About late 2009. They're aiming for a Christmas release.

Thanks for posting that info, veu! From the character description, it sounds like Bastion might wind up being the Prince's name in this film.

I don't know about that. Maddy (of The Frog Princess) was Tiana's name when they put out voice ads. So, his name could easily change, though I like Bastion.

No, Disney DACs are definitely a winter thing when families go to the movies together when everybody is off work school. Much nicer like that.
Ariel's Beginning is a freakin' sequel, so that doesnt' count.

I liked Rapunzel's old logo better, without Unbraided of course. Disney's Divinity's right, it looks too much like Enchanted's logo. Here's the old and new compared:

I also like the old tower much better. It was far more creative, gave Rapunzel more room atop the tower, and was cheerier. All this make more sense for a motherly witch who wants to keep her adopted daughter happy. Also, Rapunzel's new tower looks much more...phallic, which goes along with the Freudian idea of Rapunzel being trapped in one - which is not a good idea. The old and new compared:

I think the change to the tower signifies that Disney is making the witch from the story into the villain; which makes perfect sense if you ask me. Once she banishes Rapunzel to the forest (probably to die) the prince will discover she is alive and go on a rescue mission to save her, while the witch attempts to thwart him. Kinda like a combo of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty premises.

I really hope they keep the Prince's blindness in the movie. I know it would make me root for him more if he's attempting to rescue her without the sense of sight. It could also be used as a tool for sight-gags (no pun intended).

I also really wish they would keep Rapunzel's pregnancy in the movie, but come on, this is Disney afterall.

I actually like the newer version of the tower better. If the witch is meant to be a villain, then the tower should be menacing vs. the light-hearted atmosphere of the original design. And, if the tower is phallic, then that's a step forward for Disney. You'd expect the female part to portray the evil (see Ursula's Lair). It also creates multitudes of symbolism/subtext, which is never a bad thing.
