I started watching it on the plane back from Barbados, and fell asleep halfway through it. It really did bore me. I just didn’t care about the characters at all. It just might be that it’s not my type of film, but there was just something very…uncomplete about it. I can see why people enjoy it, though; it was pretty funny at parts.
I liked it a lot but I can’t seem to watch the DVD all the way through. Maybe it’s just 'cause my mind’s been elsewhere nowadays, but also because I feel like I know most of the film, in my mind, though I’ve only seen it once. That’s strange. 
It wasn’t even very simplistic either.
FONY, is something wrong? I’m really starting to get concerned about you.
JL: I’m sorry, but I didn’t understand what you said there. Could you please explain?
Ohmygods, I’m watching it now and has anyone ever been to that restaurant that the Prince Edward and Nathaniel went to in that one scene? I need to bug my father about going back there again. It’s been in a whole bunch of movies - went there when I was five and rather ignorant just 'cause I hadn’t seen the films it was in at that time (though, it did look familiar.) It’s cool. 
FONY: It must be a famous restaurant if it has been in so many other films. Probably a famous New York cafeteria thing? It might be on Wickedpedia (not that you should trust them 100%).
I’d normally check Wiki but for this I’ll just ask my dad.
Oh, btw, did anyone catch the bloopers? Pretty funny. 
What bloopers? Aw, mannn! 
Not in the theatre, A113, if that’s what you’re thinking - on the DVD. 
What??!!?!?! It was on the DVD?!?!?!?!1
The only time I saw it was on DVD, and I can’t believe I missed that. Oh, well. Is it on YouTube (temporarily)?
Hahah, basically I was analyzing the movie for it’s Heroic Journey. The Heroic Journey is a basic story backbone which can be seen across stories of multiple generations and cultures.
The basic structure is that the protagonist goes through a process in which they become a hero.
- Innocence - The hero starts at a stage of innocence, everything is happy and this usually occurs as the hero’s childhood, but not always.
- Initiation - Basically, the hero is tempted by some force or thrown into obtaining a greater knowledge. Can be seen as puberty.
- Chaos - Here is the full-blown teenage years. This is where the climax most likely occurs and there is the choice of having this greater knowledge despite the hardships is may bring and a desire to return to ignorant innocence.
- Resolution - Can be seen as adulthood. The hero learns to turn the new knowledge into wisdom as the wisdom the hero has gained is more valuable than innocence.
This is basically a story of growing up. The Heroic Journey pattern can be seen in Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Ratatouille, and as I was trying to prove, Enchanted.
The Heroic Journey is pretty much the best thing about high school English. 
Yeah, it’s on there.
Sorry to disagree, but I actually felt that the [spoiler] dragon scene was really good, because I never thought that Giselle would be the hero, considering how naiive and innocent she was in the beginning. It made the story’s ending somewhat surprising, and not as predictable as the usual fairytale. I always wanted to see a fairy tale where the girl can be the hero for a change. The only thing I felt was wrong about that scene was that Narissa was still talking even in dragon form.
But one thing I didn’t really understand was: why would Narissa still plan to kill Giselle even when she’s in love with someone else and probably won’t come back to Andalasia? [/spoiler]
Something else I noticed that separates Giselle from other Disney princesses- the others are teenagers; Giselle is an adult.
Sorry to double-post here. I wonder if anyone noticed that when [spoil]Prince Edward and Nathaniel are in the hotel, thinking that the TV is a magic mirror, Prince Edward switches to a channel that isn’t shown[/spoil], but the audio is from Dumbo. To be specific, [spoil]the fast-playing crazy song Pink Elephants. [/spoil]
Thanks, FONY, they were hilarious! 
B•-R: Yes, that was quite confusing for me.
Fun fact: Did you know that the animals during the Happy Working Song were real, except for when they’re doing chores and all the bugs? They used trained rats and birds for running around in and out at the beginning and end.
For the parts probably too difficult to get the animals to do, they animated them, but used the images of the actual animals.
B•-R: Really? Cool!
Speaking of which, according to a source I found on Yahoo.com, Enchanted is the last movie ever to have 3 song nominations at the Oscars. THe new rule states that only 2 songs can be nominated from a single film.
TSS: That is interesting. I guess they couldn’t choose just two out of this film, huh?
I’ve seen plenty of videos on YouTube where they point out the most obvious classic Disney references, like Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and Sleeping Beauty. But I know there’s much more, maybe a little less obvious.
Here’s a list I made of Enchanted’s references to other classic Disney films.
Alice in Wonderland:
1. Giselle falls down an unlikely place to a world she is not familiar with, and thinks that their ways are silly.
2. She flips upside down as she falls down the well, similar to the way Alice fell down the rabbit hole
Snow White:
1. Falling for an evil queen disguised as an old hag’s tricks.
2. One of the tricks involve making her think that she can wish on the well, as Snow White wished on the apple
3. The second trick involved a poison apple, with just one bite
4. The queen had someone do it for her, but when that person failed, the queen’s anger brought her to do it herself.
5. Meeting “true love” for a short while, then marrying
6. True love’s kiss
7. Animals helping clean up/ making new friends
8. Evil queen is also a sorceress
9. Villain is a stepmother
10. The “magic mirror”
11. Giselle calls a short rude man “Grumpy”
12. Giselle mentions how hospitable she hears the Seven Dwarves are.
13. At the beginning of the film, Giselle looks through some blue shiny
diamonds. The way she gazes through them is just like how Dopey did it.
