Maybe my kids will have outgrown all of this by then.

Thanks!<BR/><BR/>LSM: I don't think I've seen the Mayer Rapunzel! I'm sure it's gorgeous.<BR/><BR/>TadMack: I'm concerned about the potential for little stereotypes, too-- I just think it's about time (overdue) that the franchise formally acknowledged a significant part of their movie-base. Maybe they'll have people on board who actually know what they're doing. I was sad about the Pocahontas fiasco. I turned off the movie after 10 minutes, and ended up reading about instead. I'm not thrilled about the depiction of Jasmine as the Arabic Princess, either. (See? Grizzling and groaning.)Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-43617448530137235912008-04-09T07:22:00.000-07:002008-04-09T07:22:00.000-07:00Eek.

I don't like the look of her, and what's with this Fragonard business?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, the Zelinsky Rapunzel is one of my favorite picture books, not just Rapunzels or even retellings.

Something about the rampion. I love the illustrations in that last version you have imaged - can't remember if it's the Mayer one or not. I've been working on one of my mother-faerie tales on Rapunzel for awhile, but I am slow, due to distractions.Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-70576177318296793972008-04-09T04:05:00.000-07:002008-04-09T04:05:00.000-07:00Rapunzel!?

Instead of thinking it's a positive for an African American princess character, I'm afraid it will just annoy me with little stereotypes sprinkled throughout. I'm sure I should just be 'grateful' they're 'reaching out' to the multiracial community. Whatev. Fortunately my sister is twelve (and all I have left is a nephew, and he's not even a year old); I'm just about done having to look at any Disney at all!
