Tangled concept art, by Glen Keane 

EDIT: THESE ARE BY JIN KIM! Pardon my misinformation!

Flynn from Tangled was going to be huge and Stabbington-sized, in comparison to Rapunzel, to make the relationship seem “accepting”, so Rapunzel would seem less shallow.

As if to teach a lesson that not ALL 16th century urchin thieves (half the populace) were rapists and murderers; general scary mean guys, despite their intimidating looks.

Then, to appeal more to the target audience of female teens and little girls, they made him Prince Charming with a personality, so you know he’s ‘good and pretty’, and there wouldn’t be a societal issue in pairing a 25+ year old ex-con with someone the size of a 14 year old.

And it worked. GG Disney.

I like Bastion’s design, better.

I understand the reasoning behind the change but can’t help but be disappointed.  I wonder if anyone’s done a silhouette study of (human) Disney male/female “love story” protagonists; they all have such similar idealized body-types.  (On the other hand, protagonists in “friendship” stories are allowed to have amazingly varied silhouettes — granted, most of them are Pixar movies.)

Maybe it’s my intense bias for gigantic dudes with Hellboy shoulders, but I would’ve far preferred this visual dynamic.

Defend Our Freedom to Share (or Why SOPA is a Bad Idea)

This TED Talk by Clay Shirky is the most elegant and potent argument against SOPA and PIPA I’ve ever heard.

Everyone should watch this.

This explained EVERYTHING to me. Really well explained and supported.

I suggest all females watch this. 

*i suggest all humans watch this.

If you haven’t watched this yet, you really should.

This is a must, girls and boys.

I agree that everyone should watch this. This is one of the few videos on female representation in the media that at least tries to point out that the way females are represented has a negative effect on everyone, not just women. 

just watch

please watch

PLEASE if you see this on your dash, watch it

it’s really sad how this is so true, because even I think I have to look a certain way for guys and i think every girl feels that way and we really shouldn’t have to 

Media is sick.

I’m inspired by watching this, everyone should be.

This was good. At first I was kinda irritated with the “these kids spend so much time on the internet/TV/whatever” stuff at the beginning but when it actually got to the point (representation of women in the media) it was good.

Got linked to this by someone on Facebook. This crew must’ve been using an EXTREMELY quick framerate to get animation as slick as this.

The animation is beautiful.

I love this so much.

This is so beautiful, I saw this a long time ago from a link on Deviantart. <3

Oh wow. Jesus that was gorgeous.

I want to learn this dance with someone, seriously gorgeous

1. This is ONE GUY.

2. FUCKING AMAZING.

3. FOREVER REBAGEL THIS FUCKING SHIT.

I forgot how beautiful and sad this is.
