ENCHANTED DVD Review

ROG’S VIEWPOINT - 4 CAMS
RATED PG
Cartoon fairytale Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) is pushed down a well by evil Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) and ends up as a human in New York City. Prince Edward (James Marsden) and a chipmunk named Pip jump to the rescue while Giselle falls under the spell of single dad Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey) and his daughter Morgan( Rachel Covey). The Queen is not far behind. “Enchanted” is one of the most original and inventive movies to come out of the Disney Studio in years. Thoroughly delightful and entertaining, this is exactly the type of movie Walt Disney would make if he were alive today. Director Kevin Lima (“Tarzan”), along with cast and crew, should be applauded. Practically all of the Disney animated classics are gently skewered with comic reverence. The trash talking Pip is a howl. It is refreshing to see old-style animation for a change. Memorable new songs and music by Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz complete the perfect picture. Amy Adams is at the top of my list for Best Actress. Creating a real-life cartoon character is difficult at best (remember Robin Williams as Popeye?). Amy makes it look easy. James Marsden is equally amazing. He could be on the short list for Best Supporting Actor. Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew in “Harry Potter”) adds a touch of hilarity as the Queen’s pudgy attendant Nathaniel. This is a family event at its finest - even with a scary dragon. “Enchanted” is captivating and enchanting!
DVD Extras: Featurettes, bloopers, deleted scenes and a brand new cartoon short "Pip's Predicament: A Pop-Up Adventure".
