Life is idyllic in the fairytale world where conflict is minimal
and breaking into song solves every problem, but what happens when a princess
from the fairy world gets magically transported into the real world? Enchanted
begins in the animated fairytale world of Andalasia where Princess Giselle (Amy
Adams) is destined to marry Prince Edward (James Marsden) and live happily ever
after. Problem is, Edward's step-mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) doesn't
want to give up the throne and will do anything to get Giselle out of Edward's
life. Queen Narissa's solution is to push Giselle into a well that magically
lands Giselle smack in the middle of the real world--the center of Time Square
in New York City, to be exact. This launches the live-action portion of the film
where Giselle immediately realizes that things are frighteningly different in
this new world and that she is ill-prepared for the callous ways of the people
who inhabit it. Giselle finds herself alone on a stormy night in the wrong end
of town, but a chance encounter with Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his princess-loving
daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey) leads to a warm, safe place to spend the night
and the beginnings of a complicated, yet compelling relationship. As Giselle
begins to question the fairy-tale truths she's always inherently believed,
Robert's outlook on life and love also begins to change significantly. Parallels
to the classic Disney fairytales, Cinderella,
Snow White and Sleeping
Beauty abound in the form of a King's and Queen's ball, small animals
and rodents who clean house when called, the threat of poisoned apples,
characters impulsively breaking into song, and the power of the kiss of true
love and the absurd juxtaposition of fairytale idealism and stark reality is
hilariously funny. Features music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz of Pocahontas
and The Hunchback of Notre Dame
fame, Wicked's Broadway Elpheba Idina Menzel as Nancy, and even a
brief appearance by former Princess voice talent Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas). Enchanted
is one of the best, most entertaining Disney films of the year. (Ages 6
and older with parental guidance due to some scary images and mild innuendo)
