Enchanted (film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enchanted is a 2007 musical film, directed by Kevin Lima and produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Josephson Entertainment. It premiered on October 20, 2007 at the London Film Festival before it was released on November 21, 2007 in the United States. The film, both a homage to and a self-parody of conventional Disney animated features, makes numerous references to Disney's past and future works, and blends live action filmmaking, traditional animation and computer-generated imagery. The plot focuses on Giselle, an archetypal Disney Princess who is forced from her 2D-animated world of Andalasia into real-life New York City.
The film heralds the return of traditional animation to a Disney feature film after the company's decision to move entirely to computer animation in 2004. Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who had written songs for previous Disney films, produced Enchanted's songs, with Menken also composing its score. Starring Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey and Susan Sarandon, the film was well-received critically and garnered two nominations at the 65th Golden Globe Awards and three nominations at the 80th Academy Awards. The film also proved to be a commercial success, earning more than $300 million worldwide at the box office.[2] Plot
Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful animated world of Andalasia, where animals are talkative companions and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. She dreams of her true love and builds a statue to represent him from her dream with the help of her chipmunk friend Pip and other forest animals. As she sings about true love's kiss (in a song aptly titled "True Love's Kiss"), Prince Edward (James Marsden), a handsome but dimwitted prince with a strong ego, hears her voice in the forest and rescues her from a troll. Giselle and Edward get engaged to be married the next day but her fate takes a turn for the worse on her wedding day when his stepmother, the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon), throws her through a magic portal to "a place where there is no happily ever after" in order to keep her stepson single and thus remain queen. Giselle's plunge into darkness lands her in the live-action world of modern day New York City, where she meets Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey), a divorce lawyer who takes her into his apartment despite believing that she is crazy and worrying about the safety of his young daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey). The next morning, he becomes angry when he and his daughter find Giselle has called rats and other vermin to clean their apartment and that she has constructed a dress using material cut from his curtains. Nancy (Idina Menzel), Robert's soon-to-be-fiancée, walks in to find Robert embracing Giselle after tripping and accidentally landing on her. Giselle is dressed only in a towel, and Nancy leaves assuming the worst. Robert goes to his office with Giselle, who starts sobbing after finding out that his client and her husband are getting a divorce, thus bringing everybody down and causing Robert's boss to reprimand him. Robert takes Giselle outside the building to Central Park. At the end of his patience, Robert decides to leave Giselle but rejoins her after seeing her give the money he gave her to an old woman. During their walk through Central Park, Giselle questions Robert on how he displays his affection for Nancy and spontaneously starts the musical production number "That's How You Know" with everyone in the park performing with her. Giselle sends Nancy an apology on Robert's behalf, along with tickets to the King's and Queen's Ball. Charmed, Nancy accepts. Meanwhile, Queen Narissa's henchman Nathaniel (Timothy Spall) follows Edward and Pip, who have journeyed to New York to save Giselle. They stop at a motel, where Nathaniel questions himself and his relationship with Narissa after watching a soap opera. He sneaks out to give Giselle a poisoned apple, while Pip, unable to speak in this world, has a frustrating time alerting the Prince of the minion's intentions. Nathaniel tries twice to poison Giselle, only to be stopped by Pip, and Narissa becomes infuriated. As Giselle stays another night in Robert's apartment, Robert tells her he will help her because he does not believe Edward will show up. She becomes aggravated and then giddy when she discovers that she is experiencing anger for the first time. They both stare at each other for a moment and realize they are falling in love. Edward finds Giselle the next morning and, at her insistence, they go on a date around New York. She suggests that they go to the King's and Queen's Ball that evening while Edward gets her to agree to return with him to Andalasia right after the ball. Giselle and Edward arrive at the ball and greet Nancy and Robert. After Nancy and Edward pair off to dance to the song "So Close", Giselle dances with Robert. As Robert softly sings the lyrics to her, Giselle realizes that Robert is her true love. Nancy decides to cut in. Giselle and Edward leave for Andalasia but as she waits for Edward, Giselle is visibly upset. Narissa suddenly appears as the old hag and offers Giselle an apple that she says will make her forget the whole experience. Giselle takes a bite and collapses on the floor. Edward returns and Narissa claims Giselle fainted as Robert and Nancy run to her aid. A remorseful Nathaniel appears and confesses to all that she was poisoned with his help. He restrains Narissa, who reveals that if the spell is not broken before it is midnight, Giselle will die. Edward tries to revive Giselle through a true love's kiss but it is Robert's kiss that wakes Giselle up. Narissa transforms into a dragon, declaring that she is going to kill them all. She plans to start with Giselle but Robert intervenes and is promptly seized. Narissa snatches Robert and lures Giselle to the top of the building. Giselle chases Narissa up the building as Edward releases Pip to help her. With help from Pip, the dragon falls from the roof. Narissa tries to transform back into a human, but crashes onto a rooftop before she can complete the spell and dissolves into glitter on the pavement. Giselle catches Robert just in time as he falls and they kiss on the roof. Nancy leaves with Edward to Andalasia and they get married. Robert and Giselle open up a boutique, where they are assisted by both humans and animals. Both Nathaniel and Pip become successful authors in the modern world and Andalasia respectively. The last scene shows Giselle, Robert and Morgan playing together and living happily ever after as a family.

