In the new production, the family moves into a new house in suburban Monroeville, where the community is overseen by Malvina Monroe (Maya Rudolph), who has nefarious intentions for the family.

The spell backfires, and now Giselle must race to save her family and her homeland before the clock strikes midnight.
The new film arrives 15 years after its precursor, “Encantada” (2007), which won the hearts of many people with its story, cast and remarkable soundtrack. The long is available on Disney + and, to anticipate the release of the long-awaited sequel, we separate the main information about it to refresh your memory.
original plot
In “Enchanted”, Giselle lives in the kingdom of Andalasia, but has been banished by an evil queen from her animated, magical and musical world. With that, she will end up in real life in present-day Manhattan, a place completely different from where she used to live. There, she is about to undergo a tremendous awakening of fairytale magnitude, as she believes that love comes in the form of a prince charming riding a white horse, and the only thing bigger than her wedding dress is her heart.
behind the success
The production was shown for the first time at the London Film Festival on October 20, 2007. The feature, which mixes live-action and animation, was written by Bill Kelly and directed by Kevin Lima🇧🇷 The remarkable soundtrack was created by the composer Alan Menkenand the lyricist Stephen Schwartz🇧🇷
In addition, the film’s cast also featured heavy names, including some who are back in “Disenchanted”, such as Amy Adams🇧🇷 Patrick Dempsey🇧🇷 James Marsden🇧🇷 Timothy Spall🇧🇷 Idina Menzel and Susan Saradon🇧🇷 The English narration of the story was provided by the voice of Julie Andrews🇧🇷
All this combination of talents for the production of an original story film — which was at the same time, a tribute and a parody to classic Disney fairy tales — brought good results. The film received two nominations at the 65th Golden Globe Awards and three Oscar nominations for the songs “Happy Working Song”, “So Close” and “That’s How You Know”.
From Andalasia to Greater New York
“Encantada” was able to mark an era for also bringing in its plot the impact between two completely different worlds, when the then animated Giselle, who lived peacefully in the enchanted kingdom of Andalasia alongside talking animals and dreaming of a life alongside her beloved Prince Edward (James Marsden), is thrown into a well by Edward’s evil and greedy stepmother, Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon🇧🇷
This fall takes not only Giselle — who now assumes her live-action version played by the actress Amy Adams — like the entire audience to New York City, a world completely different from the one presented at the beginning of the film, showing the then naive princess that “happily ever after” may not be as easy as she thought.
Encountering the Unknown
After arriving completely disoriented and scared on the bustling island of Manhattan, Giselle meets lawyer Robert Philip (Patrick Phillips), Nancy’s fiance (Idina Menzel🇧🇷 From the beginning, the relationship between the two was not easy, because for Robert, Giselle was just one of the many crazy people who live in New York City. However, at the insistence of his daughter Morgan (Rachel Covey), he lets the lost princess stay in his apartment and begins, between one conflict and another, to understand a little more about her.
After spending more and more time with Robert, Giselle begins to realize the complexities of the real world and the birth of a feeling for the lawyer. In addition, the then “naive” princess begins to realize that she is no longer so naive after all her learnings in this new world.
In parallel, Prince Edward leaves Andalasia towards Manhattan in search of his beloved and ends up being followed by Nathaniel (Timothy Spall), Queen Narissa’s henchman, bringing more confused characters from the magical realm to bustling New York City.
