Sweet, soft and lazy

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2008)

A girl, pining for true loves kiss. A prince, pining for true loves kiss. An evil queen and her oblivious henchman. Yes, it's fairy tale time. Classical Disney style even. Lots of colors, lots of singing, lots of animation. Until... The evil queen plays her evil plot. She sends everyone to the real world, where life isn't as pleasurable as in a fairy tale at all.
Enchanted combines animation and live acting by putting them together side by side. The parts slide into each other well enough, but never actually combine. Not bad, not bad at all. The animated parts are good, the live acting is better. The story is pretty much standard, but the way it gets worked into the film is just really good.
The film runs the middle between satire, making a mockery of fairy tales and the way things happen in them, and actually being a fairytale itself. It does this very well. It has an amazing amount of good laughs and a good way of exploiting all the positive aspects of a feel good movie. In fact, the only thing I have against it is that it is -very- predictable.
