Enchanted

Rated PG

Starring: Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, Susan Sarandon, James Mardsen, Idina Menzel, Timothy Spall

In Disney's latest family film, we start out watching animated Giselle and her forest friends create a Prince Charming, as Giselle sings about the qualities she'd like in the man and how she'd like to have her 1 true kiss. By chance, she meets Prince Edward. The 2 immediately fall in love and plan to be wed the next day. Jealous of her beauty, Queen Narcissa (Prince Edward's step-mother) sees Giselle as a threat and tricks her into falling down a magical well to a place where there is "no happy endings" - that place, is Manhattan and New York City. Scared, wet and cold, Giselle tries to find her way back to the castle and her home Andalasia. In her search she comes across Robert and his young daughter (who is the only one to believe she really is a princess). Together Giselle teaches Robert about love, while he teaches her about reality.

Disney pokes fun of all the cliches it's built over the years with fairytales, which made this movie pretty funny, not to mention cute. The musical number in the park was hilarious, as was Giselle's chipmunk friend Pip, who can speak in the animated world, but has to resort to charades in order to communicate in the real world.

If you're looking for a good family film for the holidays - definately check out this one!
