A nice movie with a cheerful story.

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2016)

This film of animation and fantasy is based on the accidental journey of a princess to our world. Amy Adams is the actress who gives life to the princess Giselle, young and innocent, happy and hopelessly romantic. James Marsden made a good performance as Prince Edward, but who really makes some chemistry with Adams is her romantic pair, the skeptical and pragmatic Robert, played by Patrick Dempsey. Susan Sarandon is the villain, Narissa. In the supporting cast, Idina Menzel has been relatively well, Timothy Spall shone with his accent and theatrical manners, and a small squirrel, Pip, deserves congratulations.
The script is very original, blending our world with the fantasy world we are used to circumscribe to animated films and fairy tales. The pace is fast, things are happening rather quickly. The characters are forced to get accustomed to our world, much less charming and innocent than theirs, and we were delighted to see the countless hilarious moments that result from this adaptation. The animated scenes were very well done and easily brought to our memory the traditional animated films that we saw in childhood. But even some scenes in the rest of the film have made discrete reproductions of some famous scenes of these films, resulting in a very moving homage to this genre. The ending of the film is beautiful but very predictable, there is no surprise in the way it ends, and that is a little disappointing. The film also has several interesting songs, filmed in an original way an normally singed by Giselle.
This is a movie designed for families, which will easily please everyone. It's not a fully animated movie, it has minor flaws but it's nice.
