The hits kept on coming with a very long presentation on Disney’s holiday film Enchanted, which looks to be getting a very big push from the company from the amount of time spent talking about it at the presentation. In a nutshell, the plot involves a cheerful animated princess named Giselle crossing over into the real world but ending up on the cynical streets of New York City. It stars Amy Adams as the princess with Patrick Dempsey as a New Yorker she befriends (one would imagine a love interest, too) and James Marsden as Prince Edward, another animated fairy tale character. The presenter said that the movie will blend the sensibilities of Snow White with that of Pretty Woman and Pirates of the Caribbean (in terms of the action)… oh, and it’s also a musical of sorts with a number of song and dance numbers written by Alan Menken and Steven Schwartz (famous for their songs from Disney hits like The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and the Beast.)
What’s interesting about Enchanted is that it’s very Disney in terms of being animated at first and then becoming something more like a Princess Diaries fish-out-of-water comedy, plus it has a lot of images and the sensibilties of classic Disney films. A lot of footage was shown from the movie, as well as soundbites from director Kevin Lima and various cast and crew. They closed with a clip showing Amy Adams singing “The Happy Working Song” while getting local New York City critters to clean up Dempsey’s messy apartment, a scene mirroring a similar one in Snow White, except that Giselle’s menagerie was made up of rats, mice and cockroaches.
