Line #31 Trivia/Enchanted


1	* TheCastShowoff: Before becoming a film actress, Creator/AmyAdams worked in theatre (more specifically, dinner theatre), making her an easy fit for the singing and dancing required for this role.
2	* CelebrityVoiceActor:
3	** In the Japanese version, Prince Edward is voiced by veteran actor Hiroshi Hatanaka, Queen Narissa is played by film actress and talent Midori Hagio, Nancy Tremaine is voiced by TV and stage actress Marika Hayashi, and Morgan is played by child actress Karin Ono.
4	** In the Creator/{{ABSCBN}} Filipino dub, Giselle is voiced by popular actress Creator/KathrynBernardo.
5	* CompletelyDifferentTitle: ''Il était une fois'' ("Once Upon a Time") in French.
6	* CostumeBacklash: Creator/AmyAdams described filming the scenes with Giselle's 45-pound wedding dress as a "grueling" process.
7	* DescendedCreator: As the film's director, Kevin Lima does the voice of Pip's real world counterpart.
8	* IAmNotSpock: Creator/AmyAdams has joked that ''Enchanted'' fans are very "disenchanted" when they see her in public and she's not wearing Giselle's finery. Amy will apparently get down, put on the Giselle voice, and whisper "[[LiesToChildren I'm in disguise]]."
9	--> "It's better than me going [[BrutalHonesty 'it's not real, honey']]."
10	* IronyAsSheIsCast: Despite being a musical, renowned singer and Broadway star Creator/IdinaMenzel plays Nancy, who is from the film's "real" world and doesn't sing at all.
11	* NoDubForYou: Until 2022, this was the case in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The film was originally not dubbed into Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Finnish, with Iceland being the only Nordic country to receive the movie dubbed into its national language; the other Nordic countries got the movie in English with local subtitles. In 2022 however (the same year the sequel was released), this changed as new dubbings in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish officially debuted exclusively on Creator/DisneyPlus.
12	* NonSingingVoice:
13	** The troll is voiced by Creator/FredTatasciore, but his [[MediaNotes/VoiceTypes basso profundo]] singing voice during "True Love's Kiss" is provided by singer Wilbur Pauley.
14	** In the Italian dub, Creator/AmyAdams and Creator/JamesMarsden's regular voice actors, Creator/IlariaLatini and Francesco Bulckaen, respectively provided Gisella and Prince Edward's speaking voices. Their singing voices were respectively provided by singers Giulia Ottonello and Luca Velletri.
15	* PlayingAgainstType:
16	** Early in her career, Creator/AmyAdams usually played villains or {{Alpha Bitch}}es, so Giselle was against type for her at the time, although the success of the movie meant this kind of role subsequently became her new type for a while.
17	** Creator/JamesMarsden made a career of playing the straight-laced StraightMan in action films and rom coms. This and ''Film/{{Hairspray\|2007}}'' (also released in 2007) showed off his goofily disarming charm, nice comic timing, and a Broadway-caliber voice. Who knew?
18	** Creator/IdinaMenzel to a musical degree. She is more well-known for Broadway musicals but does not sing in the movie. (A song was originally intended for her and Creator/JamesMarsden at the end, but was never used.) She said in an interview she was flattered to be "hired as an actress."
19	* RealLifeRelative: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Creator/ArturoMercado voiced Pip in the real world and his ex-wife Magdalena Leonel voiced Narissa.
20	* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Disney bought an early version of the script in 1997. Kevin Lima had taken multiple stabs at getting the director's chair, but was repeatedly turned down for his version being "too dark." Additionally, the first version of the script was written by Bill Kelly. Then it was rewritten by Rita Hsiao, followed by Todd Alcott. [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=]]] were hired to rewrite the script once again, but that fell through, and finally, the script was rewritten by Kelly. Reportedly, Hsiao has contributed to the screenplay for the sequel.
21	* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Because Giselle's animated design is undeniably [[InkSuitActor based off]] Creator/AmyAdams, Disney would have to pay for lifelong rights to use her likeness in merchandising and other media. This is why, despite being just as well-known, Giselle has never been included in the official Disney princess lineup.
22	* StarMakingRole: While she first got Hollywood's notice in her role opposite Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio in ''Film/CatchMeIfYouCan'' and later got an Oscar nomination for her performance in ''Film/JuneBug'', it was this film which turned Creator/AmyAdams into an instant star.
23	* ThrowItIn:
24	** The novelization of the film provides some insight that makes it easier to determine what lines were ad-libbed. It follows pretty much the entire script of the movie and even some of the deleted scenes, so the comic material not included was most likely ad-libbed. This includes a couple of the more risque lines, such as Nancy's comment about Robert and Giselle having some "grown-up girl bonding time" and Morgan's comment that "Boys are only after one thing", but nobody will tell her what it is. Morgan's "Kick what?" response to Nancy's line "Hey, girl, you ready to kick it?" isn't in the novel, nor is Edward's "I don't know what melodramatic means." And then there's this amusing exchange between Robert and Morgan when they're trying to shoo away the vermin from Giselle's "Happy Working Song":
25	--->'''Morgan:''' ''(holding up two rats)'' What do I do with them?\
26	'''Robert:''' Get them outside! Get rid of them! Get rid of them!\
27	'''Morgan:''' Put them back?\
28	'''Robert:''' Put them outside! Don't put them ''back!''
29	** A rare animated example: There's a sequence in the animated opening where Giselle looks back and waves at the birds who drop the tiara on her head. This was originally not part of the scene and only came to fruition when Amy Adams did it while going through the sequence practically for animated reference. The animators thought it was such a small yet perfect Franchise/DisneyPrincess gesture that it was inserted in.
30	** The ParasolOfPrettiness Giselle holds in the "That's How You Know" sequence was Creator/AmyAdams's idea--she had brought it to the set because it was a bright and hot that day. The director loved it.
31	** The tourists pointing and laughing at Edward on the bus weren't extras, but real tourists.
32	* TwoVoicesOneCharacter: Creator/JeffBennett voices Pip's Andalasian counterpart, while director Kevin Lima voices his real world counterpart.
33	* {{Typecasting}}: As noted above, Creator/JamesMarsden is PlayingAgainstType by being a LargeHam singing KnightInShiningArmor... but at the same time he's still the RomanticFalseLead and DisposableFiance. Granted, this film is more merciful to him concerning these tropes than a lot of his other works.
34	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
35	** ''Enchanted'' was first written as an R-rated satire back in the 90s, when the Disney Renaissance was in full-swing. The film was also under the Creator/TouchstonePictures banner because it was too mature for the Walt Disney Picture banner. The first draft had Giselle getting mistaken for a stripper when she arrives in New York. Presumably after ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' became famous as the TakeThat to Disney films, the script was reworked to become a more AffectionateParody.
36	** Giselle was supposed to become an official Franchise/DisneyPrincess, but they backed out of the idea upon realizing that they would have to secure a lifetime deal with Creator/AmyAdams to use her likeness. She was also originally envisioned as a blonde, but they decided that red hair would work better. Ironic because Adams is a natural blonde, but dyes her hair red.
