When Naveen (Bruno Campos), a handsome prince arrives in town looking for romance, the evil Dr. Facilier (Keith David) hatches a nefarious plot and turns Naveen into a frog. A kiss from Tiana should return him to his true form, but in a hilarious twist on the classic story, she is instead transformed into a frog herself! The pair must travel into the heart of the mysterious Louisiana bayou with only a trumpet-playing alligator and a love-struck firefly as guides to find the priestess who can reverse the curse in order to find their “happily ever after.”

Another Possible Replacement Name for ‘Rapunzel’ Registered by Disney

Earlier this week, we broke the news that Disney had registered several new names that might possibly be considered as a replacement title for Walt Disney Animation Studio’s upcoming release Rapunzel: The Hidden Tower, Tangled and The Thief and the Tower.

Today we have learned that there’s another suitor in the running in the form of The Secret Tower for which Disney has now registered THESECRETTOWER.COM, THESECRETTOWER-MOVIE.COM and THESECRETTOWERMOVIE.COM.

Given that it’s in the same vein as The Hidden Tower but seems to invoke a larger sense of mystery which might appeal to the non-princess going public if that’s Marketing’s concern, it seems like The Secret Tower might have the edge here, not to mention that they were able to secure THESECRETTOWER.COM as opposed to requiring the lengthy suffixes.

Speculation: Disney to Rename ‘Rapunzel’

Disney registered several domain names yesterday which indicate that a speculated and apparently not widely spread rumor may be true: Rapunzel will either be subtitled or simply renamed to something else. A quick google search for The Thief and the Tower turned up but one result from comments on a blog post on a professional animators’ site from early January and the ‘speculation’ was just that. The consensus from those who appeared to have some inside information on the name change is that Disney is looking for a way to make the film appear less princess-y.

The specific domains registered by Disney include: THETHIEFANDTHETOWER-MOVIE.COM, THETHIEFANDTHETOWER.COM, THETHIEFANDTHETOWERMOVIE.COM.

But it may not quite end there. Interestingly enough, the very same site contains a more recent blog entry in which a commenter notes that the name may actually become The Hidden Tower, for which Disney also registered THEHIDDENTOWER-MOVIE.COM, THEHIDDENTOWERMOVIE.COM.

And if that’s not enough, Disney also registered domains for Tangled (TANGLED-MOVIE.COM) and The Switch (THESWITCH-MOVIE.COM), although the last may not have any ties to the film.

Rapunzel has already seen one significant name change as it was initially known as Rapunzel Unbraided.

Update: 2/6/10 – Another potential name has been thrown into the mix. See here for more details.

Disney Pushes Back ‘Beauty and the Beast 3D’ to 2011

We have received an update from Walt Disney Studios confirming some reports that Beauty and the Beast won’t be making its 3D debut for Valentine’s Day this year as  initially announced during last year’s company shareholder meeting.

Although we do not have a new release date, it looks like the film is still expected to be released, but not until some point in 2011.
