Watching this as a kid I remember thinking "wow how did they find actors who look JUST like the animated characters" without realizing the characters were designed after the actors
..wait ..the characters were designed before...what the...
I USED TO THINK THE SAME THING LMAO
same
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING LMAO 😭😭
So true 😭😭
Something that sounds strange, but that I love is that the main characters in this movie are full grown adults with jobs and a kid, not some teenager that's too young for whoever they're dating. It's so rare to see older people FALLING in love in movies like this
To quote their username “who knows atp”
YES
Mm just watch hallmark
Yes Disney Adults falling in love makes sense with nowadays, with everyone falling in love less
@@sanayatarver7353 oh please no 😫
Nancy is underrated. She is not the jaded one. She loved romance and remained hopeful despite Robert being kinda lackluster as a person and then she gets the romance she's always wanted at the end. Honestly, the dream.
I adore nacy, dude. I love how they broke the stereotypical bitchy ex trope too
Fr fr
She ends up not being a total jerk, unlike the usual girlfriend character.
@@bigclitenergy literally!!
AND there was a cut scene, I'm pretty sure, that showed just how much she loved the cheesy romance that she got in the end!
The actress for giselle is just so so good at her job. The random times when she slightly becomes less childish and the change in mood when she's with Edward. Like it's so amazing man
Yeah I know
Her name is Amy Adams
Amy Adams is just so good as Giselle
@@avengirl6479 agreeed
Wasn't she in a muppets movie
The fact that Giselle(who had never used a shower before) was able to figure out Robert's shower in record time when it takes me a solid 20 minutes to work any shower that isn't my own, is the most unbelievable part of the whole movie.
I think she had help from the animals lol
lmao no kidding
@@Sofia_aifos But how do the animal know how to work a shower?
@@Multi.Fandom. magic
@@Multi.Fandom. just how they knew how to clean the house, it’s just fiction at the end of the day
Enchanted was one of the most self aware movies of its time. It really celebrated Disney’s past while also showcasing its legacy to a new generation.
Something that all the new live action remakes tried to do and miserably failed.
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!*
😑
Exactly!
understandable, but counter-argument, a huge number of movies and tv shows were self-aware in the mid 2000s
This is major facts
@@MbitaChizi i love that video I like the music ^^
I’m here to ask WHO forgot Enchanted existed?? I remember being in college when that came out and realizing it was the pinnacle of comedy/parody/Disney/fairytales. Absolute masterpiece how dare anyone forget it. Where were you when Enchanted dropped?
Its just underrated
@@divinelangene6813 extremely - but hopefully this will awaken the Easter Egg Hunter before the sequel drops! Muahahahaha MUAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't even remember this movie coming out lol I was in high school still
Still in elementary school. Never saw it in theatres, but I had the DvD and always watched it.
I watched this with my sister and mom and I loved the movie I usually don’t like movies with the Snow White plot. It I really like how they mixed it in with like New York and it was the perfect movie for me
I think something that is scarily overlooked is that She refers to the short guy as “Grumpy” so she knows OR at least is aware of the Story of Snow White…
When in the end of the movie the queen hag extends the apple out to her and say “all this pain will go away with one bite”
Giselle should know of Poison Apples especially since she is aware of Snow White, so she fully and willingly took the Poisoned Apple. I feel this was completely dark because she was willing to un-alive herself because the thought of not being with Robert was tragically heartbreaking.
Maybe she knew the dwarfs before they met snow white 😜
wow this is really deep
Unalive herself?! What is this double speak?
There’s also a line where Robert makes a joke about poisoned apples and she laughs like she gets the joke
@@MalonsMilk Yes, yes it is. The almighty Algorithm doesn't like the S-word.
Also!! I love how they didn't villainise Nancy! Movies, especially the 2000's ones, do it so often. Just make the rival girl a total bitch and practically a villain. Nancy, on the other hand, was just a normal woman who wanted her romance and love and gracefully let go of Robert when she realised they weren't meant for each other. AND they gave her her happily ever after, too! Almost unheard of in 2000's movies and honestly, in movies today, too.
yeah because Giselle was absolutely 'the other girl' who took away her man. had Nancy been the main character then clearly Giselle would have been the antagonist. so I'm really glad they didn't go down this route and I was so glad she found happiness as well.
