There is a sequel called Disenchanted which was released on Disney+ in 2022, 15 years after this one (it takes place 10 years later). Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden and Idina Menzel all reprise their roles (Idina and Patrick both sing in it), along wite ro some new cast members. It's certainly not as good as this one but it's an interesting and a quite original concept. This movie was in development for many years before finally getting made. It was originally going to be R-rated as the first draft of the script had Giselle ending up at a bachelor party and being mistaken for a stripper. This is the first feature-length Disney movie which mixes live-action and traditional animation since 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Disney actually did not do the animation since they had shut down its 2D animation division. Instead they turned to James Baxter, one of their former employees, who had his own company by then. This was the movie that made Amy Adams a household name. It's hard to believe because she's so good but the role of Giselle was not made for her. She was among 250 actresses who auditioned and the studio had favored the casting of a bigger star, but director Kevin Lima (who also voices Pip) wanted her due to her commitment to the part. Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell, Laura Dern, Zooey Deschanel, Salma Hayek, Uma Thurman, Renée Zellweger and Christina Aguilera were among those considered to play Giselle. James Marsden auditioned for Robert but was later cast as Prince Edward. Keanu Reeves, Sean Penn, Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe were considered to play Robert. Russell Crowe was considered as Prince Edward. Geena Davis, Anjelica Huston, Jessica Lange and Julianne Moore were considered for Queen Narissa which eventually went to Susan Sarandon. Disney had originally planned to add Giselle to the Disney princess line-up but decided against it when they realised they would have to pay for life-long rights to Amy Adams' image. Amy Adams actually crawled into a real New York City manhole just so that she could be filmed climbing out of it. The people on the tour buses laughing and pointing at Edward weren't extras but real tourists. In the scene where Edward is run over by the cyclists, James Marsden was actually hit by them for real. The cyclists were just meant to "bump" him and he would fake a fall. But he didn't think it looked good so he insisted on filming the collision for real. Shooting the "That's How You Know" musical number took 17 days due to extreme weather changes. It was also hard due to Patrick Dempsey's intense fanbase since it was at the height of his popularity in Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Derek Shepherd (aka Dr. McDreamy). In preparation for the ball scene, Patrick Dempsey accidentally ripped Amy Adams' toenails. As we see Giselle progress into a modern woman, so does her wardrobe. She begins in the over-the-top wedding gown (which weighed 45 pounds/20 kg and she fell several times under its weight), then to the very princessy long gown, to a very girly but short dress and finally into a modern evening gown. In the same way, Robert's wardrobe goes from suit and tie to more casual clothing and ending in a very prince-like outfit at the ball. In fact, the outfit Robert wears at the ball is identical to the one on the mannequin Giselle makes at the beginning. When Giselle and Robert are walking through Central Park he says that most people get to know each other before they get married and Giselle says she knows what's in Edward's heart. Later, when Giselle gets angry at Robert in his apartment, she moves closer to him, presses her hand against his heart and looks up at him in shock. Then when Robert gives her a true love's kiss at the ball to save her life, Giselle awakens, looks at him and says "I knew it was you", indicating that she was able to feel his affections towards her the night she got so angry. At the end of Robert and Giselle's dance, when Nancy cuts in, the camera angle makes it look as though she is wearing a crown. This foreshadows that she will become the future ruler of Andalasia when she marries Edward. Idina Menzel, a Broadway veteran and Tony Award winner, does not sing in the movie. Though Nancy and Prince Edward were originally supposed to sing a duet called "Enchanted" (which got replaced by the ending song "Ever Ever After" by Carrie Underwood—which contains the word "Enchanted"), in an interview she said she felt flattered to be hired mainly as an actress. Patrick Dempsey does sing a little bit when Robert sings along with the song at the ball. There was also a villain song for Narissa called "Nobody Gets In My Way" that was supposed to be used but it got cut. In spite of three songs from the movie being nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars ("Happy Working Song", "That's How You Know" and "So Close"), they were beaten by "Falling Slowly" from the movie Once. For some reason Amy Adams only sang "Happy Working Song" and Kristin Chenoweth sang "That's How You Know". Demi Lovato did a cover of "That's How You Know" as part of a Disney cover album. Demi also did a cover of "Let It Go" on the Frozen soundtrack (and ending credits) which was sung by Idina Menzel. Disney and