Enchanted
As close as you can get to a family-friendly, live-action satire of Disney animation, made all the better since Disney itself made the film.
No , Enchantedisn’t usually the sort of flick we review here on Screen Rant , but you know what ? It ’s a great , singular picture and if the more " macho " among you may set aside your testosterone , you just might find yourselves enjoying this . :-)
I mean who among us hasneverseen at least a couple of Disney animated plastic film when we were nestling ? The fun of this film is watching how it manage to thump fun at Disney movies and the captivation come from how they did it without being the slightest chip mean value - gamey about it .
Enchanted open with a traditional 2 - D liven succession that could agree into many old Disney movies : Pretty young girl , vocalizing and trip the light fantastic with a bunch of woodland animal , all help her to build a mannequin of her Prince Charming . The existent prince hears her singing , makes his way to her and within minute they decide they ’re in beloved and prepare to be married .
Of course there ’s a wicked stepmother involved who does n’t want the prince to marry our heroine , Giselle . Giselle is pushed down a well and ends up in the real globe , in Times Square , NYC to be precise . Her too perky , happy deportment is very out of position in New York City , as you may well imagine . She does n’t know where to turn and is rescue by a misanthropic divorce lawyer ( played by Patrick " I ’m the late , hottest romantic direct gentleman " Dempsey ) , who with his unseasoned daughter take her in temporarily .
Dempsey ’s very matter of fact fiancee is none to happy about receive gorgeous Giselle at his apartment the next break of day , and that becomes one of the striking conflict in the film . I do n’t think I ’m spoiling anything at all by say that Giselle terminate up with the attorney . :-)
I wo n’t go into the plot of land any more than that , other to say that it pays tribute to many Disney sketch and if you keep a sharp eye you may remark them sprinkle throughout the cinema . Susan Sarandon was great as the malign stepmother , with my personal bias having me thinking she was perfectly sick .
The great thing about this film is how it takes the animated 2 - D world and interchange the characters into reality to let us see what would befall . It was hysteric to see what it would look like if actual snort , insects and other critters come into an flat to help pick it up . Also very comic was James Marsden as the prince , with his hold fast up nobility and attempts to fall in out into birdcall in Central Park .
The only thing that knocked off half a star for me was a scene where bystanders in the park break out into a synchronized birdcall and dancing scene , which take on me out of the fish out of water system tone of the picture . Outside of that , it was great fun and I think that if you correct aside any preconceived notions about watch a Disney movie about a prince and princess you might just see yourself savor it . If you ’re a parent you’re able to happily show this one to your kids with no reservations whatsoever and you ’ll all have a good time observe it .
