Product Description
-------------------
A fairy tale comes to life in this thoroughly original, new
Disney Classic. Drawing inspiration from its classic heritage,
Disney creates an inspired story unlike any you've experienced
before. Filled with excitement, fun, and incredible music from
the legendary Alan Menken, ENCHANTED is the ultimate
fish-out-of-water adventure. For princess-to-be Giselle, life is
a fairy tale -- until she's banished from the animated land of
Andalasia and thrust into the very unmagical, live-action world
of modern-day Manhattan. When a cynical, no-nonsense divorce
lawyer comes to her aid, little does he realize that this joyful,
wide-eyed innocent is about to enchant him. ENCHANTED -- the
musical comedy that will have your entire family under its spell.

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 ( /dp/B0007Z9R7A ), Snow White ( /dp/B000IVW25M ) and
ing Beauty ( /dp/B00005JKHN ) 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 ( /dp/B0007KTBIU ) and The Hunchback of
Notre Dame ( /dp/B00005TN8K ) 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 y images and mild
innuendo) --Tami Horiuchi
