Okay, I am not the only one that thinks this is a gem among Disney films

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2008)

For me to award an 8 is very rare. This film I just got finished watching poked fun at the Disney genre and I laughed out loud at least a dozen times. It is not fair to compare this film to those of the Shrek series which I also hold in high esteem. Both offer a tongue in cheek lampoon of the 'fairy tale', but this one was totally unexpected.
It is refreshing to see Disney lampoon themselves. I also think it is pretty clear that this film took a poke at Shrek too. I think it will take several viewings to get all of the jokes and homages. "Enchanted" appears to be a relatively low budget film yet the special effects & CG that were there were very convincing and downright funny as all get out.
Best go in without reading the blurb on the back of the DVD box. I was very surprised by this new approach to the 'Happily Ever After' and was glad I knew nothing going in. I expected to just walk away but was glued to the screen and very pleased. 'nuf said.
