"The movies like to promise girls and women a happily ever after, but it’s unusual that one delivers an ending that makes you feel unsullied and uncompromised, that doesn’t make you want to reach for your Simone de Beauvoir or a Taser". This comment is extracted from The New York Times's review of the movie.
Enchanted is the story about the beautiful princess Giselle, living in the animated fairytale world Andalasia. When Giselle falls in love with the handsome prins Prince Edward, her mother, the evil queen Narissa is so upset she casts an evil spell on Giselle, sending her to a place of no love and harmony, real-life Manhattan. The reason why the Queen sends Giselle to the real-life is that this is " the place where there're no ' happily ever afters' ".
The once upon a time begins with the animated Giselle, a pastel creation with a pointy chin and trilling voice, merrily chattering with her furry and feathered woodland friends. Although she isn’t scrubbing down the front steps in rags and clogs, Giselle has clearly been conceived, more thematically than visually, along the same lines as classic Disney heroines like Snow White and Cinderella. She’s pretty, she’s perky, she’s flat (well, not entirely), and when she sings about her one true love, it isn’t long before he emerges on horseback.
When Giselle comes to NY., she is not only scared of the large and strange place but also the cold and unfriendly citizens. She runs all the way asking for help, but no one answers. The thing that scares her most is that she could not see a smile on the New Yorkers' faces. Fortunately, she finally meets an honest lawyer and his motherless daughter. At first, he intends to put her up for just one night, but when he looks at her innocent and pretty face when she sleeps, he could not pick up the phone to call a taxi for her.
During her stay at the lawyer's house, a lot of troubles are caused and you just cannot help laughing when you see how the animals help her do the housework. Also, you will be impressed by the lovely costumes that the main actress wears and the exciting theme songs.
Here comes some pictures from the movie.

great movie ^^ i like it. it makes me believe that there's always happiness 4 all the ppl in this frigid world if they really respect it ^^
[ but i dunt like the actress who acts the part of Princess :"> she looks a little older than the Lawyer or the Prince :)) ]
At first, I thought she was older than her age, but when I saw her in the green dress made from the curtains, I changed my mind. However, it's undeniable that she is so beautiful, just like a real princess.
I have had no chance to see it. But after your writting , I wonder why I don’t try to go to the movie, and see it. It is fairly pretty.
