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.

For The Kis In All Of Us
Review of Enchanted DVD by JayHall1991

Advantages: Funny, Moving, Clever, Well Acted
Disadvantages: Not A Lot

...the most startling things about Enchanted is the detail and lusciousness of the opening animations; the actors are beautifully recreated into the 2-D world with vivid colours and exotic, fantastical surroundings. However this piece of the film feels a little contrived, the jibes at old Disney cartoons are funny but strained and it quickly falls into the routine and formulaic. However, once Giselle is pushed into the very real world of New York City ... Read review

Once Upon A Time
Review of Enchanted DVD by ms19

Advantages: great plot, original
Disadvantages: -

Being in my twenties, I have not really watched a Disney film in a long time, well apart from High School Musical films but I mean animated. There hasn't been a lot of good animated films to make me want to go see it so that is part of the reason why I have turned to liking action films and romantic comedies and the odd horror film. Lately, I have been thinking to myself though that it's sad that films are sometimes not what they used to be, as much ... Read review

IT COMPLETELY ENCHANTED ME... WHAT ABOUT YOU???
Review of Enchanted DVD by Pmshack99

Advantages: fab cast, fab film, utterly fabulous from start to finish!!!!
Disadvantages: none whatsoever!!!

...was . . . well, ENCHANTED by the whole idea of it. Luckily when I mentioned to my friend Vicki that I wanted to see it, she was up for it so we arranged to go last night. I had three days of waiting excitedly to watch the film, worrying that it would be sold out when we got to the cinema, or that it wouldn't meet my extremely high expectations. But although the first screening we arranged to see was fully booked, the one an hour later had seats ... Read review

Enchanted
Review of Enchanted DVD by Minty23

Advantages: Good cast, pure cheese, suitable for the whole family.
Disadvantages: Adults may grow tiresome of its sacrine sweetness

This is the Disney film we have been waiting a long time for - recapturing the magic that was once very much synoymous with the franchise. Amy Adams plays Giselle who is taken from her magical animated fairy tale world into a very real 21st century New York where she meets complacent Robert (Patrick Dempsy) who takes her into his home despite being sceptical about who she really is and where she truly comes from. But Giselle's prince is not far ... Read review

Quick review of Enchanted DVD
Review of Enchanted DVD by Cocomi3l

There are no words to explain the way I felt after I saw the movie... AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, STRIKING!!! I just loved the soundtrack and the sweetness it has. I certainly recommend the film to anyone interested in letting their inner child come out, and to those that still believe in happy endings; and most of all in the 'TRUE LOVE'S KISS'.

ENCHANTED
Review of Enchanted DVD by KIWIMULLAN03

Advantages: EASY TO WATCH AND FOLLOW
Disadvantages: WITCH

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 ... Read review
