EditorialReview: If you’re looking for signs that the modern-day Disney has lost neither its touch nor its savvy nature, then there’s evidence in abundance in the smart modern-day fairy tale Enchanted. Bookended by the kind of old-style animation the studio is rightly famed for, the main, live action segment of the film finds Amy Adams’ Giselle--an archetypal Disney princess in pretty much every sense--dropped slap bang into the middle of modern day New York.

What follows is ingenious fun, as Giselle walks round very much as a fish out of water, followed quickly by James Marsden’s prince who attempts to come to the rescue. Thing is, modern day New York and old style princesses don’t really mix, and Enchanted studiously mines the comedy of the scenario, thanks to a smart and witty script.

What also lifts Enchanted though are the delightful tips of the hat to classics of Disney old. And we’re not just talking the show-stopping numbers: there are references to the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to be found here, and a star-making performance from Adams powering the whole film forward.

One of the very best family movies of 2007, Enchanted does occasionally stumble through the odd twee moment (and it could really use a villain with more screen time than Susan Sarandon’s wicked stepmother gets), but that can’t hide the fact that it’s terrific fun, lavishly made and, at its best, quite brilliant. A modern day family classic, and great to see Disney once again delivering the kind of entertainment it excels at. --Simon Brew

Review Summary: She's great - wish it had been more surprising!
 
Review Content: There is so much to enjoy here. Amy Adams is sensational. Patrick Dempsey is cute. The set up (the Walt Disney cartoon opening, and then the characters arriving in New York) is a joy. It's a shame that it doesn't develop in a more interesting way. The story is very signposted with no real twists. It takes too long for Prince Edward and the Qicked Queen to meet up with Giselle, and so she and Robert spend a lot of time just mooning around waiting for something to happen. But the songs are great, and Amy Adams keeps us interested.

Review Summary: Loved it!
 
Review Content: So the chipmonk defecates when it's scared...yup. And I nearly fell off my seat laughing. Great little film, a little slow at the beginning but quickly picks up the pace. I agree with all the reviewers who laud Amy Adams - she's brilliant. I also found my little feminist heart warmed by the clear girl power message. And obviously the fact that the fairytale princess can't get over Patrick Dempsey having nipples (only the bad genie has nipples out of the many animated Disney films I recall at the moment) is a classic (and very understated).

I watched it with a gaggle of 20-something girls and a lone bloke, all of who loved it and are getting it for Xmas. We also liked Ella Enchanted and Ten Things I Hate About You is that's any indication.

Review Summary: 3 1/2 star for this one
 
Review Content: I give this movie a 3 1/2 star for this one, the first 10-15 minutes of animation are hardwork to watch but when characters become "real" the story picks up and was pleasant to watch.

Review Summary: Excellent film
 
Review Content: This film is great. It is a really good idea to start of as a cartoon then use real people in the real world.
I have watched it over and over and still love it and laugh and sing along.

Review Summary: Enchanting
 
Review Content: I appreciate a movie studio who can give the audience a knowing wink while poking copious amounts of fun at itself. Disney delivers!

The movie is both a parody of and a loving tribute to Disney movies. There's not a single dramatic convention or stereotype that doesn't get lampooned, yet the story has a lot of heart and you root for the characters. The songs are as fun as ever - kids will enjoy it as a basic fairytale, adults will laugh and smile as they recognise the clever jokes and references. Disney manage to bring an animated movie to the real world, as absurd as that is, but instead of falling flat on its face it shows us precisely why we have cartoons and the mirror they hold up for us - with a wink and a nudge!

The extras are also very enlightening; it's extremely impressive just how many Disney movies are slyly referenced as well as the more obvious overtones. The name of the restuarant comes from Lady and the Tramp, tap dancing grandads in the park also tap danced on the roof for Mary Poppins, the voices of some Disney princesses make cameos... you can go on, but at heart this is really just a classic Disney story. It's fun, frothy, it sparkles but it's also got heart and intelligence to it. It's a brilliant piece from people who clearly love and respect Disney movies while understanding what makes them tick.

Amy Adams and James Marsden are to be particularly commended for making cartoon characters human while never letting go of the fact that they are cartoon characters with all the conventions and silliness that goes along with it!
