With a fine cast and fun in-jokes, Disney's ENCHANTED is sure to cast a spell over both children and adults. It begins with a 2-D animation sequence reminiscent of the company's...
more...beloved past. Surrounded by dozens of cute animals, Giselle (voiced and later played by Amy Adams) sings about her desire to find her one true love. Meanwhile, a handsome prince (James Marsden) overhears her, and they meet and fall in love. In many Disney movies, this is where the story ends, but ENCHANTED is just starting out on its journey. The prince’s wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon) can’t stand to lose her throne, so she pushes Giselle down a well, and the beauty ends up in the real world. Gone is the animated fantasy, and a live-action Giselle lands in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Her optimism and perkiness put her at odds with the New Yorkers she encounters, but she gets help from a cynical divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) as she waits for her prince to rescue her.


Fans of Disney classics from SLEEPING BEAUTY to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will be glad to see their favourite films referenced in ENCHANTED. Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel in THE LITTLE MERMAID) makes a brief appearance, and the evil queen threatens to kill Giselle with a poisoned apple a la SNOW WHITE. Though it reminds the audience of past favourites, ENCHANTED boasts its own script that is at once intelligent and heartwarming. But the true highlight of the film is the acting by the fairy tale couple. Marsden (HAIRSPRAY) couldn’t be funnier as the charming prince, while Adams (an Oscar nominee for 2005’s JUNEBUG) gives dimension to the heroine. As a result, ENCHANTED is a film that deserves to sit on a shelf with Disney’s classics.

Enchanted

This film is great, the thought that has gone into this is fantasic.

The film is basically a cartoon to start with and the girl is going to marry a prince, but his mother is not wanting this to happen.

She of cause is the wicked witch so his mother banishes her from animation life to real life, hoping that her son will never find her. She pushes her down a well and she ends up in New York.

Both actors take a really good part.

The princess (to be) is helped by a family with a young girl, who take her in.

She gets all the animals to help her clean up - like the animation. There are rats and birds all around the house. Its really funny.

She does a lot of strange things that are really funny, but, not practical, example putting fish in her mouth and talking to chipmunks.

They people she is staying with thinks this is bazaar and the little girl thinks its great that she can understand animals, but her father tells her it's a load of rubbish.

The princess (to be) is then found by her prince and she then leaves the little girl and her father to go with her prince.

You can guess the ending I'm sure, but I am not telling you, give it a watch.

The film is for the whole family especially the younger ones and it is very easy to watch and understand.
