disenchantedthe sequel to Nice to meet you (2017), begins by remembering the story of Giselle that was told in the last film about this princess played by Amy Adams. in the style of classic Disney animated moviesin this sequel they begin to recap what Princess Giselle experienced when she moved to New York, met the love of her life, Robert and lived a fairy tale story in such a beautiful city until motherhood, the entrance to adolescence of his daughter Rogan, and the lack of new adventures, ended up disintegrating the family.
Disenchanted with romantic love
The great start of this sequel directed by Adam Shankman reveals a strong message from the House of Mouse to all lovers of princess, animated or even action-adventure movies: Disney retains the ability to tell old narratives and create stories with the exact visual elements to seduce us as much as they did in our childhood.
In disenchanted Disney dares to mock the narratives that the company once buried in the minds of people around the world. They want to break with that and through this conventional animation, we see how Giselle, unlike the old Disney princesses, experiences the disenchantment of romantic love: being a mother exhausts her, daily coexistence causes monotony in her marriage and her relationship with her daughter transforms as she grows up.
Despite this, Amy Adams is in charge of giving her character the magic that she achieved in 2017. Excessively exaggerated as the princess that she is, Giselle is very sensitive to her Rogan’s rejections, she becomes ridiculously happy and does not put any kind of of limit. From her She is submissive until her thirst for revenge takes over her.
Although Amy Adams’s performance is charming and manages to transform from the charming Giselle to Rogan’s evil stepmother, it is inevitable to feel a bit repetitive with her character as Wanda, in a Disney+ series as well.
One of the most magical musicals on Disney+
It is true that musicals hardly have a good acceptance by a wide audience if it is not spectacular. And when it comes to shows, Disney is king. Although movies like Coconut either Frozen They are not directly related to the genre regularly when talking about it, they are also part of and have been one of Disney’s biggest hits.
Probably one of the main reasons why these two films are not usually associated with a musical is because of the way the songs and melodies are inserted throughout the story. It doesn’t feel like a pause. On the contrary, continuity is not lost. Although it doesn’t happen exactly the same way in disenchanted -since the narrative of the story is interrupted in certain scenes-, the dynamism that they added with an extraordinary animation of objects and animals, makes the musical scenes something extremely entertaining.
enchantingly colorful
Disney is magically colorful, but now Disenchanted is among the most beautiful because of the natural colors that always surround Princess Giselle. Whereas, when it comes to the fantastic world, she has some extraordinary creative stitches in various scenes of the movie. One of them is the personality of one of the fruits of the forest: she has an extremely angry dragon.
Although after the enormous surprise with which we are introduced to the story of Giselle, there is a brief slip in the rhythm of the story -since the less original and predictable moments happen with respect to Rogan’s adolescence- it is a film worthy of being nominated Oscars in many categories. Even more than the first film: the production and costumes are superior this time, not counting the spectacular and natural locations.
