Then there is the Rapunzel film set for 2009... and two princess/fairy tale movies the same year would be awkward. Meaning the film might not be released until 2010. Unless some of the films change schedule and get postponed.. for example if American Dog was flip-flopped with this film, or something and then Rapunzel might get pushed back to 2010 or something.. however that's only a possiblity. Still, timing is a very important thing when releasing a film. Oh well, it may be too early to tell, but I was curious what other people thought.

Maybe this is a good sign that it will be saved from the horrible treatment it was originally going to be given. It's too beautiful a story to be given the 'fractured fairytale' treatment.

Originally Posted By Marove Yeah, but I'm wondering how they figured 2008, as American Dog and Toy Story 3 are already set for that year. While from a distance having to wait as far as '10 to see the film might seem unfortunate, but hopefully in the long run that will give them good time to make a really good film, one that hopefully emulates such classics as The Little Mermaid (1989) and Aladdin (1992). I hope they can manage to keep the film in the faithful tradition of animated fairy tales, but without duplicating the past films. As there are obvious similarities with the premise compared to Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid, although perhaps no bigger than the similarities between Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
