Animated fairy tale
creatues get thrown into a modern day non-danimated existence and have
to deal with not only a devilish step-mother from their world, but the
hectic world around them.
I sometimes wonder why the
writers or studio executives pick the title of a movie. Sometimes it describes the feel of the movie, provides
a glimpse into the plot of the movie, or sometimes the title is just
meantto be
cute. When I think of something being enchanted, I think of a
magical spell placed over an item that enchants it to do make it do (or
not do) something out of the ordinary. For instance, an enchanted
ring might make the wearer invisible, an enchanted rug might allow its
owners to fly, or an enchanted person might be made to fall in love with
an unlikely enchantress. These are all possibilities in this
movie, and although music plays a direct part in its plot, enchanted
items or people is not really present. The enchantment that is occuring in this movie is by the filmmaker to the audience, trying to
enchant us with its old world tale of princesses, love and fairy tales
cast in a new light. For much of the file, the spell has the
desired effect and enchants us to enjoying the cinematic fairy tale
world that has been weaved.
We are first introduced to
the main fairy tale characters at the begining of the movie, all in
their animationatic best -- or at least the stereotypical fairy tale
Disneyesk type fairy tale characters, the prince, the princess, the evil
step-mother, and so forth. Of course through the dastardly plan of
the evil step-mother, the plot is thrust forward, or should I say that
the cartoon princess is pushed from her fairy tale world into the world
of modern three dimentional, non colorized, New York City. The
strange thing is that if you have ever been to New York, the characters
in their royal formalities (puffy princess dress, swords, etc.) are not
as out of sync with their surroundings as the writers may have hoped.
Besides being an adventure, the movie is also a romantic comedy,
between a boy (prince), girl (princess) and boy (an unsuspecting New
Yorker). The movie goes between the love triange (quickly, the
prince wants to marry the princess, the princess meets the New Yorker
and they do not realize that they love each other) and the adventure
(step-mother tries to kill prinncess).
The writing is very nicely
done to provide an entertaining story for the younger watchers, with
many inuendos and old-school symbolism for the older viewers. In
few words, I would say that it was a really cute movie. In more
words, just read this whole review (LOL). It was, to my surprise,
a fairly good movie and although it did get a bit corny at times, it did
keep me entertained. Having seen proably every animated Disney
story as a child and again as an adult through my children's eyes, I
could appreciate some of the corniness of the movie and its satirical
comparisons of those movies. Some of these include the singing princess
& prince, mice and birds doing household chores, talking animals, and a
whole lot of other nonsense that brings the fantasy world to life.
