An excellent Disney parody of Disney, and heartwarming, too!

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2007)

As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie, I was excited: a Disney movie where they parodied Disney fairy tales? Genius! I saw the movie today, and it did not disappoint. From the traditional animation-style beginning to the live action (the majority of the movie), the story was excellent. Without spoiling any plot details, I will say that both Amy Adams and James Marsden have excellent singing voices, and play their fairy tale characters in the real world with the perfect mixture of magic and ridiculousness. Patrick Dempsey is also surprisingly good as the man Giselle (Amy Adams) meets and whose life she turns upside down.
If you're a fan of the old Disney princess movies, and also can appreciate laughing at them (in a way that is also a loving tribute to them), this movie is for you.
