About Disenchanted
Giselle, now living in the suburbs with her husband Robert and their daughter Morgan, longs for a true fairytale ending. Restless with city life, she leans on Andalasia for guidance. A miscast wish reshapes the town into a live action fairy tale, threatening the family's future and forcing Giselle to confront what real happiness means. As the clock ticks, she must undo the spell before changes become permanent, while navigating the quirks of both magical and ordinary worlds. The story blends humor and spectacle and heartfelt moments. Along the way, she recruits old friends and new allies to balance romance with responsibility, and she discovers that a happily ever after may require work, compromise, and a little faith.
Directed by Adam Shankman, Disenchanted is a sequel to Enchanted (2007) that expands the same musical universe and sources its spirit from the original film. It blends live action with bright fantasy, bringing back familiar faces while introducing new conflicts and songs that grow the heroine's world. The production highlights include a polished musical score and visually playful set pieces.
Disenchanted leans into the clash between fairy tale fantasy and contemporary suburbia, delivering bright musical numbers and witty meta jokes about happily ever after. Maya Rudolph as Malvina Monroe makes a sharp impression, a suburban power broker who wields magic with a sly grin. Giselle and Edward navigate two very different worlds while balancing family duties with enchantment.
Critics offered mixed reactions, praising Adams's warmth and stagey musical numbers while noting a thinner plot compared to the original. The film keeps a family focus and uses humor to question the idea of a perfect fairy tale. It suggests happiness may require choosing between romance and responsibility, and between magic and ordinary life.
Box office details are not provided in the data available; the film released on Disney+ with a limited theatrical run in some regions, and the exact worldwide gross remains undisclosed. Still, the title drew attention as a high profile streaming sequel.
What Viewers Are Saying
Disenchanted jumps 15 years ahead with Giselle, Robert, and their new daughter, but the sparkle wears thin as a careless wish kicks off a clock-ticking race to avert disaster. Some scenes land when Adams and Rudolph spark off each other and the animation bits pop, and the film stays kid friendly with enough jokes to amuse younger viewers. The pacing sags and the movie never fully recaptures the first film's charm, leaving a decent to mild impression rather than a strong one.
