I was very distressed to read that Disney's planned release of Rapunzel is going to be in 3D.

Yeah, I heard that too...I then I heard they changed their minds. Though reading your entry, I think I may just have been getting confused with The Princess and the Frog.

3D animation can be nice, but to me nothing will ever replace traditional animation. It just looks prettier. Or maybe it's because it's what I grew up with. Still, it hurts me inside to see cartoons becoming more and more CGI these days.
