Disenchanted is a 2022 American live-action animated musical fantasy comedy film directed by Adam Shankman and written by Brigitte Hales, based on a story conceived by Richard LaGravenese and the writing team of J.

Contents

Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, and Idina Menzel reprise their roles from the first film, [2] with newcomer Gabriella Baldacchino taking over for Rachel Covey (who makes a cameo as a different character). New cast members include Maya Rudolph, Yvette Nicole Brown, Jayma Mays, Kolton Stewart, Oscar Nunez, and Griffin Newman. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz return as the film's songwriters, while Menken also composed the score. Adams also served as a producer of the film alongside Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld.

Talks of an Enchanted sequel began in early 2010, but the project languished in development hell for several years. By 2017, it was announced Adams had signed on to reprise her role and filming was set to begin that summer, but it never came to fruition. The film was officially announced in December 2020, with the cast joining in spring 2021 and filming taking place in Ireland between May and July that year.

Disenchanted premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 16, 2022, and was released in the United States via Disney+ on November 18. Unlike its predecessor, the film received generally mixed reviews from critics, who mostly praised Adams's performance but felt it lacked the charm of the original.

Plot

10 years after the first film, Giselle, Robert, and Morgan Philip are living happily together [a] with their baby Sofia. However, life in Manhattan is starting to drag on them, so Giselle plans to move the family to the suburban town of Monroeville. The moving brings poor first experiences for them: their new house needs renovations, Robert has to commute to continue his job, and Morgan feels like an outcast at her new school.

King Edward and Queen Nancy visit from Andalasia via a well from the house's backyard. As Sofia's godparents, they present her with a wish-granting wand. Giselle meets Malvina Monroe, the arrogant head of the town council, and learns that she is hosting a fairy tale-themed ball where Malvina's son Tyson is the ball's elected prince. To help Morgan fit in, Giselle tries to get her elected as the ball's princess but ends up unintentionally embarrassing her, resulting in a falling out between them.

After consulting with her chipmunk friend Pip, Giselle decides to use the wand to wish her family's life to be a "perfect fairy tale". By the next day, the town has transformed into a fantasy kingdom called Monrolasia. Morgan is happy with their new life, and Robert believes himself to be a brave adventurer. Malvina is now the town's evil queen with magical powers. Giselle also discovers uncharacteristically haughty behavior and finds pleasure in mistreating Morgan. Realizing she is slowly turning into a wicked stepmother, she asks for help from the magic wand's instruction scroll. The scroll reveals Giselle's wish is using up Andalasia's magic to change the real world into a fairy tale and that it will become permanent after midnight.

Malvina learns about the magic wand and enlists her two servants Rosaleen and Ruby to steal it. However, the scroll tells her that the wand can only be used by a "true Andalasian". Giselle realizes that without the wand, she will lose herself to her wicked side, so she convinces Morgan to save them before sending her to Andalasia through the well in the backyard.

There, Morgan learns that the kingdom's magic is transported to Monrolasia through a vortex and once the spell becomes permanent, Andalasia will be gone forever. Nancy and Edward suggest she use the magic of their memories to remind Giselle of her true self. After heading back to the real world with Nancy, the magic imbues itself onto Morgan's childhood drawing of their family tree with pictures of their shared memories and they both set off to find Giselle.

Now under the influence of her evil personality, Giselle challenges Malvina for the royal title of Monrolasia. She sends Pip, who has been turned into a tabby cat, to steal back the wand while also sending Robert on an assumed futile search for Morgan. At the ball, Giselle and Malvina engage in a magic duel with the former easily overpowering the latter due to possessing the wand. Morgan and Nancy meet up with Robert and Tyson before rushing into the town hall to stop the duel. Morgan tosses her drawing to Giselle who rips it, but the magic within brings the memories to life, restoring Giselle to normal.

Not wanting the spell to be broken, Malvina takes Morgan hostage and demands the wand in exchange which Giselle surrenders. As midnight approaches, everything from Andalasia begins to disappear including Giselle herself. While Robert and Tyson head to the top of the clock tower to delay the final chime, Giselle tells Morgan that by being her daughter, she is a true Andalasian, therefore capable of using the wand. Morgan wishes she were home with her mother just as Malvina attempts to make the clock tower chime before it is destroyed.

Morgan awakens in their house and finds everything normal again; the spell has been successfully undone. Only she and Giselle are aware of the events, while everyone else believes it to be a dream. Giselle apologizes to Malvina for stepping over her plans and Malvina allows her to join the town council. Some time later, Robert has started his own practice to Monroeville, Morgan and Tyson have started dating, and Nancy and Edward arrive for another visit to the Philips in their now happy life.

Production

Development

In February 2010, Variety reported that Walt Disney Pictures planned to film a sequel to Enchanted (2007) with Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld producing again. Jessie Nelson was attached to write the screenplay and Anne Fletcher to direct. Disney hoped the cast members from the first film would return and for a release as early as 2011. [22]

On January 12, 2011, composer Alan Menken was asked about the sequel in an interview, to which he replied: [23]

"I've heard things but there's nothing yet. I don't know much about what's happening with that. Honestly, I don't know what the studio wants to do next. I presume there will be some future projects for me to work on. I love doing that, I really do. But I'm not frustrated that it isn't one of them. At the moment I have a lot of stage things happening and I'm busy enough with that, so I really don't need more on my plate."