@@benzaiten933 But Giselle is not to blame. If someone is cheating it's the person who's cheating's fault first and foremost, and then depending on the context, then the 'other girl'
Yeah Nancy is actually a cool character and they make it clear she just isn't right for Robert
Yeah I love that they did that
@@maapauu4282 if the other person knows that the person they’re dating is in a relationship they are participating and complicit in cheating on their partners significant or girlfriend/boyfriend.
When I watched the deleted scenes of this movie it really made me understand Nancy and Robert better. Nancy has her own scene talking to a friend about her relationship. Her friend calls her "a hopeless romantic" in a world where "romance is hopeless" which makes way more sense why Nancy would be down for the literal fairy tale romance that happens at the end.
Yeah, they really didn't do anything with Nancy other than being "Roberts Love interest". She had like no character plot.
@@JayBeeIRL And she was freaking Idina Menzel, in essentially a musical movie. I'm glad she's more prevalent in the second movie's plot so I can't wait to see it
yeah.
She's kinda hinted as to being interested a more whimsical relationship, when Robert (or I think really Giselle lol) sends her flowers, she has a line like "wow, you never do anything spontaneous like this!". But that's as far as it goes, that deleted scene def would've helped to emphasize Nancy's role.
Something I actually like when they’re trying wake Giselle up, is when Edward tries and fails, he goes over to Robert and he’s like “please kiss the woman I love,” and he’s not like “she loves me and only me.” He just wants to wake up Giselle because he cares, and he accepts that she loves someone else. That’s what I like about Edward.
edit: uh wow, thanks everyone for the replies and the likes. i usually comment something and it never gets this much attention. anyway, thank you again! ❤❤
SAME. This is truly love
❤
Yes, totally love this scene and him fo that❣️
Yes and the fact is that Robert wants to because he cares too, but doesn’t want to upset his gf is great
And Nancy saying "Just KISS HER, Robert!" Because contrary to the fairy tale trope, she was NOT an evil stepmother in the making, she was just a busy woman who secretly wanted a happy ever after for herself, but not at the cost of someone's life. (and also she was already kind of digging the dumb hot prince)
At a time when Disney is desperately trying to mine audiences for nostalgia, this movie shows how to do it successfully. It uses all the classic tropes of age-old animated classics, but the movie has a heart of its own and that shines through so much...
you should also do Stardust, man. That movie is weird as hell, but SO GOOD.
One thing I really loved about Enchanted was how it had all of the common Disney fairy princess movie tropes like the extremely over the top hag, poisonous fruit, giant dragon boss fight on a really tall place in the rain, singing animals coming out of absolutely no where, but it handled it in such a way where it’s able to have it’s own identity and isn’t constantly in your face with it’s parody esc. narrative elements
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!*
😑
@@MbitaChizi Okeh, I don't plan on it
These bots keep spamming on every comment. It's so annoying
Yes! It’s honestly the perfect parody because it pokes fun at all those tropes without being obnoxious and cynical. It acknowledges the good and the bad of old school Disney storytelling and I will always adore it for that.
Don’t hate me but that’s exactly why I don’t care for this movie. Even back then, I thought it took too much from other movies and imo made it obnoxious and not original feeling 🤷♀️
I remember seeing this in theaters and watching Giselle turning from cartoon to reality was mind blowing and absolutely the best thing. Just that whole transition and then seeing her at the manhole, my aunt leaned over and whispered, “She’s real.” My eyes widened and my little 7 year old self gasped in awe.
It was incredible and I commend Disney for doing this. It’s a simple concept, but works so well
I know 😭
Oh my god my aunt took me to watch it as well! Such a special memory
Can we just give respect to Amy Adams. She had the mannerisms nailed down. How she moved, walk, her gestures and expression were just prefect.
Enough said.
It's incredible for her to go from this to Lois Lane
@@bemasaberwyn55 and then to Arrival and Nocturnal Animals. She is one of the best actors/actresses in Hollywood today.
Yes, the role was made for her
11:49 I like how you can hear Jodi Benson's Ariel voice pop out for a little bit despite her being sarcastic lol 😂😂
I think you underestimate how many people love this movie. It’s self-aware, hilarious, well made, well acted, actually really sweet and heartfelt, and all around a really good and fun movie. I’ve seen this movie a bunch of times and talk about it with others fairly often. I know a lot of people who really love this movie and have been waiting for a sequel for years.
Fr
Yessir i just watch this last week😂
I still sing the little tune she does to charm the birds to her. This movie was iconic and it's definitely beloved.
Just say you're a theatre kid
The only thing I dislike is what came after: everything is in NYC now if its a fish out of water story. All modern disney must be meta!
