Disney charmed moviegoers in 2007 with Enchanted, a wonderful parody of fairytale cliches lead by the endearing Amy Adams, as it took humorous aim at its own image. The Mouse house has now produced a sequel after fifteen years, and the outcome is largely worth the wait. Disenchanted by Adam Shankman, which will debut this weekend on Disney+ rather than in cinemas like its predecessor, has the distinct impression of being a sequel because it's far bigger than the original and possibly didn't need to be made. However, because to Adams' outstanding performance, Disenchanted still retains enough of wonder, even if some things aren't quite as magical this time.

Enchanted left off with former fairytale princess Giselle (Adams) finding her happily ever after in contemporary New York City, settling up with her true love Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and his daughter Morgan. An animated beginning kindly informs audiences of this (Gabriella Baldacchino, perfectly taking over from rachel Covey). Giselle, who longs for her planet of Andalasia, has grown less enamoured with this existence in the years after that end. She uproots her family and forces them to relocate to the Monroeville area, which severely irks Morgan. Giselle, who is fervently trying to live the life she wants, makes a wish with an Andalasian wand that Edward (James Marsden) and Nancy (Idina Menzel) gave her, and it makes the fanciful come true. Giselle's dream, however, has unintended consequences, as do all wishes.

Disenchanted does not try to merely duplicate what came before, in contrast to a significant many of much anticipated sequels. Instead, screenwriter Brigitte Hales creates a fresh narrative that examines a common fairytale trope: evil stepmothers. The subversive handling of the Disney-approved happy ending in the first film was a breath of fresh air, which puts Disenchanted at a slight disadvantage from the start. Currently, various initiatives (beginning with ABC's Once Upon a Time, which also descended from a Disney branch) aim to demolish these well-known motifs. However, despite the fact that it isn't quite as original, Disenchanted still gets praise for displaying some creative flair.

Though this sequel offers a second conclusive ending in case the story ends here, it is unclear whether Disney plans to conjure up an Enchanted 3 at some point. Although one wishes Disney had chosen to give Disenchanted a theatrical run due to its size, it will undoubtedly draw a sizable streaming audience. Even though this sequel doesn't quite top the first one, it is still a respectable continuation. Anyone who enjoyed the first Enchanted should enjoy this one as well.
