

Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a new teaser trailer for their 50th full-length animated feature Tangled.

Directed by Byron Howard & Nathan Greno (the co-director and head of story on Bolt respectively), this new telling of the classic fairy tale Rapunzel (the original title of the film), will transport audiences "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." The lead heroine is voiced by Mandy Moore while Chuck's Zachary Levi will play a "dashing bandit" named Flynn Ryder who hits the road with the "rebellious, teenage hair apparent."

I'm definitely digging the watercolor/storybook-look they are employing with this new film. And the trailer is definitely playing up the prince's character, likely in an effort to appeal to more boys. Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.

The voice cast also includes Donna Murphy, Ron Perlman, M.C. Gainey, Jeffrey Tambor, Brad Garrett, and Paul F. Tompkins. Here are some new images from the film which Disney has released along with the new teaser trailer:

Previous director Glen Keane developed a new look for this computer animated film, which is said to look and feel more like a traditional hand-drawn Disney Classic, but in 3D. Apparently the film uses a non-photorealistic rendering technique which will make the surface look like it is painted but still containing depth and dimensions. The movie's visual style is being based on French Rococo artist Jean-Honore Fragonard's painting "The Swing".

A short clip of test footage was shown at Siggraph 2005, where is gained a lot of attention. Earlier concept images had been previously posted online from when the project was titled Rapunzel Unbraided. But the project has since been completely revamped. You can see some concept art from the film here and here. You can read an early reader review here. And you can watch the previously released teaser trailer below:

Walt Disney Pictures presents "Tangled," one of the most hilarious, hair-raising tales ever told. When the kingdom's most wanted—and most charming—bandit Flynn Rider (voice of Zachary Levi) hides out in a mysterious tower, he's taken hostage by Rapunzel (voice of Mandy Moore), a beautiful and feisty tower-bound teen with 70 feet of magical, golden hair. Flynn's curious captor, who's looking for her ticket out of the tower where she's been locked away for years, strikes a deal with the handsome thief and the unlikely duo sets off on an action-packed escapade, complete with a super-cop horse, an over-protective chameleon and a gruff gang of pub thugs. In theaters this holiday season in Disney Digital 3D™, "Tangled" is a story of adventure, heart, humor and hair—lots of hair.