Not the movie's fault it did both these things well and missed why the fuck it WORKED. The smurfs being savy isnt fun. A literal disney princess acting like a disney princess in a modern city is friggin funny
'no one remembered or thought about until disney announced a sequel' speak for yourself Alex there's a lot of fans of this movie. The sequel is just giving me an extra reason to rewatch it for the 100th time.
based
Onggg I'll forever love it
Ong bro I’ve remembered this movie all my life it’s one of my favorites of all time
Same here 🤣😍
I remember it real well along with the Pirates and the Narnia franchise in the 2000s. Let's hope this sequel isn't a disappointment like HP 2.
One thing I really love about the movie is that the statue that Giselle makes at the beginning is wearing the suit Robert wears at the ball
I never noticed that! And I've seen the movie about 50 million times 🤣
EXCUSE ME, I never noticed that!!!
Dear goodness, I didn't think it was possible to make this movie any better. That statues suit has always itched my brain and now I know why.
Even the dream Giselle was having was foreshadowing that last ball scene. "We were holding hands and dancing"
😮
Okay but did anyone else fall in love with Edward? He's honestly an icon, and one of my favorite Disney princes after Naveen & Flynn. James Marsden was so cute in that role.
Edit: Plus, the songs and animation being so well-done & made with care ("True Love's Kiss" and "How Do You Know" are still bangers) just shows how much Disney fell off on both aspects. This is so visible in the sequel, where I can't remember one song & the animation was ugly and lazy.
Edward maried nancy in the animation disney version
"How Does She Know" is without a doubt one of the best Disney movie songs EVER
@@cheskatwixtor Cheap? Rushed? Are you serious? This is really showing you don't know anything about animation. It's so fluid and smooth, how could you say it looks cheap? It looks better than the sequel of The Little Mermaid!
Well, I'm not surprised. Edward is a genuinely good guy who thinks and wants the the best for everyone and is designed to be perfect because he's a LITERAL DISNEY PRINCE.
I think the funniest oversight of the core plot is that the evil queen is probably the only one who actually wants to do the executive power stuff she's trying to hold onto. Okay let's say Edward and Giselle had gotten married and inherited the throne. They both probably wouldn't notice, care, or in any way be suspicious if the evil queen just kept ruling from behind the scenes, as Yzma attempts to do in Emperor's New Groove.
Maybe normal Man love interest can apoint someone like a Democratic republic hehe

Let's be straight up - Enchanted is one of the best Disney movie ever. Absolutely no joke. A movie ahead of it's time.
Can't agree more. ❤️
remember when Frozen was like "look at how modern we are for criticizing how romance works in fairytales"?
All I could think was "Enchanted existed long before you and did it better".
Ayeeee this movie is one of those things it should've turned into a cult classic.
Agree!!
Plus the jokes and deepre meaning and such
Additional fun fact, Nancy is played by Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa in frozen, so we’ve got two princess voice actresses in this movie.
Thank you! I was looking and looking through the comments to see if this was mentioned.
Idina Menzel was also Maureen from Rent and Elphaba from Wicked
I was literally about to comment this!
Elsa isn't a princess, she's a queen.
@@Souchi-ito for part of the first movie she was a princess along with during flashbacks in the second film
Enchanted is just one of the most underrated Disney movies ever! I absolutely love it and am sad that it got forgotten by so many people! Glad it got a sequal, but wish the sequal wasn't just on Disney Plus. Really wanted to add it to my DVD collection.
You bring up a good point. Will any of the Disney+ productions end up on DVD/Blu-ray? I know Netflix had box sets of Stranger Things, but I can't think of another show they made physical media for.
“No one remembered or thought about at all” EXCUSE ME I watched that movie at least 4 times when it came out cause it’s basically the only Disney movie my mom cares about😂
So underrated
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!*
😑
Bruh same. It's like the ONLY Disney princess movie she likes.
it’s also my mom’s favorite Disney movie; it’s my childhood as well because we had the dvd and saw it very often! I learned to appreciate it lol now we’re so excited for disenchanted :D
Watched this film tons with my mom but now she does not like movies let alone magic movies haha
Only four? Amateur I probably watched it over 50 times
I love Robert's reaction to Giselle singing "That's how you know".
Robert: "He knows this song too. I've never heard this song".