other movie references: Mary Poppins - Dame Julie Andrews, who starred as the title character, is the narrator. The divorced couple, Mr. and Mrs. Banks, are named after characters from the movie and the bird lady from the bus Giselle talks to says "Do you want to feed the birds? Only a dollar a bag", a reference to a character and song in the movie. Also, one of the elderly male dancers during "That's How You Know" was a chimney sweep. The dance also takes clear inspiration from the choreography in "Step in Time". The Sound of Music - The shot where Dame Julie Andrews sings "The hills are alive with the sound of music" is re-created during the "That's How You Know" number when Giselle runs up the hill. Giselle makes a dress out of the curtains just like Maria does. Snow White - True love's kiss. The front of the troll's loincloth consists of pieces of clothing of former Disney princesses, including Snow White's dress. When Giselle appears in the real world she mistakes someone for Grumpy. When Robert and Giselle are walking through Central Park, an evil face can be seen carved into the poisoned apple, similar to the one seen when the evil Queen dips the apple in poison. The queen disguising herself as an old woman and offering Giselle a poisoned apple. The song "True Love's Kiss" is an homage to I'm Wishing. "Happy Working Song" shares similarities with and is inspired by the songs "Whistle While You Work" and "Heigh-Ho". Additionally, the musical number references similar scenes from the movie. Sleeping Beauty - True love's kiss. Giselle creates her dream man just like Aurora does. The back of the troll's loincloth consists of pieces of clothing of former Disney princesses, including Aurora's "peasant" look. Robert's surname is Philip, which is the first name of the prince. Queen Narissa transforms into a dragon-like beast at the end, the same as Maleficent, and when Narissa reveals the unconscious Giselle behind her is the same way Maleficent reveals Aurora to the fairies. Cinderella - The back of the troll's loincloth consists of pieces of clothing of former Disney princesses, including Cinderella's "peasant" look. The castle on the billboard for the Palace Casino is modeled after Cinderella's castle. During "Happy Working Song" when Giselle is scrubbing the bathroom floor and her reflection appears in the soap bubbles is a nod to a similar scene in the movie. Nancy's surname is Tremaine which is the surname of Cinderella's stepmother. Giselle losing her shoe and Prince Edward putting it on Nancy. The song "True Love's Kiss" is an homage to "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes". "Happy Working Song" shares similarities with and is inspired by "The Work Song". The Little Mermaid - At the beginning when Prince Edward hears Giselle sing he says that he must find that voice, the same way Prince Eric does when he hears Ariel sing. The troll's earrings are the same shells as Ariel's. Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel, plays Robert's secretary. While Giselle is looking in the fish tank at Robert's work, "Part of Your World" is playing in the background. "That's How You Know" is an homage to and a parody of "Under the Sea". Giselle and Robert heading out on a rowboat is a nod to "Kiss the Girl". Beauty and the Beast - The front of the troll's loincloth consists of pieces of clothing of former Disney princesses, including Belle's dress that she wears throughout most of the movie. When Edward is flipping through TV channels in the hotel room, the woman on the soap opera is Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle. The soap opera's background music is the title song and the scene itself is similar to the bandaging scene. "Happy Working Song" shares similarites with and is inspired by the songs "Belle" and "Something There". "That's How You Know" is an homage to and a parody of "Be Our Guest". The chandelier shot in the ballroom is a perfect copy of the one in this. Pocahontas - Judy Kuhn, the voice of Pocahontas, opens the first door Edward knocks on in Robert's building—the pregnant mum with all the kids who says he's late (as in Prince Charming). The Lady and the Tramp - The restaurant at which Edward and Gisele have dinner is called Bella Notte, the name of the song being sung while Lady and Tramp are eating spaghetti. Mulan - When Gisele climbs the tower to battle Narissa there is a brief shot of her standing with the sword on the tower, a shot nearly identical to a shot featured in the scene when Mulan is battling Shan-Yu. The Lion King - Pumba makes a cameo appearance at the end as one of the animals waiting in line for Pip's autograph. Bambi - Thumper and Flower make a cameo appearance at the beginning. West Side Story - Two of the elderly male dancers during "That's How You Know" were dancers in the movie. Hidden Mickey - The bus driver's hair is shaped like Mickey Mouse's ears, as well as the green pepper slices on the pizza Robert and Giselle are served at the restaurant. In the scene where Edward is on the bus, in the background large posters can be seen advertising the musicals Rent and Wicked which starred Idina Menzel. A poster can also be seen for the Broadway production of Hairspray—James Marsden starred in the 2006 movie—and a poster of Superman Returns in which James appeared as well.
