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

 Enchanted Is Enchanting February 29, 2008

Finally, a film that does exactly what it says on the tin. This is truly a fantastic film for all the family. The film begins as a traditional, beautiful Disney animation set in a wonderful fairytale world filled with Princes and Princesses, magic and giants.
After an unfortunate encounter with a giant, Giselle, a lovely young woman meets Prince Edward and in classic fairy tale fashion, the two fall in love and plan to marry the next day. However, Prince Edward's evil stepmother, Queen Narissa, has other ideas and plots to get rid of Giselle, thereby keeping her throne. The moment when she pushes Giselle into a massive magical pit is when the film makes its ingenious transition from animation to live action. Giselle ends up in New York City - as Narissa evilly puts it "A place where there are no happily ever afters" - and is lost and alone. She eventually runs into a lawyer played by Patrick Dempsey, and his young daughter who is especially taken with her. Eventually, Prince Edward also ventures to the city to find his true love and after this happens, anything goes.
Amy Adams' performance as Giselle, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress - Musical or Comedy is a revelation. She shines in every scene that she is in with her wonderfully sweet and funny peformance, which has her singing at random and calling to her animal friends to help tidy up.
The film is an intelligent send up of classic Disney fairy tales as well as a genuinely heartwarming love story and exciting adventure. Children of all ages as well as adults will love this as it really has something for everyone. One of the best films of 2007, if not ever.
Absolutely brilliant April 1, 2008

I have seen this film twice with my 5 year old daughter and loved it both times. I love New York so it helped that it was set there! The acting, the storyline, the fairytale element was all excellent and was very funny throughout. Will definately be buying this film and I am not sure if its for my daughter or myself, would recommend to anyone with children or adults who like a silly, comical fairytale.
The best thing to watch ever! ( I am 9 years old) March 23, 2008

I have only seen this once at the cinema and I love it! It is so hilarios at times. It is about a young girl in her teens that lives in the forest with animals.
She wants a prince so much when she gets one the queen goes bad because they are getting married and when they do, she won't be queen any more
so she makes a portil into the real world (first it is animated and the real world is real people). Of cource she falls in the portal. The only nice person is a man with his daughter so she lives with him for a while but makes his life go horribly wrong in the hilarios way.
But what will the prince say about this?
Does she love the man or the prince?
Which one has true loves first kiss?
That's for you to find out!
There's lots more to this fantastic film - you'll have to watch it to find out!
Brilliant for all ages April 19, 2008

This really is Disney back doing what it does best. A very clever mix of cartoon (like the original Disney classics) and real time, mixed very well. The actors all work well for the film, and enough humour to satisfy the adult viewer. A MUST SEE film!

I have to say im not easily impressed by movies these days so I didnt expect much from this movie, but it was a refreshing change from a lot of the movies with the same old plot which have been released in the past few years. It was great to see something, which although was a bit cheesy, it was part of its charm and you couldnt help but fall in love with it, as the cartoon world and new york crashed together with style. The comedic timing was brilliant, and i'll definatly be buying my copy on dvd
