Press Release Body: A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York
City in a story about a fairytale princess (AMY ADAMS) from the land of Andalasia
who is thrust into the heart of New York City by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON).
Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love
after meeting a handsome lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY). Can a storybook view of romance
survive in the real world?
A lively, original fish-out-of-water comedy and a modern twist on the classic
Disney fairytales, ENCHANTED blends fantasy, action, music, CG effects, hand-drawn
animation and live-action to create a wholly unique romantic comedy for all ages.
Featuring an all-star cast, ENCHANTED is directed by KEVIN LIMA ("Tarzan," "Eloise
at Christmastime") and produced by BARRY JOSEPHSON ("Hide and Seek," television's
"Bones") and BARRY SONNENFELD (both "Men in Black" films, television's "Pushing
Daisies"). It is written by BILL KELLY ("Premonition," "Blast from the Past").
The film is executive-produced by CHRIS CHASE ("Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a
Glitch," "Return To Never Land," "Tarzan"), SUNIL PERKASH ("Premonition," "Blast
from the Past") and EZRA SWERDLOW ("Invincible," "Little Manhattan"). The film
features original songs from the reunited team of acclaimed composer ALAN MENKEN
and lyricist STEPHEN SCHWARTZ ("Pocahontas," "Hunchback of Notre Dame").
For the lovely Giselle (Adams), life is a fairytale. literally.
She has everything needed to make a perfect princess-a beautiful countenance, a
pure heart, a lovely singing voice and an uncanny ability to communicate with
animals-all the good things one would expect in her world of Andalasia. which just
happens to be animated. Giselle's wish to meet the handsome prince of her dreams
and share "true love's kiss" comes true when Prince Edward (JAMES MARSDEN) hears
her lilting soprano raised in song and rushes to her side.
The very next day, on her way to wed Edward, Giselle falls under the spell
(literally) of Queen Narissa (Sarandon), who will stop at nothing to keep this girl
away from her throne. Giselle is banished to a place as far away from this
fairytale kingdom as you can get. no longer an animated character in a colorful,
musical land, she is transformed into a very real woman and transported to a very
unmagical place: modern day Manhattan.
Coming to her aid in this strange new place, the almost-princess is befriended by a
no-nonsense divorce lawyer, Robert (Dempsey), and his young daughter, Morgan
(RACHEL COVEY). When Giselle's no-longer-animated Prince Edward, along with his
servant, Nathaniel (TIMOTHY SPALL), and Giselle's best-friend and chipmunk, Pip all
arrive in New York, she experiences her two worlds colliding and finds herself
wondering whether her storybook view of romance, complete with "happily every
after," can survive in our world.
The film's wide-ranging cast of fantastical and contemporary characters is brought
to life by an accomplished corps of actors that includes: Academy Award® nominee
AMY ADAMS ("Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Charlie Wilson's War,"
"Junebug"), PATRICK DEMPSEY (television's "Grey's Anatomy," "Sweet Home Alabama"),
JAMES MARSDEN ("Hairspray," "Superman Returns"), TIMOTHY SPALL ("Harry Potter and
the Goblet of Fire," "The Last Hangman"), IDINA MENZEL ("Rent," "Ask the Dust") and
Academy Award® winner SUSAN SARANDON ("Mr. Woodcock," "Shall We Dance").
Bringing to life the film's mix of Manhattan grit and fairytale glimmer is a
creative team that includes: director of photography DON BURGESS ("Eight Below,"
"The Polar Express"); production designer STUART WURTZEL ("Charlotte's Web,"
"Little Manhattan"); editors STEPHEN A. ROTTER ("Yours, Mine and Ours," "The Parent
Trap") and GREGORY PERLER ("Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit,"
"Tarzan"); costume designer MONA MAY ("Haunted Mansion," "Miles from Home"); and
music supervisor DAWN SOLÉR ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," "The Princess
Diaries 2: Royal Engagement"). ENCHANTED features music from the reunited team of
acclaimed and multiple Oscar®-winning composer and lyricist ALAN MENKEN and STEPHEN
SCHWARTZ ("Pocahontas," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame").
