The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid - even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home - she has to wonder: Can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

Enchanted: A Fairytale Brought to Life With its ten year anniversary just around the corner, Enchanted continues to spark the imagination of children and parents alike. This movie is able to create a bridge between fantasy and reality, connecting them in a way that reconfigures previous fairy tales. Not only is this film a classic for the whole family, it's also a wonderland full of fruit for the imagination.Amy Adams, who portrays Giselle, does a phenomenal job of portraying an animated character brought to life. She comes from an animated fairytale world where she is living a fantasy, and she carries that mindset through her transition to New York City. Her emotions lead you on this journey of experiencing life for what seems to be the first time. She is able to separate her character into two different identities and then ties them together in the end. Patrick Dempsey, who portrays Robert Phillip, is the charming knight in shiny armor that comes to rescue Gisele from the streets of New York in the beginning of the movie. He is able to captivate the reality of a hero, beyond the glorified fairytale version. Together Adams and Dempsey create a platform in which they continue to build up and the whole time they are drawing in the audience with their chemistry and emotional connection.The music is what bring the movie to life. It's playful and entertaining while telling an important story. The songs mostly speak of love and the person you're meant to be with for the rest of your life, very fitting for a fairytale. The meaning of the lyrics progress from fairytale to reality as the movie continues. Starting with dreaming of a true loves kiss all the way to loving someone you can't have. It's a powerful progression which enhances how the audience feels, how I felt. Adams does an excellent job singing and performing with great vocals and exceptional dance moves. The performance of "That's how you know" is a joyful one which brings all the people of New York together to sing about love and telling the girl of your dreams how you feel. It's exciting and by the end of the song you'll be trying to sing along.Another element which progresses throughout the movie is Giselle's costume designs. They begin as poufy, cliché fairytale ball gowns and slowly slim down into an end product of a tightly fitted, mermaid style gown. These dresses directly tie into the different stages of Giselle's journey to reality and greatly highlights that. They were bright and elegant and made Giselle the center of attention at all times.Enchanted is a must-see movie with a charming spin on a classic fairytale, making it into something people can relate to. This is not only impressive but captivating. The emotional and joyous acting of Adams and Dempsey, the reconfigured classic fairytale plot, stunning outfits and the perfect music all come together to evoke the idea that fairy tales really do come true. It leaves the audience with hope that they could one day walk alongside a princess on the streets of New York.

A princess, who is prepared to be wed, is sent away to New York by an evil queen, where she falls in love with a lawyer. Hands down the most sweet and best performance of Amy Adams ever she's so beautiful and nice to everyone in this film she even saved the marriage of a couple. Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Susan Sarandon and even Idina Menzel did a nice job this is why Disney makes great movies it respects the audience and it's characters but also every girl and boy can have it's own role model to look up to. Also the ending was really really good everyone found happiness in their lives and they got what they were looking for Man or Woman you will enjoy this film is beautiful and funny but also great to look at. Another great think is that is narrated by Julie Andrews.

This film is different from other Disney's princess movies in many points. First of all, it is constructed from animation and real picture. What is more interesting is that at the end of the movie, some characters live in different world. The animation character lives in real life, and the real world's character lives in animation world. Second, the characters in this film fins out what is their true love. The important point is, not only the lead character but also the others around her finally realize their true loves. It is not romantic like other princess's stories, a kind of the love of princess and prince. However, it brings sympathy to audience. Third, the princess's character is typical of a princess in the beginning,(for example, she can talk with animals, and she likes t sing) but she learns many things in the real life and grows gradually. And this growth lets her realize her true love. One of the elements I like in this movie is it includes many songs. It is like a musical somehow, and music gives us a great impact. This movie's main theme is love, but is concludes humor and family love, so everyone can enjoy this film.

At the first, Enchanted looks like ordinary fairytale animation. However we are surprised because the scene changed into the N.Y. city. Then we realize that this film changed fusion of real and fantasy. Disney masochistically pay homage its traditional princes story. It's make us fun. Firstly, we assume that prince married  with prince. Zisel often sing a song of love. She teaches about love for Fillip. Her act gradually affect him. He remember fantasy of love. On the other hand, Zisel break the old woman's view. Finally, we realize what is the real and what is the true love. It images us the word "They lived happily ever after."
