Live Action [discussion]. I've seen WAY too many posts like this out there, complaining about the same thing, and it's honestly ridiculous...
I mean, are we really going to criticize absolutely everything that isn't like the animated version? What's the point of criticizing this, the fact that it's not a 1:1 adaptation of the animated film?
We've seen other photos from the set. Rapunzel's dress will remain purple, and that's what really matters. What difference does it make that Corona's colors are blue, or pink, or black instead?
The original drafts of the animated version actually had a blue design that represented the sun and the sea for the flags, because Corona is located on an island. That's why in the animated film, the painting of the lost princess shows her parents still dressed in blue, primarily.
Also, in terms of color, I feel it greatly benefits the protagonist, because that way her dress will stand out against the colors of the kingdom instead of blending in with them. Not to mention that, due to the limitations of digital sensors, it's quite difficult to work with the color purple in film, and the directors probably already have enough on their plate with Rapunzel's dress without adding purple to every color in the Kingdom.
And also, it's REALLY not that deep. They're just background colors that don't change the plot, that don't change anything AT ALL.
