Narissa sends Nathaniel to follow and block Edward. At a restaurant, Narissa shows up to Nathaniel in a soup pot and gives him three poisoned apples to kill Giselle. Pip eavesdrops but can not communicate with Edward, because animals can not talk outside of Andalasia. Nathaniel keeps the Pip silenced by holding it in various containers.

Production
Development
The first draft of Enchanted , written by Bill Kelly, was purchased by Disney's Touchstone Pictures and Sonnenfeld/Josephson Productions for a reported amount of $ 450,000 in September 1997. The script was written for three years, but it was considered inappropriate for Walt Disney Pictures because it is a "racially-rated movie", inspired by the risque-risque comedy films of the 1980s and 1990s such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High
On May 25, 2005, Variety reported that Kevin Lima had been hired as a director and Bill Kelly had returned to the project to write a new version of his script. Five worked with Kelly on a script to incorporate the Enchanted main plot with the idea of ​​a "loving respect" of the Disney heritage. He made a visual storyboard print that covered the story of Enchanted from beginning to end, which filled the entire floor of the production building. After Lima showed them to Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, he received a green light for the project and a budget of $ 85 million. Five began designing the Andalacia world and movie storyboards before players were selected to play the characters. After the actors were hired, he was involved in making the final design of the film, which ensured the animated characters look like their real-world counterparts.
Filming
Enchanted is the first live-action/traditional long animated hybrid since Disney's Framed Roger Rabbit in 1988, although traditional animated characters do not interact in live-environment actions in the same method as they did in Roger Rabbit ; However, there are some scenes where live-action characters share the screen with two-dimensional animated characters, for example, a direct action Nathaniel communicates with Narissa, who is in a cooking pot. The film uses two aspect ratios; it starts at 2.35: 1 when the Walt Disney Pictures and Enchanted logobook logo is displayed, and then switches to a smaller 1.85: 1 aspect ratio for the first animation sequence. The movie switches back to 2.35: 1 when it becomes live-action and never switches back, even for the rest of the cartoon sequence. When the film is aired on the television network, the beginning of the movie (minus the logo and opening credit) is displayed in a 4: 3 aspect ratio of the pillars; the remainder of the film is shown in the 16: 9 aspect ratio when it becomes a direct action. Five oversees the good direction of live action and animation sequences, which are being produced at the same time. Enchanted it took almost two years to complete. The animation took about a year to complete while the live action scene, which began filming at a location in New York City during the summer of 2006 and finished during the animation process, was shot within 72 days.
Animation
Of the 107 minutes of film running time, ten of the approximately 13 minutes of animation are at the beginning of the movie. Five tries to "cram every piece of Disney iconic imagery" that he can into the first ten minutes, performed in traditional cel animations (in contrast to computer-generated 3-D animation) as a tribute to Disney's fairy tale movies of the past such as Sleeping Beauty , Cinderella , and Snow White and Seven Dwarfs . This is the first Disney film released in America to feature traditional cel animations since Pooh's Heffalump Movie (2005). This film, although very different in terms of plot of any previous Disney movie, also contains a clear tribute to other Disney films from distant past, such as Old Yeller , Shaggy Dog , Swiss Robinson Family , Farewell! , and Savage Sam . Since most of Disney's animated artists were fired after a computer graphics boom in the late 1990s, the 13-minute animation was not done in-house but by the independent Pasadena-based James Baxter Animation company, started by leading leading animators. James Baxter. Baxter previously worked for Walt Disney Animation Studios, animated many impressive Disney animated characters such as Jessica Rabbit ( Who Framed Roger Rabbit ), Belle ( Beauty and the Beast ), Rafiki ( The Lion King, and Quasimodo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame).
Although Five wants animation to be nostalgic, he wants Enchanted to have his own style. The Baxter team decided to use Art Nouveau as a starting point. For Giselle, the hand-drawn animated character must be "a cross between Amy Adams and the classic Disney princess, and not a caricature." Seeing Giselle as "a jungle girl, innocent nymph with flowers in her hair" and "little hippie", the animators want her to "flow, with her hair and clothes. For Prince Edward, the Baxter team "works the hardest to make it look like an actor" because the prince "in this kind of film is usually very bland." Many prototypes were made for Narissa because the Baxter team wanted her face to "look like Susan Sarandon, and the costumes had to be aligned with the live-action design."
To maintain continuity between the two media, Five brought Mona May costume designers during the early stages of film production so that the costumes will be aligned both in the animation and live-action worlds. He also took some live-action footage of Amy Adams as Giselle for the animators to use as a reference, which also enabled the physical movement of the characters to be matched in both worlds. The scene test completed by the animator is shown to the actors, allowing them to see how their animation will move.
