Enchanted follows Giselle, a quintessentially charming princess played by Amy Adams, who is banished from her animated, magical kingdom by an evil queen and thrust into the bustling, unsentimental streets of modern Manhattan. Struggling to adapt to a world without fairy tale certainty, she encounters Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey), a pragmatic divorce lawyer who helps her navigate life's complexities. As romance blossoms between them, Giselle must reconcile her fairy tale ideals with reality and decide where her true happily ever after lies.
Trivia:
1. Amy Adams performed her own singing in the film, lending authenticity to Giselle's musical roots and enhancing the fairy-tale vibe.
2. The filmmakers incorporated traditional hand-drawn animation sequences to depict Giselle’s animated world, seamlessly blending this style with live-action scenes, which was both nostalgic and innovative for the time.
3. Patrick Dempsey prepared for his role by shadowing actual divorce lawyers to capture the nuances of his character's professional demeanor and emotional complexity.
