Product Description: 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 Horiuchi

2 stars Not Disney's Finest Hour
I am a huge Disney fan! Since childhood I have loved every Disney Princess that has ever been created and can probably sing each one's theme songs. But each of those princesses has been animated and I believe that is the way they should stay.

I waited for the DVD release of Enchanted and sat down with high expectations. I have seen what the animators can do. But the transition to real-time from animation left me cold. Although the actors did a fine job the magic of the story didn't come across as it does in the animation. Take for example the fact that Giselle, with merely a melodious call of her voice, summons the sweet, docile, furry woodland creatures to help her clean house in the animated portion. Imagine seeing her do that in the real NYC and finding the call being answered by packs of sewer rats, flocks of pigeons and swarms of roaches. Not magical in any way. I was ready to put in a call to an exterminator!

Not really for children who aren't used to seeing the seamier side of life.

I did like two parts of this movie: the portion where the evil queen turns into a dragon (I really like dragons) and the conclusion where the viewer see the words The End.

Not one of Disney's better efforts.


3 stars fun for everyone
This film is fun and entertaining without being too, too sweet. It's Disney without the extra mushy fairy tale-ness. My family loves it, even my three year-old, though she doesn't get all of the jokes and references(which is fine with me).


5 stars great movie
my daughters and i loved it so much in the theaters we bought the dvd


5 stars Great Service
The product was received in record time, and in great condition. I would recommend this seller highly.


5 stars A true love's kiss and a dragon
Ingeniously incorporating a mix of memorable elements from earlier fantasy classics, including The Wizard of Oz, Men in Tights, King Kong, and their own fairy tale repertoire, the Disney folks, whose products are often annoying, have turned up a winner. Filmed like a musical, Enchanted is a delightful, sometimes fanciful , sometimes realistic tale about make believe characters who wind up in NYC because of the curse of an evil queen. Amy Adams and James Marsden are perfectly cast as the innocent, ingenuous maiden and prince, and Susan Sarandon overacts deliciously as the evil queen. Patrick Dempsey provides just the right contrast in his role as wordly, disappointed-in-love divorce lawyer, and, as his daughter, little Rachel Covey hits just the right note, neither too precocious nor too sweet. The hundreds of animals are right off the pages of Cinderella, even the bees, the pigeons, and the rats. The reactions of the New Yorkers who encounter the strange ensemble are priceless.
There are few surprises here, but its very predictably, presented in such a charmingly magical way, results in a film that lifts the heart as it entertains. The settings, costumes, music, and special effects are all first rate. In this film about love, what's not to love?