Lyrics:
01. Amy Adams - True Love's Kiss
Giselle: When you meet the someone who was meant for you Before two can become one there is something we must do Animal: Do you pull each others tails? Animal: Do you feed each other seeds? Giselle: No, there is something sweeter everybody needs I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss And a prince I'm hoping comes with this That's what brings everaftering so happy And that's the reason we need lips so much Four lips are the only things that touch So to spend a life of endless bliss Just find who you love through true love's kiss Giselle: aaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa Animals: aaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa Animals: Shes been dreaming of a true love's kiss And a prince she's hoping comes with this That's what brings everaftering so happy And that's the reason we need lips so much Four lips are the only things that touch Giselle: So to spend a life of endless bliss Just find who you love through true love's kiss Edward: You're the fairest maid I've ever met You were made... Giselle: ...to finish your duet Giselle and Edward: And in years to come we'll reminisce Edward: How we came to love Giselle: And grow and grow love Everyone: Since first we knew love through true love's kiss 02. Amy Adamy - Happy Working Song
All right everyone, time to tidy things up Come my little friends As we all sing a happy little working song Merry little voices clear and strong Come and roll your sleeves up So that we can pitch in Cleaning crud up in the kitchen As we sing along And you'll trill a cheery tune in the tub As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain Lug a hairball from the shower drain To the gay refrain Of a happy working song We'll keep singing without fail Otherwise we'd spoil it Hosing down the garbage pail And scrubbing up the toilet Ooh! How we all enjoy letting loose with a little La-da-da-dum-dum While we're emptying the vacu-um It's such fun to hum A happy working song Oo-ooh A happy working song Oh, how strange a place to be Till Edward comes for me My heart is sighing Still, as long as I am here I guess a new experience Could be worth trying Hey! Keep drying! You could do a lot when you got Such a happy little tune to hum While you're sponging up the soapy scum We adore each filthy chore That we determine So friends even though you're vermin We're a happy working song Singing as we fetch the detergent box Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks Sing along If you cannot sing then hum along As we're finishing our happy working song! Ah...wasn't this fun? 03. Amy Adams - That's How You know
Giselle: How does she know you love her? How does she know she's yours? Man: How does she know that you love her? Giselle: How do you show her you love her? Both: How does she know that you really, really, truely love her? How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her? How does she know that you really, really, truely love her? Giselle: It's not enough to take the one you love for granted You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say... "How do I know he loves me?" (How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her?) "How do I know he's mine?" (How does she know that you really, really, truely love her?) Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind? Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey? Heyy! He'll find a new way to show you, a little bit everyday That's how you know, that's how you know! He's your love... Man: You've got to show her you need her Don't treat her like a mind reader Each day do something to need her To believe you love her Giselle: Everybody wants to live happily ever after Everybody wants to know their true love is true... How do you know he loves you? (How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you need her?) How do you know he's yours? (How does she know that you really, really, truely-) Well does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close? Dedicate a song with words in Just for you? Ohhh! All: He'll find his own way to tell you With the little things he'll do That's how you know That's how you know! Giselle: He's your love He's your love... That's how you know (la la la la la la la la) He loves you (la la la la la la la la) That's how you know (la la la la la la la la) It's true (la la la la la) Because he'll wear your favorite color Just so he can match your eyes Rent a private picnic By the fires glow-oohh! All: His heart will be yours forever Something everyday will show That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know (That's how you know) That's how you know! Giselle: He's your love... Man: That's how she knows that you love her That's how you show her you love her Giselle: That's how you know... That's how you know... He's your love...
04. John McLaughlin - So Close
You're in my arms And all the world is calm The music playing on for only two So close together And when I'm with you So close to feeling alive A life goes by Romantic dreams will stop So I bid mine goodbye and never knew So close was waiting, waiting here with you And now forever I know All that I wanted to hold you So close So close to reaching that famous happy end Almost believing this was not pretend And now you're beside me and look how far we've come So far we are so close How could I face the faceless days If I should lose you now? We're so close To reaching that famous happy end And almost believing this was not pretend Let's go on dreaming for we know we are So close So close And still so far 05.