Later that year, on March 28, 2011, James Marsden, who played Prince Edward in Enchanted, was asked about the sequel. [24]

"I don't know. I think that the clock is ticking on that one. Amy Adams and I are both saying, 'If there's going to be a sequel, we're not getting any younger.' Since we play sort of ageless animated characters. Hopefully we do. That was something really special and I'd love to come back and do another. I've heard the same things you've heard. There's a script out there somewhere and there's talk of it, but I never believe it until I see the script and learn we're making that film. So I don't know. Too many eggs in that basket."

By July 2014, Disney had hired screenwriters J. David Stem and David N. Weiss to write a script for a sequel and also hired Fletcher to direct the film. [25] In October 2016, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Adam Shankman, who is a good friend of Fletcher, entered negotiations to direct the sequel, titled Disenchanted; that Amy Adams would reprise her role; and that filming was scheduled to begin in summer 2017. [26] [27] In January 2018, Shankman stated that the sequel's script would be finished within a couple of weeks and the next step would be to get the music written. [28] He also went on to say that the film would feature more songs than the original but the same amount of animation. [28]

On May 21, 2019, Menken said that the film had not been green-lit by Disney by that point, as the writers were still "trying to get the script right." [29] On February 28, 2020, Schwartz said that meetings about the film had taken place in London, and revealed that Shankman will also serve as the writer for the film. [30]

In December 2020, at Disney Investor Day, Disney Studios' President of Production Sean Bailey officially announced the sequel. [31] Reportedly, it was the work of Brigitte Hales—the most recent writer on the project—that got the sequel greenlit after 13 years. [31]

In January 2021, Patrick Dempsey told Good Morning America that there are plans to begin production in the spring of that year. [32] [33]

In April 2021, Maya Rudolph, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Jayma Mays joined the cast as new characters. [36] Rudolph plays the central antagonist in the sequel, while Brown and Mays are portraying villains, as well. [37]

On May 17, 2021, Disney announced via Twitter that Gabriella Baldacchino would be starring as Morgan Philip, joined by new cast members Kolton Stewart and Oscar Nunez. Baldacchino replaced Rachel Covey, who played Morgan in the first film. [9]

[38] The film would be partly filmed in Enniskerry, where a set was being constructed as of May 1, 2021, while other expected locations included Wicklow and Dublin. [39] On May 6, 2021, Adams confirmed on Instagram that she had arrived in Ireland to begin filming. [40] Filming officially began on May 17, 2021. [41] [42] On July 8, 2021, James Marsden and Idina Menzel arrived in Dublin to shoot their roles as Prince Edward and Nancy Tremaine, respectively. [43] Filming in Ireland concluded on July 22, 2021. [44]

By March 28, 2022, reshoots were underway in Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, England due to mixed reception at a test screening. Reshoots also took place in New York City, having concluded in April. [45] [46]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 38% of 101 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.4/10.The website's consensus reads: "Although Amy Adams remains just as engaging as ever, Disenchanted lacks the magic that made its predecessor a modern fairytale classic." [70] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 50 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [71]

Amy Nicholson of The New York Times , gave the film a negative review, writing: "In execution, “Disenchanted” feels more like a photo hunt where you earn points for spotting the onscreen Disney references." [72] Owen Gleiberman of Variety , also gave the film a negative review, writing: "Giselle turns into a wicked stepmother, which only makes us miss the comedy of her niceness." [73] John Nugent of Empire Magazine , gave the film three stars out of four, writing: "If you liked Enchanted, this is a dependably familiar serving. In an era where Disney is constantly raiding its archives for intellectual property to remake, this is a sequel that feels unusually original by comparison." [74]

Benjamin Lee of The Guardian , also gave the film three stars out of four, writing: "A follow-up to 2007’s charming fish-out-of-water musical fantasy can’t quite recapture the magic." [75] Marya E. Gates of RogerEbert.com , gave the film two stars out of four, writing: "'Disenchanted fails to truly rekindle the magic or the biting wit of its predecessor. Like most things stamped Disney these days, the film feels just like the mass-produced bobbles for sale at the Disney store." [76] Lovia Gyarke of The Hollywood Reporter , gave the film a negative review, writing: "When Disenchanted isn’t trying to create a portrait of suburbia or examining its protagonist, it becomes a predictably plotted and humdrum battle to restore order." [77] Jessie Thompson of The Independent , also gave the film two stars out of four, writing: "The follow-up to 2007 sleeper hit ‘Enchanted’, starring Amy Adams, abandons everything that made the first film work so well." [78] Erik Kain of Forbes , also gave the film a negative review, writing: "Disenchanted is a little bit less than Enchanted in just about every way imaginable." [79]