That was the greatest scene in the whole movie because you are also genuinely thinking how these random New York street performers also know a whole song and dance routine. 😂❤❤❤
The amount of work poured from the production team and the performers in the How Does She Know scene are magnificent. The way they incorporated all the artists into the dance sequence and the cinematography is amazing.
that scene is so wonderful. always gives me chills
Omg I love that song sm
I love this song! Still gives me chills thinking about the work they put into creating such a magical scene. But Robert's little jazz hands and forced fake smile kill me every time.
“Hot goth mommy queen” 😂😂😂😂
One thing that I only realized during my last rewatch of this masterpiece is that the step mother really just did _not_ have to kill Giselle. I mean the whole thing is that if Edward gets married that would somehow dethrone her so for his whole life she's just tried to keep Edward away from all young maidens, not that she totally could've killed him at any point to just avoid it ever becoming an issue but she never did.
Anyway as we all know Giselle is an issue she gets sent to our world, Edward goes after her and Nathaniel jumps in to try and poison Giselle, but that's when the whole thing goes sideways. Because the queen _obviously_ notices that Giselle is starting to fall for Robert. It would be so much smarter AND easier for her to stop trying to kill Giselle and instead push her towards Robert and lead her to making the choice that everyone already knew she was ultimately going to make anyway. The queen could set it up so that Edward comes to rescue Giselle to find that she is happy and in love with another man which could potentially shatter his image of love forever and make him think he will be much happier alone. The queen would get to continue being queen without killing anyone, Edward would never find out that his step mother is evil, Giselle would still be happy with Robert and think that she made the right decision by herself, literally no suspicions would be raised, ever.
Excellent hot take!
@@DezMarivette yes
Well if they did that, they wouldn't have a reference Maleficent Dragon fight.
OMG, I never realized this
@@ambarcastaneda4763 same
Something I really like about the ballroom scene that I noticed but didn't fully understand as a kid is how Gizelle, who is the definition of a fairytale princess that wears puffy and big dresses that are over the top, is instead dressed in a very slim, modern, and understated dress. Meanwhile Robert who is very much NOT a fairytale guy and is overall a realist and dresses simply, it now decked out inmuch more elegant and fairytale-escue attire. Idk, I just like on how they are dressed completely opposite to their personalities and I've always wondered if that was done on purpose.
the director confirmed that this was done on purpose!! if you also notice giselle's dresses slowly go from 'outward' (you get what i mean?) and elegant, more fairytale dresses to that modern purple dress (which symbolises her character arc throughout the movie!)
Yeah it's like Grease when the main characters change their style to match the other's style.
I remember seeing one comment on the "So Close" music video scene (the video got deleted though,) and the comment went like, "Giselle wanted to be real and Robert wanted a fairytale of his own" which explains the style swaps.
Yeah, I honestly don't think Giselles ball attire really suits her considering how she wears such over-the-top puffy dresses throughout the rest of the movie (which look amazing on her). I guess it's because they needed to show a difference between her normal attire and her dress in this scene, but still, it doesn't suit her.
I LOVE THIS
This film was honestly a masterpiece. Prince Edward is my favourite Disney price, hes just so brutally honest and crazy I can't help but smile whenever he is on screen
Helps that he’s hella handsome
@@lilacfunk James marsden in this and hairspray was my childhood crush fr
What I never got was this. If Giselle was now in love with Robert and didn't want to marry Edward anymore, doesn't that solve the queen's problems?
Exactly. That’s always confused me.
I'm so late! I don't think so. I feel like once Edward is married, he's eligible to take his father's throne -- as Narcissa is widowed to the rightful King. He's now married to Nancy, which places him in the status to rule. I found that it didn't make sense, because he's the Prince by blood, he should've been able to rule without a bride, so... It's more confusing the more I explain, but... That's Disney for you 🤭
Narissa specifically says "so the little forest rat thinks she can steal.” Narissa was concerned about Giselle, Edward’s WIFE, taking her position as ruler. NOT Edward.
From this I concluded that Andalasia is a matriarchy where queens traditionally rule.
Definitely not underrated or forgotten. There's a large fan group for it. Its a spectacular movie. Seen it various times throughout the years. I was so excited when they announced a second one... and it actually looks really interesting, grander and magical.
I was so mad when I could find it on Disney+(when that first came out)!
*couldn't
Indeed. I never watched and yet I read about it all the time in internet. People love it
I hope it doesn't turn out like Hocus Pocus 2
@@naivelopez3601 it’s actually better than Hocus Pocus 2 in my opinion.
