Rapunzel has always been one of my favorite fairy tales. A woman with beautiful and awesomely long hair, who can heal with her tears–what’s not to love?

I was excited a few years ago when I heard that Disney was going to make a Rapunzel movie.  But when I finally saw the trailers for it…I was very underwhelmed.  I had no desire to see it. The trailers made the movie seem very silly.  I wasn’t interested in seeing a movie with a girl with hair that seems to have a mind of its own (I have enough problems with my OWN thank you very much).  Disappointed, I didn’t plan on seeing the movie when I came out.

But then my friends started watching it. And raving about it. All of them. And I thought, well…maybe I should see it.

I was totally blown away with how awesome it was. The trailers…they sucked. Big time.  But the movie was so much better than I had dared to hope.  The visuals in the movie took my breath away.  And the story was amazing.  The characters very well written.

I immediately went home and started looking up the concept art from the movie. There is some really beautiful art from this movie. I particularly fell in love with the art of Claire Keane, who designed the look of Rapunzel.
