A beautiful fairy tale

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2008)

This innovative and original idea manages to interweave the Classic Walt Disney fairy tale themes with the reality of contemporary New York. The establishment themes of the film present us with a Princess Giselle who in reality is (played by Amy Adams who was the secretary in "Charlie Wilson's War"). The Evil Queen Narissa is played by Susan Saradon in the reality scenes and James Marsden plays the Charming Prince Edward.
In an almost surrealist theme and scene Queen Narrisa pushes the Princess through a sort of a "worm hole" in order to banish her to the flip-side of the animated world which is Contemporary New York. Soon most of the animated characters find themselves in the real world in their real life flip-side state of being.
Whilst many of grew up wishing we were part of the fantasy worlds these guys must feel pretty tripped out at finding themselves in the real world.
Princess Giselle is adopted by a single Father and his young daughter who become absolutely enchanted by her. In fact you almost feel drawn to to the Princess by her overwhelming innocence and beautiful charms.
I absolutely love the Walt Disney Classics and this is now one of them. A beautiful and enchanting story for all of all ages.
Where are my mouseketeer ears?
If you have children take them to this one its a really good and funny feel-good film.