My favourite line from the queen is "Alright, I'm flexible" because Robert really thought what he said would deter her from fighting him to get to Gisele 😂😂 she's such an icon for that.
Yesss 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I loved IT and laughed so hard the first time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“One movie that no one remembered or thought about….” Sir this movie has and still lives in my head rent free

Same same 🤝
FR!!!! My fav live action Disney princess movie lol
I watch it all the time lol it was a huge part of my childhood
Yeah, I thought that was a weird statement. I see conversations about this movie all the time.
Just watched this movie, and it is one of the best things Disney has and will ever make. Incredibly self aware. Healthy relationships. Funny. Likable characters. Character growth. NOT preachy. NOT hateful or mean spirited, towards ANYONE. Perfect. Even the villains are nice. It's not just a romantic movie, it's also a story about personal growth.
"How did it take 15 years to get a sequel " Um Alex, the henchman to the queen was in the last 5 Harry Potter films as Wormtail, Robert was in Grey's Anatomy and Transformers Dark of the Moon. Edward was in 2 Sonic Movies(as well as X-Men), and Giselle became Lois Lane. The last 15 years has been KINDA insane
Not to mention at this point of time James/Edwards has just also done Superman (we can also see a glimpse of its posters in Enchanted when he’s standing on the bus) and also he was doing Hop after this. All these actors were REALLY damn busy.
Can’t forget James being in Westworld.
Kinda crazy how you forgot to mention Idina Menzel becoming one of the most popular disney characters ever, Elsa? It was truly insane though.
@@souju_13 completely forgot about that
@@souju_13 She was also doing Wicked the musical around this time.
My favorite part of this movie is that you think it’s going to fall into all these tropes, but it subverts your expectations
From being a kid to an adult, I still tear up at the ball scene and the song So Close. Plus, Ever After was killer.
And I love that Robert spends the whole movie confused why everyone knows the words to the songs but then in that scene that is just *so good 🥰* HE KNOWS THE WORDS TO THE SONG
I love how we’re all coming together to defend this movie lol, who knew there are so many who loved this movie
THANK GOSH! I really like this channel, but did he really come to talk shiit about a movie that marked my childhood???
HELL NO!!! Not here, not now!
Including Alex lmao. Feels weird
This is the 1st Disney movie I remember watching that showcased a strong, classic feminine princess as the hero. Like she literally saves Robert after he saves her, proving she isn't just a damsel. And as a little girl I LOVED that. I can't wait for the sequel.
Same
I love how he tried so hard to not be cringe about asking people to like and comment.
I remember seeing Enchanted in theaters and I loved it. Honestly, the song "That's How You Know" gets stuck in my head at least once a year. So I was so happy when Disney finally put it on Disney+ in the last year or so. But the craziest thing to me, watching it back as an adult, was the fact that Idina Menzel played Nancy. But I guess that just goes to show how long I went without seeing it
And they didn't even give her a song!!
This movie has always been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. Killer cast, wonderful story, but most importantly, it's just fun. And it perfectly captures that New York City feeling, a place simultaneously jaded and cynical yet full of hope and dreams. Still holds up. So glad you enjoyed it, Alex!
My dad and I watched this just because the tv station randomly played a movie. I still remember how my dad used to call this the ‘live-action Rapunzel’(which idk where the rapunzel came out of)
Enchanted is a classic, you can't convince me that nobody remembers this movie and rewatches it often like I do
Okay but the Ballroom Scene where Robert actually Sang to Giselle is what showed how complicated their Love was and always has a place in my Heart.
Every single time I watch that part where Robert sings to Giselle just gives me goosebumps everytime
I saw Enchanted in 2007 (I was 12 years old), I fell in love with it and it’s still my favorite Disney live action movie. ✨ I remember crying at Disneyland when I saw Giselle at the parade. In 2010 my high school theatre club (in the Philippines) did an adaptation of Enchanted and I played Giselle.
I guess it was underrated at that time because the “mature” storyline wasn’t relatable to kids. At 12 years old, I appreciated how different it was from the typical/classic Disney fairytales we see. If it were released in the mid 2010s, people would appreciate it more.
It wouldn't be released in the middle of the 2010. Kids were already brainwashed in the agenda cult. That is why they will release a no romance Snow White.
