I loved Enchanted SO HARD. I've been DYING for something good from the Disney studios that hearkens back to the good old days of quality and 2D animation.
My big disappointment is how shitty the DVD is. A few featurettes, useless deleted scenes, an ok gag reel, and a music video? And a cartoon. No REAL making-of bonus material? Ugh, GTFO Disney.
Although they did make up for it a little with a bonus DVD you may still be able to get at Target which includes the 30-minute documentary Becoming Enchanted, which is AMAZING. I actually bought my copy at a local retailer, but a friend of mine bought me the Target version so I could have the bonus disc.  I ended up donating the extra Enchanted DVD to the library, cause they only had the fullscreen DVD. Yucky icky poo poo! |

| I just...maybe I'm thinking too practically on this . Everyone's all "MAN, DISNEY DID IT AGAIN! IT'S JUST LIKE THOSE GOOD OLD FASHIONED DISNEY FILMS!!"....yeah, no kidding. That's the point . They spoofed their own formula, so I'd HOPE it would feel the same as the others in some sense. If I didn't walk away feeling like this was a "classic Disney movie" because of how it was presented, they kinda did it wrong . |

Hmm... I can kinda see both sides o' the story here. On the one hand, having the good old-fashioned stuff is fun for nostalgia's sake, but on the other hand... well, I like to be surprised! So few movies can do that.
I do want to see it, but from the sound of it, its formulaic layout will make it a flitty fantasy that will soon be forgotten.
On the other hand, it'll be fun seeing 'em lampshade the silliness of animated movies. SOMEBODY had to! |

You know, that's probably more or less why I'm not blown away by this movie at all . I saw everything coming and nothing was new to me. It was cute and I liked it, but I'm almost tired of them playing it safe with their films now . I KNOW Disney is capable of making cute, happy feel good films like this; that's why I love them, but when are we gonna go back to trying NEW things? NEW types of stories? Pixar has the right idea! All Enchanted felt like to me was "Man, remember when Disney movies use to open like this and there was animation like this and there were songs/song sequences that was sorta like this and then these two people had all these scenes building up to their relationship like this and they had a huge memorable love scene like this and shit hit the fan because the villain broke it up like this and then it was solved like this and then they lived happily ever after like this? Weren't those stories great, guys? Let's give them a big round of applause, Disney geeks ". Ok, I did...so is that it?
Again, it's a cute film and all, but I'm waiting for Disney to stop recyling their movies and characters/character ideals, and remember the cute quote they put at the end of Meet the Robinsons--"We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things." |

AG: Yes, I totally agree. I want new stuff, but I also liked this one for what it is. They told the story well, entertaining me even when I knew what was coming. I'll have to wait a little longer for the fresher stuff, is all.
*can't believe I had such a major misspelling* |

I'm absolutely in love with this movie. I already fangirl Edward.
But, yeah, the lack of Aladdin references is fail. |

It's nothing like The 10th Kingdom, it doesn't explore the complexities of the original fairy tales. This is more an homage/parody of their Disney animated films. If you go in with that in mind, you won't be disappointed. It is predictable, but in a way that's the charm of it. |