Live-action
The subject of photography began in April 2006 and ended in July 2006. Due to the sequence arrangement, the live action scenes were filmed in New York City. However, the shooting in New York became problematic due to being in "the constant state of new stores, scaffolding and renovation".
The first scene in New York, featuring Giselle emerging from a manhole in the middle of Times Square, was filmed in a location in the center of the square. Due to the difficulty in controlling the crowd while filming in Times Square, common walkers are featured in scenes with rented extras placed in the immediate foreground. Similarly, the crowd gathered to watch James Marsden and Timothy Spall film their scene in Times Square. However, the scene that Lima found most challenging to take was the music number, "That's How You Know", in Central Park. The five minute scene takes 17 days to complete due to weather changes, allowing only seven sunny days for the scenes to be filmed. The filming is also sometimes blocked by fans of Patrick Dempsey. The scene was choreographed by John O'Connell, who has worked on Moulin Rouge! before, and includes 300 extras and 150 dancers.
Many scenes were filmed in Steiner Studios, which provided the three major stages that Enchanted needed at the same facility. Other outdoor locations include the Brooklyn Bridge and The Paterno, an ivory decorated, ivory decorated, ivory decorated building situated on the corner of Riverside Drive and 116th Street, which houses the characters of the film Robert and Morgan.
Costume design
All the costumes in the film were designed by Mona May, who previously worked on Clueless, The Wedding Singer, and The Haunted Mansion. To make the costumes, May spent a year in pre-production working with her animator and costume department totaling 20 people, while she contracted five outfit outfit stores in Los Angeles and New York City. He became involved in the project during a time when the animators designed the characters' faces and bodies because they had to "translate costumes from two-dimensional images to live-action human proportions". The goal is to keep the design "Disneyesque to the core but bring a little fashion there and humor and make it something new". However, May acknowledges this is difficult "because they are dealing with Disney iconic figures who have been in the soul of a viewing audience for so long".
For the character of Giselle, her journey to become a true woman is reflected in her dress, which becomes less like a fairy tale when the movie takes place. Her wedding dress at the beginning of the film instantly contrasts with her modern dress at the end of the movie. The wedding dress is presented to give "enormous contrast with flat images" and to highlight the image of Disney Princess. To make the waist look small, the arm is designed to be "very pouffy" and the skirt becomes as large as possible, which includes a metal circle that holds 20 layers of skirt and ruffles. Overall, eleven versions of the dress are made for the making of the film, each made of 200 meters (183 m) of silk satin and other fabrics, and weighing about 40 pounds (18 kg). In the experience of wearing a wedding dress, Amy Adams describes it as "tiring" because "all the weight is on her hips, so sometimes it feels like being in the traction".
Unlike Giselle, Prince Edward does not adapt to the real world and James Marsden, who plays Edward, has only one costume designed for him. May's goal is to try "not to lose Marsden in the madness of clothes... where he still looks handsome". The costume also included padding on the chest, buttocks and crotch, which gave Marsden "the same excessive proportions as the animated character" and "the posture - his back straight, his arms up and never crashing".
May is pleased that Five "goes for something more advanced-mode" with Susan Sarandon's Queen Narissa. She decided to make her look like a "runway woman", wearing something "still Disney" but also "high fashion, like something that might have been designed by John Galliano or Thierry Mugler". Because Narissa appears in three media: hand-drawn animation, live action, and computer animation, May has to make sure that his costume will be the same throughout "color, shape, and texture". The costume for Narissa consists of a corset and a leather skirt, which looks "reptile", as well as a robe. Working with animators, May incorporates dragon-shape pieces into costumes; The cloak was designed to look like a wing, the skirt layers wrapped like a tail and a crown that would turn into a horn during the transformation of Narissa into a dragon.
Music
The film's score was written by songwriter and composer master, Alan Menken, who has worked on a number of previous Disney movies. Composer Stephen Schwartz wrote the lyrics for six songs, also composed by Menken. Menken and Schwartz previously worked together on songs for Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame .
Menken was involved with the film at an early stage of film development and invited Schwartz to continue their collaboration. They begin the process of writing songs by searching for the right moment in the story where the song's moments are allowed. Schwartz found that it was easier to justify the situation in which characters would explode into songs in Enchanted rather than in other musical dramas as the concept of "allowing characters to sing in a way that is completely integral to the plot. "The three songs that Giselle sings contain references to previous Disney movies. The first song played in the movie, "True Love's Kiss", was written to be "an introduction, and a tribute to, the style of Disney animation features", ie, "I Wish" ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs ) and "A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes" ( Cinderella ), where Disney heroes sing about loved ones. This poses a challenge for Menken and Schwartz because of "many prejudices with that number"; it must reflect the era of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella. Thus, Amy Adams performs the first song in a different operetta style with Broadway style from later songs.
