Enchanted

[gobo]

Any fellow Disney-despisers saw this movie and loved it? The woman behind me almost freaked out when she saw Amy Adams stepping out of the shower with those birds wrapping a towel around her. :evilgrin: I just wish they had more family-friendly parodies of this caliber. :ohwell:

I was just glad to see traditional animation on the screen again, but then they had to go and execute their concept better (and with more sincerity! :O) than I expected. Best movie of the year? No, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Of course, I don't despise Disney (just the opposite :P) but I liked the idea of someone coming to the real world out of a fantasy world and having to deal with it.
And she not only dealt with it, she chose it over the mindless life she'd been living. I'm just glad the prince got the other girl - woulda felt bad for him otherwise.
My main complaint was that there were a couple of random and completely unnecessary instances of scatological humor... most obviously, the peeing dog and the "oh crud" thing for the chipmunk where it actually shoots out a little turd. They just weren't funny and I can only assume they were there for the under-12 boys who think anything with poop in it is funny. The film didn't need any comic relief, it had already provided its own.

But other than that, I enjoyed it. The main character was cute - reminded me of a roommate I had once.

I'm not a Disney-despiser by any means, though I do hate most of their modern theatrical stuff.

Enchanted looked like a potentially funny concept and kind of had me interested. Not certain if I want to brave the screaming kiddies to go see it or not.

As was already mentioned, I'm *dying* to see a traditionally animated flick on the big screen. I haven't seen one of those since 2005, and I had to go to Japan to see it.

I went to go see it, and this movie wasn't bad. I went to go see the Mist before this, which was incredibly depressing but still good, so it acted of a kinda counter weight being all cheery and whatnot.

I was just going to go see it to support traditional animation, but its good to hear that I might get some good old fashioned Disney enjoyment out of it as well. :)

I finally got to see this movie yesterday, and thought it was adorable (although, I felt the way the handled the baddie at the end was a tad disappointing).

One of the reasons I was FURIOUS that they never brought Asterix and the Vikings over here (they did once, at a film festival, and it was locked away forever).

I was going to see this for one reason, but Disney had to screw it up. They originally planned to have a Goofy cartoon at the beginning (How to hook up your Home Entertainment System), but they decided to put it with that horrible National treasure 2 film instead.

I'm right there with you. I miss animated movies. I dont mind computer animation, but theres just too damn much of it. I wouldnt have even minded tmnt being done in the old disney style, with nice crisp, smooth animation (: Would have been a little strange, but it would have been neat.

Me as well. I almost went to see Curious George for that reason. I mean, I LOVE Pixar. Dreamworks and Blue Sky are Okay... but there is just too much of it that it oversaturated the market.

I saw this movie over the weekend and really enjoyed it. It blended animation with real life, which is something we haven't seen in a little while. Overall, I thought it was great. I liked the fact that Giselle went to Robert instead of Prince Edward, though I wasn't sure if she would do that or not. It was just awesome how they put it all together.

I just saw this (only previewed in the UK this weekend, not actually out until the 14th). I'm a huge fan of the 90s Disney musicals and with Menken and Schwartz doing the music and lyrics I had very high expectations (even after the terrible Chicken Little) and was not disappointed.

I loved every minute of it, though I would have loved the extended end battle that is said to have been cut and the final song "Enchanted" between Edward and Nancy that wasn't put in (rumor has it that will be on DVD but Indina says she was unaware of it so it was never recorded, hopefully they'll get her and James Marsden back to sing it rather than just use the demo).

To me this film says Disney is returning to its best, I just hope they can continue to build on this like the did in the late 80s/early 90s.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree with that. This was one of the best things they've done in a long time. I remember some of the old live-action/animation films such as Mary Poppins, Pete's Dragon, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Enchanted has just joined them as one of the good Disney movies.

[MrPliggins]

I thought this movie looked stupid from the previews. Went with my gf the other night and I actually liked it! The plot was ridiculously predictable, but it was cute and had charm. I kind of got annoyed by the chipmunk though.

[Sage Ninja]

if this is traditional animation, I might give it a shot. But really my opinion of Disney has become more and more jaded over the years. :roll:

I thought the same thing. That's actually why I went to see it. :D Its obviously satirical elements called to me.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Amy Adams is really cute.

But I don't think I'm going to see this any time soon. I tend to be years behind when it comes to Disney movies.

[gobo]

Amy Adams is GORGEOUS! It's surprising to find out that she's even older than me. She's 32 right now. :o I never would have guessed...
