By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Blistering performances.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Disney's Enchanted (2007) is a very entertaining well thought out movie for all ages. Amy Adams is a perfect pick to play the lead here, she's bubbly, endlessly cheerful, and fits the princess perfectly. Patrick Dempsey is great in his role as well, he plays the widowed successful divorce attorney father raising a young daughter. He is very distant and detached in the beginning of the movie but as the film progresses and as he falls for Amy Adams, he starts to break from that and become more warm and we get to learn a lot more about his character. The character depth in the movie is very well executed and is more satisfying than most run of the mill family oriented films. And then we get to Susan Sarandon as the evil queen, which in my opinion was the best casting decision in the whole movie. She is so effortlessly evil and deliciously wicked. The visual effects are masterful and very cool to see, it's obvious that a large amount of effort was given to special effects, which is a very necessary thing for a film like this. You get an overall good feeling while viewing this movie, and the well written good hearted characters and great actors to play them are largely due to that. The movie incorporates different classic Disney animated films in the monumental ending. Such as leaving behind a glass slipper (Cinderella), a fire breathing dragon (sleeping beauty), and others, which was neat. I suggest this film as good well done entertainment. 8/10.

Amy Adams is great as Giselle a princess sent from her fairy tale land to New York by Prince Edward's (James Marsden) evil stepmother (Susan Sarandon). Edward, Giselle, Nathaniel (Timothy Spall) and the evil queen start out as cartoons but turn into flesh-and- blood characters when they all end up in New York. Joining them is Pip, a cartoon chipmunk who talks clearly in the fairy tale land but squeaks in New York. The singing and dancing Amy Adams and others do is catchy and the dancers are awesome! I laughed at Clara the little old lady on the bus Edward nearly stabs and she says dramatically to Giselle, "He tried to kill me!". Susan Sarandon is a scream as Edward's stepmother who wants Giselle out of the picture. The queen is mean to poor Nathaniel who is just trying to help her out and she greets him with, "Hello, worthless.". I highly recommend "Enchanted" and Giselle proves to be a wonderful stepmom to Robert's (Patrick Dempsey) 6-year-old daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey)!

I love Disney princess and I like to watch Disney princess movie. When I see the title, "Enchanted," I really want to watch this movie. So, I lent DVD and watch it. At the beginning of this movie, it is an animation. I was surprise at seeing animation, because I looked at DVD package and I think it is a live-action movie. However the movie is made by animation. Then it turns a live-action movie. In the movie, it sometimes turns animation and then turns live-action movie again. I think it is a great technique. The people in the movie come and go animation world and reality world. Animation characters and actors look like same. It is so great. And also it is a musical movie, so a lot of songs are used and actors dance in the movie. Therefore a lot of viewers can enjoy to watch the movie.

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.
