You will love the fairy tale characters

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2007)

(My Synopsis) Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the fairytale kingdom of Andalasia and is dreaming of her prince charming, so she can share her "true love's kiss" with him. Prince Edward (James Marsden) hears Giselle singing in the forest and knows that she is his one true love and rides to her to take her hand in marriage. They will wed the next day, but Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) has other plans. Queen Narissa doesn't want Giselle near her throne; she banishes Giselle to the real world where she becomes a real woman in modern-day New York City. Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey), a divorce attorney, comes to Giselle's aid. Giselle makes friends with Robert and his six-year old daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey). Giselle begins to fall in love with the charming, but imperfect Robert, but she is promised to Prince Edward who is far, far away. Prince Edward, along with Giselle's chipmunk, Pip, arrives in New York City to find Giselle. His servant, Nathaniel (Timothy Spall), is the next to go through the portal to help the prince find Giselle. They are about to experience something new and completely different than their storybook world they left behind.
(My Comment) This is one of those cute fairytale family movies to which you can take the whole family. It is a lot of fun to watch, and you will fall in love with the characters. The movie is part animation and part live-action. You don't really notice the change, because it feels like it is natural. You will love the scene stealing chipmunk, Pip. Amy Adams does a great job of being the beautiful and innocent princess who is like a fish out of water in New York City. You will be completely absorbed in the movie, because Disney knows how to make fairy tale movies. Disney incorporated small details from old fairy tales, such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty into the movie's plot. This is one feel good movie that has, of course, a happy ending.