I remember this movie, it was definitely weird but I feel like one of the better Disney movies like this
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!*
😑
I still have “Thats How You Know” on my playlist. This movie has a special place in my heart: you can CHOOSE to love the aspects of a person that are different from yourself ; a lot of love is about acceptance; it’s never to late to love
My family and I adore Enchanted. When I was younger we would watch it all the time together, we actually watched it a while ago, just a couple months before the sequel announcement! And it's such a fun time every time! I love the humor and the story, the whole self-awareness of it is EXACTLY my jam. Sup[er funny and entertaining! But still, thanks for the cool video Alex :)
I love Enchanted so much, everyone plays their roles perfectly. I hope they carry their energy into the sequel.
Oh that sequel is going to be hot dumpster juice. I guarantee it.
Enchanted was able to do what the remakes fail at: be fun an inventive, celebrate the past but look to the future.
I really hope the sequel is just as good. The fact that they are turning Giselle into the evil step mother, PER THE RULES OF FAIRY TALES oh my god GENIUS. Genius writing.
I hope we get a more detailed explanation on why Giselle is turning evil besides just saying
"It's fairy tail tradition DUH!"
@@DrawciaGleam02 I’m guessing you mean aside from the fact that, since she’s married to Robert, that would make her Nancy’s step-mother?
@@whichcache2517
Yeah...that.
@@DrawciaGleam02 Oh. Well, there has to be some sort of unhappiness that causes Gizelle to use the wand in the first place, so I think once they all get to the core of that, things'll make more sense in terms of how everything gets addressed.
Hopefully this won't be a repeat of the first one where the evil stepmother/queen is unfortunately the least developed part of the movie.
11:39 "I've called every travel-agent..." After the 1st one says they've never heard of it, wouldn't you double check the map? Would your next move really be calling every other travel-agent?
Is this an American thing? When travel-agents can't get a good deal on a destination from the airlines, they just pretend that country doesn't exist.
Ngl a travel agent once said my country doesn’t exist and she’d never even heard of it
14:56 you’d think she would have learned not to trust random old ladies offering her stuff by now
THIS IS LITTERALLY THE MOVIE THAT SHAPED MY WHOLE PERSONALITY SO YOU APPROVING IT AND CALLING IT A GOOD MOVIE MAKES MY HEART SCREAM WITH HAPPINESS THANK YOU
Enchanted was one of the movies I didn’t really care too much for when I was a child but I’ve just grown to appreciate it more and more as I’ve gotten older. I introduced it to my boyfriend who has SOMEHOW NEVER even heard of it and now the two of us can’t stop singing the cheesy songs to each other randomly.
It was released when I was well and truly into adulthood, and I loved it. Most parodies and homages are best understood by adults who have seen all the source material and can recognise all the tropes.
One of my favourite little details is that Robert was Giselle's dream man. Edward wore red throughout the movie, but Robert wore blue to the ball. Giselle's dream man mannequin also wore blue.
Wow! You blew my mind, I did not realize that 🤯
@@paschameleon I didn’t realize it until recently and felt so dumb 😂
I honestly think the part where Giselle is talking to the soon-to-be-divorced couple is very sweet. And what's so bad about one girl admiring another girl's hair??
🙋🏾♀️ Loctician here! I feel like it's more about him not wanting to tap into what could lead to a heated discussion about black women's discomfort in other people going into their personal space. In my years of cosmetology, black women view their hair as an extension of their autonomy and spiritual connection to the world, and not just aesthetic expression. Having a stranger touch you without consent -- especially without knowledge of where their hands have been -- can feel very strange and a violation of their bubble. I understand that it can be fascinating and beautiful (trust, even I still love to touch a person's hair, if it's pretty) but we have to be kind and understanding that not everyone is okay with it. I hope that helps
@@OyayoTheStorm Ah yes, makes sense! I do have to say though, as someone who loves hair of all kinds, I think there's a little bit of a stigma related to white people liking the hair styles that black people, whether men or women, wear, because it's assumed to be just based on race. Hair is gorgeous and should be taken care of no matter your background, and having someone appreciate your hair that could literally take hours to do, can be very rewarding. Of course, no touching ANY ONE'S hair without consent. That is too much lol
That's valid, Love; and I agree. Partially, it's why I ended the comment with "anyone", and not just isolate it to black women, and made the statement that I Love touching people's hair, as well! Shoot, I have clients of All hair types, so I tend to even do their hair in my head. Still... It's a history thing, and with the generational trauma that's rooted in one's DNA, as it pertains to being treated like an exhibit, but also ridiculed in the next breath for that very thing, it just becomes sacred, but I do understand that hair can be really universally fun and extra! And you just wanna look with your hands! I Do appreciate you understanding the importance of consent, and how precious that can be to all races, and I also do respect that not all non-blacks want to stick their hands in folk's heads 🤭🤭🤭
Rewatched this movie last night, and it really did age well. I like how Gizelle just seemed unhinged or like she was on something the entire time.
