I watched the movie Enchanted for the second time, and fell in love again with the fun story and the great satire found throughout the plot. The story is that of a girl from a fairy tale who is sent to the real world (New York City) by an evil witch/evil stepmother. It begins with all the great makings of a classic Disney Fairy Tale, and ends up with a girl lost in the crazy life of a New Yorkian. Giselle, the fairy tale princess, is completely naive and lost in the ways of life of New York. She immediately tries to make friends with an old man, and he simply steals her tiara and runs. Her prince attempts to follow her to New York and rescue her, but he is thwarted by his evil stepmother's footman and his own naivety. Giselle meets a divorce lawyer with a daughter and shows him how wonderful the fairy tale story can be. They, of course, fall in love and live happily ever after in New York.
The movie was fantastic because it really poked fun at the ridiculousness of all previous Disney fairy tales. The characters were spot on, and the plot could not have been written better. I love the movie, and I plan to buy it as soon as it goes on sale!