14. Queen Narissa, like the Queen in Snow White, was so cruel to the next princess all because she never wanted to give up her throne
Sleeping Beauty
1. Awakening to True love’s kiss
2. Communicating with various animals
3. Prince from her dreams
4. Prince finds her by following her voice
5. Narissa becomes a dragon, as Maleficent did
6. When dancing to the song “That’s How You Know”, Giselle’s dress waves around like when Aurora danced with the animals.
7. Prince Edward dances around with Nathaniel, simlar to Prince Phillip dancing with Hubert.
The Little Mermaid
1. Learning about another world
2. Robert doesn’t realize where Giselle’s from, as Prince Eric didn’t know about Ariel
3. It started out as taking her in to help her, but later Robert falls in love with her
4. Giselle is friends with Pip, but everyone else thinks he should be killed, as in TLM, Sebastian was almost killed.
5. When Giselle is admiring the fish tank, the song Part of your World is playing in the background.
6. In the song sequence That’s How You Know, it starts as one person singing and more and more join in, like Under the Sea.
7. That’s How You Know begins with a Carribean accent.
8. At the park, someone is dressed as a giant starfish? Not so sure about this one.
9. Villain wants the crown
10. As in The Little Mermaid II, Giselle has to choose between two worlds, the same as Melody did.
11. Jodie Benson (voice of Ariel) plays Robert’s assistant.
12. Admiring a statue of her love
13. There is a scene involving Robert rowing a boat with Giselle in it.
14. This one probably isn’t officially intended , but I thought it was funny how in TLM Ariel is almost seen nude, but it is barely seen. Scuttle tells her how to dress with a towel. And when Giselle came out of the shower, she was so close to being seen so, but the birds prevented that from being shown by flying over and covering her with a towel.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
1. Narissa is defeated by falling off the building and exploding into dust, similar to Frollo’s death as he falls off the church.
2. Sliding down a roof
Cinderella
1. Giselle loses her slipper
2. She goes to the ball in a dress different from everyone else’s
3. She mentioned a fairy godmother
4. The villain is a stepmother
5. As in Cinderella III, there is a difficult decision regarding true love.
6. Making new friends/ animals help clean up
7. Birds help her “dress” after she takes a bath
8. Animals help make her dress
9. Birds tie her bow during the Happy Working Song
10…I think the rest of the Happy Working Song is self-explanatory
Beauty and the Beast
1. Giselle’s terror in seeing the dragon try to kill Robert, as Belle was horrified when she saw Gaston trying to kill the Beast.
2. Bravery in the end, even though at first the new place was hard to adapt with
3. Morgan is like Chip, a cute innocent little kid who is curious, imaginative, and wants to help Giselle/Belle as much as possible.
4. Isn’t really officailly a princess, but still considered one.
5. The ballroom sequence is similar to Beauty and the Beast’s ballroom scene
6. Like the Beast, Robert is changed mentally by Giselle; Edward is changed physically.
7. There is a scene where Prince Edward checks his teeth while admiring his reflection on his sword, similar to the scene where Gaston checks his teeth in Belle’s mirror.
8. A part of the song sequence “That’s How You Know” involves Giselle running out to an open field. This is simlar to Belle runing out to an open field with dandelions.
The Lion King
1. The way Giselle hides behind Robert when the dragon appears is similar to the way Nala hid behind Simba as cubs when the hyenas came near them
2. Similar to the way Simba left his home and stayed with Timon and Pumbaa, Giselle decided to stay in N.Y. away from Andalasia
3. Narissa is like Scar- willing to kill someone in the way of getting/keeping the throne.
Mulan
1. As Mulan saved Shang’s life, Giselle saved Robert’s, rather than the man saving the woman.
Aladdin
1. The way Narissa became a dragon and still talked is similar to the way Jafar became a snake and still spoke.
2. Similar to a part in Aladdin and the King of Theives, where Jasmine wore many different dresses that belonged to other Disney princesses, at the end of Enchanted, Giselle began a fashion store designed like fairy tale princesses.
3. Aladdin had his sidekick, Abu; Edward had Pip
Dumbo
1. In the scene where Edward is in the hotel, background music for a few seconds as he flips the switch on the T.V. is the theme from Pink Elephants
Lady and the Tramp
[spoil]1. When Giselle and Robert have Italian dinner, it’s based on a famous scene.[/spoil]
Hercules
[spoil]1. Admiring a statue of true love
2. Just as Phil tries to warn Hercules about a double-crosser, Pip tries to warn Prince Edward.
3. The way Giselle gets stuck through the door is like Pegasus getting stuck. [/spoil]
Peter Pan
[spoil]1. Giselle getting stuck through the door reminds me of Tinker Bell getting stuck through the keyhole of a drawer.[/spoil]
Bambi
[spoil]1. They looked at the young animals in Bambi to get an idea of how Pip should be like. [/spoil]
The Sword in the Stone
[spoil]1. They looked back at the scene with the squirrels, and referenced them to Pip’s movements.[/spoil]
Mary Poppins
[spoil]1. Cleaning up is “fun”[/spoil]
Lilo and Stitch (?)
- OK, maybe not really a reference. I just thought this was a way they were similar: both movies make two almost opposite and totally different worlds collide: peaceful Hawaii/exciting outer space- perfect classic fairy tale land/a busy city in modern New York
Feel free to add more if I missed any!
Wow! Nice work, B•-R! 
Amazing stuff I never knew about.
Nice list you made there! Good job!