She really did seem like she was losing it 😆
This movie is so underrated, absolutely a classic. I'm glad you enjoyed it for the most part!
I fell in love with this movie when I saw it in theaters and rushed to get the DVD when it was released; that closeup on their kiss, though, was intense on the big screen. Just sayin'. This movie is basically Disney writing itself a love letter while also poking fun at its tropes. Also, the amount of Easter eggs in this movie are insane, like the voices of Pocahontas and Belle also being featured, "Part of Your World" playing in the background of Robert's office while his secretary was also present, etc. (IMDb has a long list of them.). I especially like the hindsight irony of how Idina Menzel as Elsa says, "You can't marry a man you just met," in "Frozen" and yet. .. well... her character does just that in this movie.
Honestly, this just makes "Wish" even MORE disappointing, 100 year "spectacular" and they did it better YEARS ago. :/
i always find it funny when people think not having access to a shower means no bathing at all. based on other aspect i'd imagine most disney princesses to be using hand drawn and heated baths.
This movie was NEVER forgotten.. until this day I still remember the songs of this movie.. it was just perfect
I saw this movie once at my cousins house and literally forgot until this video
my favorite thing about this video is how it doesn't even crosses his mind that you can wash yourself without a full on modern shower
I grew up loving Enchanted and was always so sad when my friends didn’t know what I was talking about and with Disenchanted coming out people are probably gonna hate it like Hocus Pocus 2 but they have no expectations for it to live up to
It looks really good tho
the fact that this is one of my favorite movies of all time and it has alex’s approval?? iM HERE FOR IT YES
Literally same! I love this movie! 😁
This movie was my childhood and I probably watched it a hundred times, watching it now at an older age is just a jewel, it still holds up and every time I watch I have an amazing time, im so glad the sequel is coming with the same cast!
My favorite thing about Enchanted is that I always felt like it was Disney being tongue in cheek and poking fun at themselves and their princess stories.
17:20 I mean who wouldn't take the hot dumb himbo? He's nice and does the things that she wanted, like be romantic hopeful and stuff.
14:43 "The hot goth mommy queen...." hahahaha
Dear TH-cam Algorithm, Alex is awesome. I love his videos they're funny, relatable, informative and the animation slaps. Please put his videos through your backwards system. Thank you- a fan of Alex Meyers. ❤
Enchanted is a great movie. It pays respect to the old Disney cartoons. It also does make fun of some of the funny things that Disney does like having people fall in love with each other instantly. There are a lot of really funny moments in this movie.
7:26 She needs a place to sleep: maybe call Bellview and ask if they're missing any princesses? (Were they still open back then?)🤪
I still cry when Nancy is like “kiss her Robert, it’s ok.”
It was really tough to watch that part of the scene.
I remember as a kid,I liked this movie but really wishing that it stayed animated for the whole movie cause the animation was beautiful.
I’ve been binging all your “this movie was weird” videos before my class and it’s top tier. Definitely worth the sub
Fun Fact: Jeff Bennett actually voices Pip the chipmunk in animated form whereas Kevin Lima, who is the director, does the vocal effects for Pip when he’s transported to New York City.
I very much enjoy this movie. It's just so fun, and when it came out, it was pretty groundbreaking for the twisted fairytale thing. But seriously, the evil queen had no earthly reason to be so hot.
It was kind of sweet that my dad just HAD to take his three adult daughters to go see it. (seriously, my youngest sister was 21 and I was nearly 30...)
7:55 when your cousin invites his friends and throws a party
This was actually the first movie I ever saw in a theater at just 3 years old. And it's still one of my favorites, I just love it
I remember Disney played this movie on Disney channel a lot when I was a kid and I loved it. This movie gives me a lot of nostalgia and I totally forgot what it was called until now! I love how they mixed animation and real life together in this movie. It's quite different from Disneys usually work too. Great movie!
I really liked this movie. To the point that we stopped watching it because we lost the DVD. Then we found the dvd, turns out it was inside our laptop somehow. The disk did not survive.
