Can fairy tales come true in the real world? One princess is about to find out in Disney's new musical adventure Enchanted . Directed by Kevin Lima ( 102 Dalmatians ) with a deftly clever screenplay crafted by Bill Kelly ( Blast From the Past ), this crossbreed of reality and fantasy takes off in the animated fairytale land of Andalusia where Princess Giselle and her gallant Prince Edward fall deeply in love with each other. But the typical fairytale ending is disrupted by the prince's evil stepmother Queen Narissa who feels threatened by their impending marriage and does what most wicked stepmothers do: pushes the poor princess into a well. But the well turns out to be a magical gateway between the fairytale world and the real world. Crawling out of a manhole in the middle of busy Manhattan street, Giselle sheds her animated figure and dons human form as Oscar nominee Amy Adams ( Junebug ). Harsh reality soon sinks in as Giselle discovers that in the real world, people are not always so likable and rarely does anyone break out into happy songs. Her fantasy idealism does not sit well with New Yorkers either, soon alienating her from the rest of the world. Then one fateful night, Giselle meets Robert (Patrick Dempsey, Grey's Anatomy ), a jaded divorce lawyer with a young daughter, who takes sympathy on her and offers to let her stay at his place until she finds her own. A deep bond begins to form between the unlikely pair. Trouble lurks, however, as the evil Queen (Susan Sarandon, Stepmom ) figures her way through the well and plots to kill Giselle with a poisoned apple. Though still waiting for her groom-to-be Prince Edward (James Marsden, Hairspray ) to scoop her back safely to the land of eternal sunshine, Giselle wonders what it is that's holding her back from leaving the real world. A fascinating, unique brand of entertainment, Enchanted achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, receiving three Oscar nominations at the 80th Academy Awards and grossing over $300 million at the box office worldwide. Longtime Disney fans are in for a sumptuous treat as the film makes tons of references to earlier Disney favorites like Snow White , Sleeping Beauty , Little Mermaid , and Poccahontas . A timeless classic that will enthrall romanticists of all ages, Enchanted will instantly lock you under its magical spell.
