Enchanted

2007

Disney

Dir. by Kevin Lima

Animated opening, Julie Andrews narrates book, art nouveau style

Animal friends, talking, talkative, her only friends

where’s her family? medieval setting? fantasy, trolls

satire, “we shall marry in the morning!”

Giselle is a parody of princesses but is super ott about it

squirrel is fucking annoying, voice and all (Pip), live action, can’t speak, thank god but still annoying

crossover to live action, times square…falls over a lot (four times) / “usually someone catches” me”

Jodi bensoooooooon

that book is way too advanced for a 6 year old, but still, pretty cool, and she does karate (Morgan)

Castle Billboard, sparkly, Palace Casino

Giselle (naïve, optimistic like crazy, different world), Oak (more purposefully ignorant)

 (cynical, sarcastic, normal world) Marco (not really…cynical though)

a lot of Snow White ref. – animal friends, dwarfs, villain motivation, poison apples

everyone travels in cabs

sound of music – dress out of curtains, grass spin (also Beauty)

yay, gay joke “looking for a prince”

yay, sassy black woman, black woman hair touching

“don’t drink that”

mute-ish Pip, mime, still annoying

“part of your world”

How Does She Know song beginning “I don’t know this song”

-Marco like this, but don’t over do it/copy

roller-skating!

earn trust with flowers, doves and balls

acting dorky at dinner

I like that the mother left, not died

no, no , no, no!! you make me so angry!!

what is a date?! super awkward is what they are

Giselle is seen as more mature/adult in new dress, helps the looooove process

ballroom dance, of course

offer/curse with apple, chance at true love/forget pain etc.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

TRUE LOVE’S KISS. the kiss without consent.

Enchanted has a tamer rating than Tangled. what.

the dragon design is strange, it’s so damn blue and cartoon-y

CINDERELLA shoe

glitter confetti death

“is this a habit of yours?” “only when you’re there to catch me” REFERENCE

nice twist on dude/lady saving

one couple goes back to super fairytale land

one couple stays in reality new York but tailored to what they like

story book pop up ending, book closing

HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
