It would have been so easy for them to write Prince Edward as a toxic Gaston-type and Nancy as a jealous shrew. I'm so happy that they were both written as likable and sympathetic, and they got their happily-ever-after too.

Amy Adams is ✨flawless✨ in this movie, James Marsden is the perfect himbo prince, and Patrick Dempsey is a really good romantic lead too. Definitely one of my favorite Rom coms.

The point of the fairy tale stereotypes were on purpose. They were making fun of their own movies. We had Disney Cameos like the voice of Ariel the receptionist. Her music played in the background, also voice of Belle on the TV drama, with music from Beauty and The Beast playing. And other little things

The calypso beat in “That’s How You Know” is intended as a nod to “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl” in The Little Mermaid.

Honestly, Nancy accepting that Robert had fallen in love with Giselle with that "Kiss her Robert" line hits me everytime. Like, she surely noticed that as much as the both of them wanted a relationship, Nancy wished for a prince while Robert was still broken from his other relationship. So glad they both got their happy endings lol

the fact that by the end Giselle became a slightly more practical and settled person, and Nancy (the "practical" girlfriend) did a super impulsive thing and ran off with the prince. she obviously was hiding a more romantic side from her uber practical but lovable single dad boyfriend. I can't wait to see what the second movie is like.

Nancy’s last name is Tremaine, a reference to the wicked stepmother in Cinderella.

And even more irony: In Camilles Cinderella, she DOES play the stepmother!

"I'm angry"-moment is so iconic, because she has never experienced that before - she has had such a positive and naive "goodness wins in the end"-point of view of the world and fairytale-like happy and bubbly personality that she doesn't know what anger is or why anyone would be angry. It must have been both so scary and also relieving to experience anger for the first time.

As many others have said, I love how they gently mock Disney-stereotypes and give almost everyone some character-development (they really could've made Nancy and Edward boring or bad guy-like, but I'm really glad they didn't). The dance-scene is so iconic in every way: I like that everyone else except Giselle has dressed up in a fairytale-costumes and Robert "Mr. "I don't sing" actually does just that.

I'm very excited about the sequel and that so many of the original cast are returning. Thanks for this reaction.

If you pay attention the outfit the mannequins wearing is the same outfit that Robert is wearing at the end. I love that little detail. Also James Marsden the actor for Prince Edward wanted the bikes running him over to look real so they actually ran him over 😭😭. Giselle laughed when she was angry bc she’s never been angry before s  ok she was excited to feel a new emotion

Funfact: Disenchanted which is Enchanted 2 is currently being filmed in Ireland 😄

Robert’s secretary Sam is played by Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. You can also hear "Part of your world" in the background.

I cannot help but wonder how the conversation went when Robert had to explain to Giselle that there are in fact other “things that touch.”  😆  Nice job Davidaniel!  💜

Ah yes, the continuation of Welchy having a meltdown over whether he's a furry or not

This is a big one:

deep breath

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.

The woman that says Prince Edward is "too late" is Judy Kuhn, the singing voice of Pocahontas.

The troll in the opening sequence is sporting a trendy loincloth consisting of remnants of Cinderella’s maid get-up, Aurora’s Briar Rose dress, Belle’s village dress, and Snow White’s rags. His earrings are also made of Ariel’s shell top.

Nancy got the real happy ending here. I'd choose animated Disney world over real life any day

16:29 I think the point here is that they never actually wanted to get divorced in the first place. Hence the petty argument over a baseball card. And then once they were reminded of the little things they'd forgotten about, like her eyes, it all came flooding back, and suddenly the other stuff just didn't matter anymore.

Because you missed it: Morgan's birth mother left her and Robert when Morgan was just a year old; her and Robert possibly met when he was in law school and after he graduated, they got married and she was pregnant with Morgan at the time. Even after Robert got a job as a divorce lawyer and she was a stay-at-home mom, this probably impacted her mental health in a negative way and she couldn't just take it anymore: So a short time after Morgan's first birthday, she left leaving Robert divorce papers and him full custody of Morgan.

Over the years I’ve really grown to appreciate Nathaniel’s arc.  I love how much he grows as a character, and his happy ending as a successful writer, with the song lyric “you even might wind up being glad to be you” is really uplifting.
