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) --Tami HoriuchiBeyond Enchanted

Great show for little ones and adults
Our four year old daughter has watched it three times since we purchased the DVD. Prior to purchasing we rented twice so we are now getting our money's worth. Both the little girls and big girls enjoy this cartoon/live acting fairy tale.

Finally a movie we can all enjoy
What a refreshingly fun movie to watch as a family. The boys were a bit hesitant when I brought it home, but then watched it non-stop for the first week we had it. Our first taste of a "princess movie", which I'm sure we'll be seeing more of as our first girl grows up ;)

The Night the Power Went Out
Back in April when Enchanted was released on DVD I picked it up for my young daughter after she saw an ad for it on TV. She watched it a couple of times, but wasn't watch it 100 times crazy about it (like she is for Cinderella or High School Musical). So I never had the chance to see Enchanted until this past weekend...when we lost our power.
Losing power was actually a blessing in disguise, because it gave my whole family (plus Grandparents) the opportunity to fire up the Generator, and gather around the only TV in the house that would go on with the only DVD in the house that no one except my daughter had seen...Enchanted.
What a pleasant surprise! Enchanted was great. It might even be one of my favorite, all-time Disney movies. It's about an animated world's evil witch-queen that casts a Snow-White-esque character into real world NYC in order to keep The Prince from marrying her. Sounds silly, I know, but it's not the story that makes this movie, it's how the actors just nailed their roles...especially Amy Adams as Giselle. She took every silly, only-a-Disney-Princess-character-acts-like-this nuance and brought it to life.
Patrick Dempsey, a big-time divorce lawyer, and his young daughter find Giselle, and the rest is a highly entertaining, heart warming story with some laugh out loud moments that I've not experienced in many movies these days.
Don't wait for the power to go out to give Enchanted a try. You don't even have to have kids to enjoy it!

More comedy, less love story, but good fun
Tongue in cheek comedy, satirical of other Disney fantasies. Fairyland sweetness meets New York and comedy breaks out. Good for the whole family.

Total escape!
Disney for all ages. Beautiful cast, fine music, and expert film making. Mike

Didn't expect to love it
4.5 stars. When the trailer of this movie came out, I thought Disney had finally fell off their mouse ears; but then there was a buzz about the movie and I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. Still, since I am a fan of most of their movies, I went ahead and watched it. I couldn't stop smiling and being completely charmed by the movie. There are some choppy editing parts, but as a whole, if there is the slightest romantic in you, you'll love this movie. I especially liked that the hero is the one that needed rescuing by the end. I'm glad I gave the movie a chance.

An absolute Joy !
We rented this movie a few months ago and I found it an absolute joy to watch. So funny and not boring, we watched it several times. Now I'm looking to buy it as a Christmas present (yes, its almost July, but I'm thinking about Christmas shopping !).
To the few who didn't like it : Don't overreact worrying that our little princess' will be all messed up looking for a man to save her (or whatever else you dont like) ~ its just a movie folks ! (You probably wouldn't like Ella Enchanted either...) Dont let yourself grow so old inside you can't enjoy a simple movie. Keep an open mind and stay young !
As for this 40 yr. old~ I can't wait to watch it again !

Loved it - Enchanting, Indeed
I didn't know anything about this before I saw it. so, was really surprised and indeed enchanted.
My man, Norman, and I just watched it. We are not kids, we are old folk, and we found it truly sweet, funny, creative, and just lovely!
Enchanted is a nice, safe, fun family movie for one and all. So nice to have a night with no sex, violence, swearing, or cringing. No covering the little one's eyes, no having to explain anything immoral or creepy. Just delightful!
4 paws up, granny Sally.

Enchanted
Delightful! Good clean fun. Everyone was perfect in their parts from the wonderfully naive heroine to the evil queen. It just leaves you feeling and uplifted. Highly recommend it for leaving all your problems behind and just going with the flow.
