Enchanted
December 3, 2007

You know, I thought I got it out of my system by writing about the new Disney movie
Enchanted on my
MySpace blog, but I was wrong. It has been a long time since I've been so captivated by a movie that I wanted to see it twice...in one day (the last time was
Grease and we did stay at the theater to watch it a second time. Unfortunately, I'd left my headlights on in my car and had a dead battery when I came out).
Enchanted follows an animated Giselle who, with all her forest creature friends, spends her days singing and wishing for true love's kiss. Prince Edward is sick of hunting trolls and hears her alluring song. Of course, there is an evil stepmother trying to stop the happy union by banishing our fair maiden into the cynical real world of New York City.
Seeing the animation come to life with all the mannerisms and speech patterns of the cartoon world is nothing short of delightful. And the musical number in Central Park will have even the most curmudgeon of movie goers humming along and tapping their feet (I did both).
All night I thought about what it was that made me feel so good about seeing this movie and I discovered it was the same thing that makes me enjoy a good book...a good story with a happy ending. There was a heroine and hero worth cheering for, adversity, comedic relief, inside jokes and a battle with good triumphing evil. All is well in my world.
Bottom Line: Blatant hint for my Christmas gift...movie tickets,
Enchanted dvd and soundtrack (Central Park not included).
