Enchanted's Wikipedia listing has a list of all the references to past Disney films that were found in the film ...

It's a pretty good list to check out ... particularly to see if you caught everything that they listed ...

Here's the link ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_(2007_film)

I do find a few of those so called "references" to be a little ridiculous and it sounds like someone was reading way too much into it. But, most of them are pretty good.....

I don't remember there being a "The Princess and the Frog" reference...

They have mistakes,Giselle calls the animales like Aurora,not Snow White.

I saw the movie and it was absolutely fantastic!

Spoilers ahead!

I caught a lot of Disney references, and it was great to see them tip their hat to them as they did.

The cockaroches were just too gross. I don't care if they are wearing top hats and dancing like Fred Astaire, it was still gross. The mice and rats didn't bother me. And Pip popping out a pellet was gross too. I work in a pet shop and clean up rat poop all day, I really didn't feel like seeing it on the big screen. But to each their own, lol

Edward was a pit of a putz. He reminded me much more of Gaston than any Disney Prince. I still like him, but he was just TOO stupid. I deffinetly thing his heart was in the right place, and I am sure the reason for his naiveness is in the fact he was only allowed to troll hunt. He probably didn't get much experience in the world. Neither did Giselle, but she seemed to get it a lot faster, lol

And speaking of Giselle, Amy did a fantastic job! I normally don't like the sweet sing-songy princesses like Snow White, but I like her. Mostly because of Robert. Her scenes with him were so well played. The moment she knew she was in love with him and touched his chest and how quiet they were, no words had to be spoken. It reminded me of when John Smith first saw Pocahontas. Not sure if that is what they were going for, but that is how it felt to me. And in the ballroom scene, again, no words had to be spoken to see how lost Giselle and Robert were when they danced with Nancy and Edward. So sad.

Back to Edward, okay, he's not that stupid. When he realized his kiss didn't and wouldn't work, he knew the truth. And yet, that was probably his strongest moment. How he told Robert and stepped away and smiled. It was fantastic.

I like the fact that Robert's wife left them. She didn't die. She left. In fairytales, mother's don't leave their children. In the real world, sadly they do. I am sure this was hard for Giselle to understand, why a mother would leave the man she vowed to love and the child they created. And then when Robert allows Giselle to stay over, he goes into his daughter's room and tells her to sleep in his bedroom that night. It was a nice touch as a father. That he is letting Giselle stay, who he thinks is a bit crazy, but he wants to be sure his daughter is safe and staying her father's room would be. Don't know why I like that. Maybe just because I am a parent.

Susan makes a fantastic villain! The overall look was fantastic. I LOVED her crown. The silver and the shape of a dragon's head subtly in the middle. And her dragon form was phenomenal. I love that she didn't have wings. And her small muzzle and huge crest. Her tail was also awesome. And the color of her scales reminds me of these dragon sculptures I always see at the local gift shops.

The ending was so great. Nancy with Edward and Giselle with Robert.

A review on Yahoo from E! Online gave it a B+ and said "...it looks like Disney got its groove back."

Good to hear.

For those that have seen it, how was the new Goofy short?

The Little Merman · Post by **The Little Merman** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 9:04 pm

Wasn't tacked on my screening.

Or, apparently, any for that matter.

So what movie will it show with? National Treasure 2 maybe?

The Little Merman · Post by **The Little Merman** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 10:01 pm

It's weird, I hadn't even heard anything about a cartoon being with it in the first place.

It might be on NT2--I don't know. Weird, weird, weird.

It's supposed to be the brand new Goofy short How To Hook Up Your Home Theater.

The Little Merman · Post by **The Little Merman** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 10:20 pm

Hm. Yep--wasn't there. Hopefully we'll see it sometime around.

Welcome to the boards, by the way.

Anyone know if the art book will ever be released for this movie? I couldn't get enough of the animation in the movie.

And yes, the movie was amazing!