Both "Happy Songs" and "So You Know" also pay tribute to past Disney songs. "Happy Working Song" gives lyrical awards for songs like "Whistle While You Work" ("Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"), "The Work Song" ( Cinderella ), "A Spoonful of Sugar" and "Making Christmas", and musical respects to Sherman Brothers (with a parody of "Alan Menken style" middle eight). "That's How You Know" is a self-parody of Menken's composition for its Disney features, especially the large production numbers such as "Under the Sea" and "Be Our Guest" ( Beauty and the Beast ). To achieve this, Schwartz acknowledged that he had to "push him a little further in terms of choice of certain words or lyrics" while maintaining "classic Walt Disney sensibility". However, Menken notes that the songs he has written for Disney are always "slightly tongue-in-cheek". As the film progresses, the music uses a more contemporary style, which is heard through the "So Close" adult ballads and the "Ever Ever After" pop/country (sung by Carrie Underwood as voice actor).
Of the six songs that were finished written and composed by Menken and Schwartz, five remain in the finished film. The title track, "Enchanted," a duet featuring Idina Menzel and James Marsden, is the only song of authorship and composition of Menken and Schwartz that was removed from the film.
Effects
Most of the visual effects shots in Enchanted were done by Tippett Studio in Berkeley, California, which donated a total of 320 shots. These photos involve virtual sets, environmental effects and CG characters performed with real actors, animated animals during the "Cheers" sequence, Pip and Narissa dragons during the live action part of the film. CIS Hollywood is responsible for 36 shots of visual effects, which are primarily concerned with wire and composite removal. Reel FX Creative Studio performs four visual effects shots involving transition transitions of pop-up pages while Weta Digital does two.
Of all the animals that appear in the sequence of "Happy Work Songs", the only real animals that were filmed on the set were mice and pigeons. The real animals captured in the film helped Tippett Studio create rats and CG doves, which gave dynamic performances like pigeons carrying brooms in their beaks and mice rubbed with toothbrushes. On the other hand, all cockroaches are CG characters.
Pip, a chipmunk who can speak in Andalasia's 2D world, loses his ability to communicate through speech in the real world so he has to rely heavily on body movement and face. This means the animators have to display Pip's emotions through performance and make it look like a real chippunk. The team at Tippett began the process of animating Pip by observing live chipmunks filmed in the movement of "every possible angle," after which they created photorealistic squirrels through the use of 3D computer graphics software Maya and Furrocious. When visual effects inspector Thomas Schelesny showed Pip's first animation to director Kevin Lima, he was surprised that he saw the CG character and not the reference footage. To enhance facial expressions, the modelers give Pip eyebrows, which are not owned by the original chipmunks. During filming scenes where Pip appears, a number of ways are used to indicate the physical existence of Pip. On several occasions, small chipmunk dolls with wires on the inside were placed on the scene. In other situations, a rod with a small marker on the tip or laser pointer will be used to indicate the actor and cinematographer where Pip is located.
Unlike Pip, the Narissa dragon is allowed to become more of a fantasy character while still looking like a living character and a classic Disney villain. The CG dragon design is loosely based on the traditional Chinese dragons and witches of Susan Sarandon's actions. When filming a scene that sees Narissa's transformation from a woman into a dragon, a long pole is used to direct extra eyelashes rather than laser pointers. The set of snippets is made to move back and forth in addition to having a computer-controlled lighting arrangement and recurring heads on cameras that are all synchronized. In the final sequence of the movie, where Narissa climbs the Woolworth Building while gripping Robert in his paw, a greenscreen rig is built to hold Patrick Dempsey to film his face and movements. The rig is a puppeteering approach involving a robotic arm controlled by three different effects floor artists.

It is distributed worldwide by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International to over 50 regions worldwide and topped the box office in several countries including the UK and Italy.

Merchandising
Disney originally planned to add Giselle to the Disney Princess line-up, as shown at the 2007 Toy Fair where the Giselle doll is featured with a package stating her with Disney Princess status, but decides not to do so when they realize they have to pay for the right of a lifetime living for the image of Amy Adams. While Giselle is not marketed as one of the Disney Princesses, Enchanted merchandise has been available in various outlets with Adams animated similarity used on all Giselle items. Giselle leads the Hollywood Hollywood Holly-Day 2007 at Disney's Hollywood Studios. She is also featured in the 2007 Walt Disney World Christmas Parade in the Magic Kingdom with the official Disney Princess.

