tangled at disneyland

our good friend roy, is a producer at disney. he and his wife, mary are jj’s “dog-parents”.  (sort of like god-parents, but in a dyslexic way). we had just been talking about him, thinking that he should be on tour soon, with his new film. in fact, the next day, we got an email from him telling us he would be in town for the pr tour. you will probably have seen the ads for “tangled”, a new version of rapunzel. we all got invited to a special preview screening and were able to bring a friend of jj’s too. the film was beautiful and fun and we’re hoping he has a big hit on his hands. there are some great characters and the computer graphics were very subtly done so, in fact it very much felt like the old disney films. rapunzel’s hair was beautifully done. i loved admiring it throughout the film. the art director, dave, is also a friend of mine from ireland days, and he did a wonderful job. the film is rich and beautiful. dave is also an extremely talented painter.
afterwards, we were able to enter disneyland paris for the day. i was only able to stay a couple of hours, since i had to get back but the day was a bit cold and rainy anyway. the entry of disneyland already had its christmas decorations, and we were amazed that it appeared to be snowing. in fact, it was a well done disney illusion, created with tight clumps of soap bubbles. it was great that we could bring a friend for jj, since it made it much more fun for her.
