Anna vs. rapunzel.

Guys, I know they look similar but Jesus the movie isn’t even out yet! Wait till you see it to judge it! Be proud of Pixar, in close ups of Anna’s face it looks like they have really improved the way they do skin and eyebrows.

GUYS

GUYS

I am getting so fucking mad that people don’t stop to appreciate the subtle differences between these two princesses!!! THEIR EYEBROWS ARE DIFFERENT GUYS, SHIT. Okay, I know Anna is like our nth of infinite White princesses, but goddamnit, LOOK HOW HER CHIN IS ROUNDED WHILE RAPUNZEL’S ISN’T!!! 

Their necks are different widths and no one is taking note!!!

LOOK HOW FUCKING DIFFERENT THEY ARE, OKAY?

IF YOU WANT DIVERSITY, YOU TRY ANIMATING A MOVIE!!!

CHARACTER DESIGN IS HARD!

Come on guys! Their necks have a different circumference! How much more different do you want them to look? How do you fucking expect them to differentiate their character designs? Like, hello, the curve of their chin is at a totally different angle. How else can you make people look different, huh? HOW? 

Fatuity aside, the OP’s picture does cover most of the superficial details.

But no, neither of these models are the same. Similar, not the same.

And unlike animation of yesteryear, this, being a Disney production is at least a

-Concept Designer(s) (I’m guessing a three to 10 person team. For her alone.)
-Character Modeler (1-3 people?)
-Cloth
-Texturer (3 people. At least.)
-Hair (maybe) 
-Character lighter
-Rigger
-Facial Rigger 
-More people I’m forgetting because it’s a bit early in the morning.

This is at least a twenty-artist job over 2-3 years. For her alone. And she hasn’t even moved one joint yet.

But no, that’s not the point of the SARCASTIC CAPS, now isn’t it?

It’s about how she was ORDERED to look by those who had the final say.
Not the directors, the producers, or the concept artists.

The CEOs. The merchandise distributors. The theater owners.
You want someone to chew out about how similar she is to all the rest?

Go after them.  

I have a dozen misgivings about this movie already.
I don’t like the title. I don’t like the story changes. And I’ve been cringing for months at the snowman.

But don’t you dare pick on us.

I dreamt last night that I was under a quilt that had four stories stitched onto it in four colors.
Reading one direction would  tell one story, the last word the same color as the next story in a new direction.
They were light stories, of four characters, four worlds, none my own. Tied to each other with a word.

I don’t remember the plots, but I remember the light nostalgic tone in each I read.

I didn’t get to read the last story.

Beautiful animation and catchy song. Enjoy. :)

Ahh ! this has some lovely moments and is super charming, does anyone know what studio did this ?

Cartoon Saloon, the studio that did The Secret of Kells.

The wacom Intuos 4 is known for having issues with poorly attached mini-USB ports, and my tablet (Intuos 4 Large) finally broke down completely, as explained here wacom wanted hundreds of dollars to fix it.

Being a total newbie and never having soldered anything in my life I still managed…

Reblogging for myself because I absolutely hate my bamboo.
