Enchanted serves up all things classic Disney: a storybook fairy tale about a naive young girl, her helpful forest friends, the brave young prince that comes to find her, and an evil witch turned crone who's out to get her. There's singing, and magic, and falling in love. And it's rendered in 2D hand-drawn animation ... for the first 10 minutes or so.

In the fairy tale land of Andalasia, helpful forest creatures gather around the beautiful young Giselle, who sings her days away awaiting the arrival of her one true love. One day, while battling a troll, the brave and handsome Prince Edward hears the sound of a beautiful singing voice, which leads him to Giselle's home. The two fall instantly in love and plan to marry the following day. When bride-to-be Giselle arrives at the castle the next day, she's stopped by the prince's wicked stepmother Queen Narissa, disguised as an old hag. Giselle naively follows the hag, who leads her to then pushes her down a magic well to a place where there are no "happily ever afters."...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
