Huh, it wasn't as sketch it was painted, and pretty lushly I thought. The piece was used not to represent what Tangled really was but just what they wanted people to believe, that it wasn't the classic that was originally Rapunzel but actually some funny slapstick comedy with a kickass thief and horse. So while I think the actual art was good (though Glen's original sketch was better), I agree, what a poor choice, just like the title!SWillie! wrote:Tangled was disgusting. Yes, it's a fun Glen Keane sketch, but it doesn't embody anything about the film itself, and it most certainly is not even close to one of the more impressive pieces of art created for the film. They had so many great images to choose from - the lantern scene, that yellow image of Flynn climbing Rapunzel's hair, the concept piece of the tower... the list goes on. And yet they choose a mediocre sketch at best.
I think the art itself is great, it was one of the pieces that made a lot of us excited for the film, including me. I'm dissapointed nothing from it will bein the film, actually. I mean I'm really dissapointed. But I do agree with the rest of what you said - they need art that actually represents what the film is about, not one land with no characters or story point.SWillie! wrote: And now Wreck-It Ralph... and I may just have to kill something, it's so hideous. That piece of visdev show us nothing about the film - in fact, the art director on Ralph told us at the studio that not a single idea from that piece made it into the final film, with the exception of the broad concept of "candy land racing". The image doesn't show us anything to do with "this film is about video game characters." Hell, with the exception of the face in the logo, it doesn't show us the characters at all! They showed us so much more interesting development work on this film, I seriously can't believe they chose this mediocre-at-best painting to represent the film. Ugly, ugly, ugly.
But did you really say the Winnie the Pooh one with just a zoom in on Pooh's shirt and chin was good? Seriously? Didn't look anything like the film or really represent it or anything. Looked like a baby merchandise image zoomed in.
