| With this film, Disney have cracked the market yet again. How clever to introduce actors such as Patrick Dempsey, and in particular Amy Adams, to a part animated film. Their calibre within ‘trendier’ and more mainstream films expand Enchanted’s audience; and indeed make this an enjoyable film for both older kids and parents to watch. The script is very clever, with wit, fun, and content to appeal on all levels. This is a super film, a near perfect combination of animation and live action. I would expect to see more in the same vein from Disney soon, and this is no bad thing; highly recommended. |

| My whole family loved this film and could not wait for it to come out on DVD. It is a great send by Disney about Disney - but what really makes it work is the cast: Amy Adams is excellent in her ingenuous role as a typical Disney Princess and the rest of the cast (you'd hardly recognise Patrick Dempsey alias Cyclops/X Men) are brilliant. Would really recommend it as a film for the whole family |

| A wonderful story that will appeal to everyone. The happy merry plot of the story appealing to the younger members of the audience and the quip one liners giving adults a small chuckle to. Adult and children alike will find many comparisons with some of the Earlier Disney works. Cinderella, Snow White and sleeping Beauty to name but a few. As many of the memorable moments from these story's make a brief appearance.
The only downside I found was towards the end when Prince Edward and Nancy (Robert's girlfriend) went back to Andalasia and married. There was barely a hint that they migh like each other but then again does anything need to make sense when it is aimed a children. Especially when they are more interest in the dragons or happy ever after's.
A brilliantly done cross between animation and live action. A much better one than some I've seen and a real feel good film.
5 Star. |

| I took my little girl to watch this film at the cinema, It is Enthralling and totally amazing. I recommended it to all of my friends who took their children and loved it too.
The cast and effects are fantastic, the storyline is a little too predictable but the film overall is Fantastic!
A real girly film but boys like it too! |
