Good Disney film

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2008)

I waited until I saw the film on pay cable before I bought it. I wanted to make sure I liked it before I purchased it.
It is a good Disney film. Putting the live action flip into a tried & true fairy tale Disney formula with the young woman to be rescued from the prince & living happily ever after.
I was glad Susan got the part of the Queen. She did a good job. BUT, HER ROLE WAS TOO SMALL. We done see her until the end of the film & before that just her voice in a few scenes. I would have loved to have seen her take off with the role.
Let?s see. Dempsey got the role because of his hit ABC show. I found his role & performance boring. Went no where.
The film SHOULD have won Oscars for the music. Shame it did not with Oscar winner Alan Menken at work again. Sure beats that "you've heard it once you've ever one of Randy Newman?s music for the Disney/Pixar films".
Amy Adams did an OK job as Giselle. Just, her performance was just missing 1 little spark in my opinion.
Beautiful to look at. The animation parts are normal Disney the best you can get.
Kids will like it, if you are an adult & a Disney fan you will too.
