Walt Disney Studios has released a new concept art rendering and logo art from their upcoming Christmas 2010 animated feature film Rapunzel. Click on the image to see it in super high resolution. It should be noted that the image below is an older image of Rapunzel, before they revamped (the project was originally titled Rapunzel Unbraided).
Directed by Glen Keane and Dean Wellins, this new telling of the classic fairy tale, 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.”
Director Glen Keane wants this computer animated film to look and feel like a traditional hand-drawn Disney Classic, but in 3D. A short clip of test footage was shown at Siggraph 2005, where is gained a lot of attention. Apparently they will be using 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”.

先睹为快：迪士尼新片《长发姑娘》
迪斯尼工作室发布了新的艺术渲染理念以及图标艺术关于预定于2010年上映的动画电影《长发姑娘》。点击图片可以看到超高清晰画质的《长发姑娘》。需要指出的是位于下方的图片取自于迪士尼修改之前的老版《长发姑娘》。（这部电影最初被命名为《未梳头的长发姑娘》）
由格兰·基恩和迪恩·威林斯共同导演的这部片子将为我们讲述一个经典童话故事。它会带观众进入一个“令人晕眩的CG幻想世界。在这个世界中，我们可以看到标志性的古塔，邪恶的女巫，勇敢的英雄，当然，还有神秘的金发女孩等等。除了冒险，善良，幽默,还有头发……很多很多的头发。”
格兰·基恩导演希望希望这部动画电影给人以传统迪士尼经典手绘画面的感觉，但是使用3D的方式来呈现。《长发姑娘》简短的样本剪辑片已经在2005美国计算机协会展览上展示时得到了极大的关注。显然，迪士尼工作室将会运用非真实晕染技术来使画面看上去是绘制的，但仍然保持深度和维度。这个电影的视觉风格将以法国洛可可风格派艺术家弗拉格纳尔的名作《秋千》为蓝本。