The site's important consensus reads: "An ingenious re-imagination of a fairy tale which will certainly delight children and adults, Enchanted has a feature of intelligent dialogue, sharp animation, and star turn by Amy Adams. " Metacritic gave it a rating 75 out of 100 based on 32 reviews. Rotten Tomatoes ranked this film as the ninth best movie featured in the 2007 release and named it the best family film of 2007.
The positive reviews praised the filming of the classic Disney story, comedy and musical number as well as the performance of the main actress, Amy Adams. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave this film three stars out of four, describing it as "a heart-winning musical comedy that jumps lightly and swiftly from the hopeful lily to the closing hole of the actuality" and the one "has Disney's willingness to allow fantasy to come alive". Film critics of Variety
Rolling Stone , Premiere , USA Today , and The Boston Globe all gave three out of four movies, while > Baltimore Sun gave this movie a score of B. They quote that although the story is relatively predictable, the way in which the movie predictability is part of the story, the incredible amount of amazing music, along with the way Disney mocks the lines of its traditional film animation beyond any quarrels. about the story line or uncertain about the age at which movies are made. Michael Sragow of Baltimore Sun stated that "interesting ideas and good jokes to deal with uneven film making and tone", while Claudia Puig of USA Today stated that "Though it is a fairly predictable out-of-water fish story (actually a princess-out-of-the-storybook story), the casting is so perfect that it takes what could be a ho-hum idea and makes it magical."
Amy Adams himself garnered many good reviews. The reviewer praised his singing abilities and insisted that his performance, compared to some for his Academy Award nomination performance at Junebug, has made Adams a movie star, likening it to Mary Poppins ' has an effect on Julie Andrews career.

Bradshaw gave the film two of five.
Accolades
References Disney
According to director Kevin Lima, "thousands" of references were made to Disney's past and future work in Enchanted, which serves as a parody and "a giant love letter for classic Disney." It took nearly eight years for Walt Disney Studios to turn on film production because "it's always very nervous about its particular tone". When Five worked with Bill Kelly, the author, to inject a Disney reference to the plot, it became "an obsession"; he takes the name of every character as well as everything that takes the name of the previous Disney movie to bring more Disney references.
While Disney animators occasionally enter Disney characters into background images - for example, Donald Duck appears in the crowd at The Little Mermaid - they have avoided the "mixed characters" of other Disney movies for fear of their debilitating mythology individual. In Enchanted , characters from past Disney movies are publicly visible, such as the Thumper and Flower appearance of Bambi in the 2D animation section of the movie. References Disney is also made through the work of cameras, sets, costumes, music, and dialogue. Real examples include the use of poisonous apples from Snow White and Seven Dwarfs and True Love's Kiss from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, acknowledged that part of Enchanted's goal was to create a new franchise (through Giselle characters) and to revive older ones.
Sequel
In February 2010, Variety reported that Walt Disney Pictures plans to film a sequel with Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld producing again. Jessie Nelson is bound to write scenarios and Anne Fletcher to direct. Disney hopes the cast of the first film will return and for release as early as 2011.
On January 12, 2011, composer Alan Menken was asked about the sequel in an interview. The answer is, "I've heard a lot of things but nothing yet, I do not know much about what happened with that.Be honestly, I do not know what the studio wants to do next.I think there will be some future projects. I'm doing it, I'm really doing it.But I'm not frustrated that it's not one of them.Currently I have a lot of stage things going on and I'm pretty busy with it, so I really do not need any more on my plate. "
On March 28, 2011, in an interview for his upcoming movie, Hop, James Marsden was asked about the sequel.
I do not know. I think that clock keeps ticking for that one. Amy Adams and I both said, "If there will be a sequel, we will not get younger." Because we play some kind of youthful animation character. Hopefully we do it. It was something very special and I wanted to go back and do something else. I have heard the same things you hear. There was a script there and some talked about it, but I never believed it until I looked at the script and found out we were filming it. So I do not know. Too many eggs in the basket.
In July 2014, Disney has hired screenwriter J. David Stem and David N. Weiss to write scripts for the sequel and also hire Anne Fletcher to direct the film. In October 2016, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Adam Shankman entered the negotiations to direct his sequel, titled Disenchanted, and that Amy Adams would repeat his role with a shoot which was originally scheduled to begin in the summer of 2017. In January 2018, Shankman declared that the sequel script would be completed within a few weeks and the next step was to make music written. He also went on to say that the movie will feature more songs than the original but the same number of animations. Two months later, Shankman announced that Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz would re-write the song for the film.
