*spoilers ahead*

Enchanted pulled stereotypical Disney Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) out of her animated storybook universe and into real-world New York City, where she meets disillusioned divorce lawyer Robert (Dempsey) and his daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey). Meanwhile, Giselle’s betrothed Prince Edward (James Marsden) follows her into the real-world to rescue her, with the Evil Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) and her conniving henchman Nathaniel (Timothy Spall) in hot pursuit to make sure Giselle never returns. 

The movie deconstructed Disney’s animated flicks very well and the fantastic performances of Amy Adams and James Marsden were extremely appreciated. The sequel to the original, titled Disenchanted was announced in December and Amy Adams was slated to reprise the role of Giselle. The movie is slated for a Disney+ premiere but the date hasn’t been announced. Going by where things stand today, we can assume that the sequel won’t be out before 2022. Disenchanted will premiere exclusively on Disney+ at an unknown date, although with filming tentatively scheduled for this spring, it’s safe to assume that we won’t see the sequel until early 2022. The release date hasn’t been confirmed, but we do know that key members of the original cast are returning.

What made people love Enchanted? 

The original live-action fairy tale followed Amy Adams as Giselle, a cartoon princess who wants nothing more than to marry her prince (James Marsden) and live happily ever after. But she gets sent to real-world New York by a wicked queen (Susan Sarandon), where she falls for a cynical, single-dad divorce attorney (Patrick Dempsey). Featuring cameos from the voices of Disney princesses past, the hybrid live-action-animated Enchanted marked a turning point for Disney.
