Disney
Just days before the release of "Tangled," Disney shocked the world by announcing the film would be their last fairy tale princess story. But while there was much wailing, another, more positive milestone has been somewhat overlooked: "Tangled" marked the studio's 50th animated feature.

Guillermo Del Toro Pulls the Strings on a Creepy, Stop-Motion 'Pinocchio'
Tor
After moving his family to New Zealand an spending two years of preparation, Guillermo Del Toro exited the now Peter Jackson-directed adaptation of "The Hobbit." Everyone's ears immediately perked up upon his departure - what was the imaginative director going to do next?! The unexpected choice: "Pinocchio."