The tragedy!
idk why it took me till the second movie to realise nancy’s actor is also the voice actor of elsa from frozen. The moment she started singing and hitting those notes it literally hit me
13:13 now if this wasn't a disney movie....... i think we all know what would've happened 😅
I love these videos also the song from Enchanted "That's How You Know" is very underrated
I LOVE this movie like the amount of effort they put into this movie is amazing. The attention to detail is incredible and the way they pulled off scenes like „How does she know you love her“ and the ballroom scene at the end is unparalleled by any live action fairytale from that time 😍
My dad used to rewatch this movie all the time. It was some of my favorite memories being with him and singin along. It truly is a classic that hasn't gotten old
Who could forget that this movie exists? It is a classic, and I watch it all the time!
8:45 she probably did bathe, it's just not in the way we would today. Also people in medieval times would only bathe like once a month, so it's pretty normal to be a bit stinky
Thank you for talking about this movie. I have the feeling it's very underrated compared to other Disney stuff that get constantly talked about. I remember watching it with my mom so many years ago and it's such a fond memory. I'm happy they're making a sequel and I'm also relieved you actually like this one.
You know it’s interesting that the true loves kiss thing came from Snow White but in earlier versions of the story, like the one I grew up on, the prince actually just dislodges the poisoned apple from her throat and that’s what saves her.
The strongest magic of all: heimleich maneuveur
The ball song always move me. Like I feel the pain, love, and everything.
It's pretty much my favorite Disney movie. Amy Adam's is just delightful and the whole movie is so self aware of what it is and what it's trying to do. And the music is phenomenal.
The real reason it took so long to get a sequel made is a contract dispute between Adams and Disney, if I remember correctly. The movie was planned to launch a new princess with sequels, a TV show and characters in the parks. But Amy Adams wouldn't agree to sign away her likeness for merchandising and would only commit to things on a film by film basis instead of agreeing to a long term contract after this movie came out.
Several scripts had been proposed but they all stalled because Disney wasn't willing to cut her in on merchandising of her likeness, essentially. I guess they (or her, possibly) changed their stance.
Don't know about "One movie that no one remembered or thought about….” I liked this movie since it was released and rewatched it from time to time. I was really glad to hear that they will do the second part!
I was obsessed with enchanted as a kid😭😭 (I’m still kinda young) and it was my favorite movie for like a year
Oh man I was so worried by the start that you were going to say bad things about it, but you chose correctly at the end, saying it's a fantastic movie that is loved.
I love that Robert rubs off on Giselle too. It's not just one changing the other.
Love "How does she know" in central park with all the regular people/characters you'd see there.
The final, lightning-struck battle is a homage to the battles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast.
The song they dance to at the ball, called So Close, took heavy inspiration from the title song from Beauty and the Beast.
The telenovela has a bunch of references in one:
The female soap star “Angela” (so named for Angela Lansbury, who voiced Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast) is played by Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle. “Angela” is arguing with a man named “Jerry” (Jerry Orbach voiced Lumiere) because she’s having an affair with a man named “Ogden” (David Ogden Stiers voiced Cogsworth). This soap opera scene is scored with music from Beauty and the Beast.
Tangled was still in development when this movie aired, so the Rapunzel play you see in That's How You Know is a nod to that. And the little girl is the director's daughter, I believe.
The neighbor with a bunch of kids, the one that said Edward was "too late", was the voice actress for Pocahontas.
the people around the bus when the prince stabbed it aren't extras. They're real tourists!
The Italian restaurant they were eating at was called Bella Notte, in reference to the song from Lady and the Tramp
Yep, you guessed it, the reporters name is a reference too:
Her name is Mary Ilene Caselotti, which is a reference to Mary Costa (the voice of Aurora), Ilene Woods (the voice of Cinderella) and Adriana Caselotti (the voice of Snow White).
The troll was wearing Ariels shell earrings, and his loincloth had Cinderellas maid outfit, and auroras rose outfit, Belle’s village dress, and Snow White’s rags.
Nancy's last name is Tremaine, in reference to the evil stepmother from Cinderella.
This gets even better when you remember she WAS the stepmother in Camille's Cinderella
The pink flowers on Giselles dress are actually little Mickey mouses. Same goes for the bus drivers hair.
Robert's last name is Phillip, in reference to Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty
That's How You know is meant to be a mix of Kiss the Girl and Under the Sea. There's even a boat scene reference.
The caramel apple drizzle is meant to look like the skull design on the poison apple from snow white.
One of the old men in the That's How You Know number was a chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.
The hotel the Prince and Nathaniel are staying at is called the Grand Duke, in reference to Cinderellas Grand Duke
