Imagine being a Disney artist and watching Eugene’s character design progression

Like how do you go from Jack Black Prince,to Kristoff from Frozen, to THE BEST DESIGN IVE EVER SEEN OMG and finally settles with pretty dude? How was the process? Where’s the documentary?

(I love the Eugene we did get btw)

What’s your favorite Cassandra concept art?

Thank you for the ask! Good question! I have many favourites:

I love these two! She just looks so adorable in both!

I love her dress and her little shoes, but while I do love this concept, it doesn’t scream Cass as we know her, to me.

I love all of these XD

This one is so cool and her facial expression is adorable!

THE BIRD FINGER GUN HELP 🤣

The top pic especially is just awesome.

Not sure if this counts, as it came from the storyboards but Rapunzel hugging a Cass who’s scared and in pain is so bittersweet. It shows the usually strong Cass allowing herself to be afraid, to be vulnerable and have other people look out for her, for once. I get why they didn’t keep it in, but I wish they did.

Behold! A Rapunzel doll with actual long hair!

At first it was a little challenge with myself; I found some 1,80 meter (6 feet) long hair extenstion, aannnnnnd I quickly regreted it! I had to CONSTANTLY untangle this mess as I glued it to her head. Also, I will NEVER undo that braid! I had to use both of my hands AND my freaking foot to make it!

ANYWAY, I decided to not make the purple dress from the movie, and instead I mixed Claire Keane’s original concept for the movie, a bit of Tangled: The Series aesthetic and my own concept to design her outfit. I just love the green dress! And it goes so well with her eyes color! 

Also, ✨ Freckles ✨

For her body, I used a cheap Rapunzel doll head that I repainted and a SnapStar body (their heads are ugly AF but the body is really interesting and articulated).

I’m really happy I got to finish her because that hair buisness was REALLY exhausting!

And to give you a better idea of the hair length, here’s a tree for scale:

Was looking for more tangled concept art as although I have a lot to do my brain is still thinking of project ideas and I kind of want to make a cardboard crossbow next time I have some time inspired by the one rapunzel was supposed to have so then if I had a green dress I could have 2 rapunzel inspired costumes.

Anyway, I found this collection on Claire keanes website and her notes are so interesting! I love rapunzel and I already feel quite a connection to her but reading these notes about the way she thinks and her worries and what brings her joy is just another level.

Tangled Unbraided

For ages I've wanted to find a way to use the old fractured fairytale idea of "Rapunzel Unbraided" Disney was going to do in the early 2000s, and decided to just go ahead and show what I've got. So here's some sketches of how the main characters would appear in this hypothetical Tangled spin off movie:

The original synopsis for Unbraided ran as thus:

“An evil witch named Lucretia despised fairy tale happy endings and plotted to change all that. Meanwhile in modern day San Francisco, Claire and Vince are two vastly opposite teenagers who cannot stand one another. Claire is a short haired, fashion obsessed teen who was concerned with her looks. Vince is a stocky and crude pizza delivery boy on hard times. The two of them get on each other's nerves which gets the attention of Lucretia in the fairy tale realm. Lucretia takes Rapunzel and her prince Beau and transforms them into a squirrel and dog, respectively, while Claire and Vince find themselves filling their roles. Claire and Vince eventually team up with Rapunzel and Beau to defeat Lucretia and return to their respective places in time. “

---

And I'd want to follow the basic plot of that, though with changes with what we have from the actual Tangled movie. But basically two teens from 2007 San Francisco (why not make it a 'period' piece with all this Y2K nostalgia going on that makes no sense to me, a Y2K kid x) get reverse Enchanted and find themselves in the Everrealm. Searching for a way home, mentored by a talking squirrel and dog that claim to be famous fairytale characters also trying to regain their human forms.

The reason the witch tries to recreate the Rapunzel story with two people who are unlikely to give it a happy ending is that she's trying to make a spell to warp reality and bring about another golden flower (so that we can have the one that eventually shows up in Sofia the First) and so gain immortality for herself.

My ideas for the growth journeys each character goes on in this hypothetical movie is of course that Claire and Vince both learn to be more comfortable with themselves/find their real potential, as well as learn that its ok to trust others emotionally, both in a platonic sense with Eugene and Rapunzel mentoring them, and romantically with eachother as they get closer.

Rapunzel and Eugene would have this be an opportunity for them both to work through the concerns they both have about being parents. Sure they both have better parental relationships now, but both grew up with either abusive or absent parents (and then hyper protective ones in Rapunzel's case with Frederick) and though they both want kids they're afraid they might still mess it up. So, getting to help these two teens find themselves and their way home gives them a sense of the type of parents they'll be, and that they'll be ok in the end.

(They also all eventually find out Claire is their many times descendent and thats why she looks like Rapunzel so much, and why the spell called her into Rapunzel's place)

For the Witch I decided to change her name from Lucretia as I already had a character with that name for the Bluebeard story. I still wanted her to have some actual connection to the og Rapunzel fairytale, and a way to know about the Sundrop flower, and while I know we already had Cass as Gothel's kid, per my DisneyVerse she did have more then one over those many many years 😅😬

We already had a benevolent version of another Gothel daughter with my rewrite of Ginny, so I decided this time we'd get to focus on a malevolent one, so our villain for this story is Azalea.

(I based her looks on one of the tree nymphs from Gothel's backstory in OUAT, old Gothel/witch concept art and her name was inspired by Alice from OUAT being Gothel's daughter, just with a sharper sounding plant name x)

Also here's some original concept art of the Rapunzel Unbraided story treatment!

(Some of these might technically be from the Rapunzel treatment but I feel they fit the story anyway)

Also some video! A rough animatic overview of the whole story

And a more polished small clip of Claire and Squirrel Rapunzel

But yeah that's my rough little idea of how I'd incorporate the Rapunzel Unbraided concept/characters into the Disneyverse :)
