Verwünscht

Übergänge zwischen verschiedenen Zeitepochen gibt es zuhauf, und es war an der Zeit, das Äquivalent zu Space Jam zu inszenieren, und dieses Mal wird die (Fast-)Prinzessin aus dem Märchenland ins geschäftige New York transportiert. Diese ganze Geschichte ist wie die Märchen selbst - einfach, schlicht, naiv und unglaubwürdig. "Sie lebten glücklich bis an ihr Lebensende!" und "Die Glocke hat geläutet und das Märchen ist vorbei!" Die Besetzung ist gut gewählt - Amy Adams ist reizend als naives Feenmädchen, Timothy "Little Worm" Spalls negative Rollen funktionieren wie ein Uhrwerk, und Susan Sarandon kann einfach nicht enttäuschen. Und dann ist da natürlich noch der erstaunliche Pip, das Eichhörnchen. Kurz gesagt, ein wunderschönes Märchen, das in der heutigen Zeit spielt, über eine Märchen-"Prinzessin" aus dem Land, in dem Rotkäppchen einen Wolf mit einer Axt jagt (das hat mich wirklich beeindruckt) und einen modernen "Prinzen". Allein die Anführungszeichen bedeuten, dass sie zusammengehören. (12.08.2010)

Enchanted fully corresponds to the traditions of the Disney studio focused on producing commercially successful family films with fairytale themes in the most conventionally imaginable way. It is desperately cluttered, colorful, romantic, emotional, and above all, extremely saccharine. It's like eating four large chocolates at once. Not that I, with my notorious sweet tooth, wouldn't try that, but the result would be a ruined stomach - and that's how it is with this film. It is an adorably kitschy work that many can swoon over, but it simply doesn't sit well with me. Just like the artistic style of classic Disney movies doesn't sit well with me. Overall impression: 40%. The only thing worth mentioning is the visually remarkable closing credits that imitate the style of books painted by medieval monks. (17.04.2008)

For a long time, it remained a mystery to me which jewel had nested in the expanding silent fan base, and after the first twenty minutes, I felt like I had lost myself. The sweet tones, hair curls, dress ruffles, and life truths started rolling in a bit too much, and I began to hide from them. But as soon as you open your sensors to this romance even just halfway, it rushes to you so forcefully that you won't let it go back. Amy Adams is so sweet that you would immediately take her home, sing with her, and something like the dance interlude from the ball is so romantic that it shook the foundations of my tear ducts. This movie was exactly for me from the beginning. I just realized it a bit later. (21.03.2008)

It was a romantic fairy tale so the ending was a given, but it didn't bother me at all in this case. What annoyed me was the singing which I hate in fairy tales (except for the Happy Working Song – I did enjoy that one). Otherwise, it was great fun and it put me in a cheerful mood. Princess Giselle was incredibly adorable, Prince Edward was incredibly.....valiant. I was amused by Giselle's ability to transform any fabric into a great-looking item of clothing. When she met her new animal friends, I giggled like a little kid. To sum it up; I had a great time, the film wasn’t spoiled by a melodramatic ending, and even though it was an undemanding watch, it put me in a good mood, and that's what counts. / Lesson learned: Don't underestimate rodents.

It's a pretty fairytale, and the integration with animation here is better than anywhere else. It's charming and very visually appealing at first glance, but Amy Adams manages to irritate me so much that I don't even enjoy watching it. James Marsden is great though because he's essentially playing a dimwit, which is quite funny compared to animated princes. (13.03.2015)
