In the early version being developed by director Glen Keane, two teenagers are transported from modern-day San Fransisco into the <em>Rapunzel<\/em> fairy tale and discover that they have to act the parts of the captive, long-haired princess and her rescuer prince. B ut in 2008, Disney&#8217;s incoming chief creative officer John Lassiter ordered a change of story direction and had the title changed from <strong>Rapunzel Unbraided<\/strong> to the one the film now carries. Keane stepped down as director and Byron Howard and Nathan Greno, director and storyboard director of Disney&#8217;s <strong>Bolt<\/strong>, took over.<\/p>\n<p>While you can&#8217;t argue with the success of the finished product, it is interesting to speculate how the film may have looked if it went on its original course. The short pre-viz reel below, doesn&#8217;t give me much hope that it would have been all that great, honestly. (And yes, a previz, or pre-visualization, reel is supposed to look this rough.) The story sounds a bit like a reversed version of <strong>Enchanted<\/strong>, but I think that Keane was on to something with the animation, as we can see from the opening passage through the forest, from the 0:25 to the 1:00 mark. It looks like they&#8217;re combining the look of traditional, hand-painted animation backgrounds with the ability to rotate them through three-dimensions as one would a computer generated model. Hopefully, someone from Disney will look into using that style again, because it is stunning.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"550\" height=\"334\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5SMpL_J2_gc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"550\" height=\"334\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/5SMpL_J2_gc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"\/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120910033244\/http:\/\/www.cartoonbrew.com:80\/disney\/pre-tangled-rapunzel.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cartoon Brew<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Early in its production, the Disney animated film that became known as Tangled was shaping up to be a much different movie than what is currently in theaters.
