BURBANK, Calif., January 17, 2008 – An acclaimed new Disney classic with a hilarious twist
casts a heartwarming spell when Enchanted comes to stunning Blu-ray High Definition and
DVD on March 18, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Enchanted cleverly combines heartfelt romance with a gentle spoof of Disney films of the past
as an animated heroine from a far away kingdom finds herself transformed into a real live
woman in bustling New York City. Academy Award® nominee Amy Adams (2005 nominee for
Best Supporting Actress; Junebug) leads an all-star cast as the lovely Giselle, a storybook
princess-to-be lost in the Big Apple. Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (1996 winner for
Best Actress in a Leading Role; Dead Man Walking) plays the evil sorceress Narissa who exiles
Giselle from her fairytale kingdom and James Marsden (Hairspray) is her handsome prince, with
Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) as a contemporary knight in shining armor and Tony
Award® winner Idina Menzel (2004 winner for Best Leading Actress in a Musical; “Wicked”) as
his girlfriend Nancy who suspects Giselle might just be a little too good to be true.
The film features dazzling animation sequences, spectacular costumes and unforgettable songs
by award-winning composers Alan Menken (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and Stephen
Schwartz (Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame).

throne, the prince’s evil mother Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) transports Giselle from her
whimsical homeland to the worst place she can think of—Times Square. Suddenly transformed
from animated beauty into flesh and blood girl, the comely lass twirls her way through the urban
jungle, blissfully unaware that dreams don’t always come true. Rescued from the streets by
divorce lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey), who suspects she’d be better off in Bellevue, and
