Disney Magic!

"Right up our cheesy alley," is what my mom said as the credits were rolling for "Enchanted." The very beginning of the film is all animated, when suddenly the main character "Giselle" was thrust into the real world. The animated portion of the film seemed a lot like Disney was poking fun at itself; it felt very much like a parody of all of the classic Disney fairytale princess films. It seems to me like Disney is very much trying to break out of the demure princess stories. The newer Disney films always feature empowered female characters. In "Cinderella III: A Twist in Time" Cinderella is nothing like the original character, she ends up being more of a heroine than a damsel in distress - Enchanted is certainly no different. Giselle starts off being like a mix of Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. By the end of the movie she's throwing swords and saving her prince from the wicked step mother.

If you pay close attention to the movie, you'll often hear a Disney song thrown in there some where in the background. There's a part where you can clearly hear "Part of your world" from "The Little Mermaid."

Overall I'd have to say my mother was right...This movie was right up my cheesy alley. I enjoy Disney movies and Cheesy happily-ever-after stories. If you enjoy those things, chances are you'll love "Enchanted" as much as I did.
