Seems to be a lot of momentum for promoting the movie as "The next

a 180-degree away from the reason the movie was originally written in

(During the post-Treasure "Eisner kisses up to Shrek to buy back our
love" days of the early 00's, back when Rapunzel was still Unbraided and
Chicken Little was going to build a new studio.)
A dozen script rewrites later, the latest press-interview articles try

I saw "Beowulf" in 2D and the action was still spectacular (and bloody... and
sexy. Lord knows what the "R"-rated international version looks like). The
characters' faces weren't quite right (again), but I sort of got used to it.

Speaking of overseas boxoffice, I read that "Ratatouille" recently passed $600
million worldwide ...it's even the year's #1 movie in France! Sweet.
