History Trivia / Enchanted

** The troll is voiced by Creator/FredTatasciore, but his BassoProfundo singing voice during "True Love's Kiss" is provided by singer Wilbur Pauley.

* TheCastShowoff: Before becoming a film actress, Amy Adams worked in theatre (more specifically, dinner theatre), making her an easy fit for the singing and dancing required for this role.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: 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.

* CostumeBacklash: Amy Adams described filming the scenes with Giselle's 45-pound wedding dress as a "grueling" process.
* IAmNotSpock: Amy Adams 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]]."

** Early in her career, Amy Adams 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.
** James Marsden 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?
** Idina Menzel 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 James Marsden at the end, but was never used.) She said in an interview she was flattered to be "hired as an actress."

** The ParasolOfPrettiness Giselle holds in the "That's How You Know" sequence was Amy Adams's idea--she had brought it to the set because it was a bright and hot that day. The director loved it.

* {{Typecasting}}: As noted above, James Marsden 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.

** Several different directors were in line to direct the movie before Disney ended up with Kevin Lima. First, there was Rob Marshall who withdrew due to creative differences between him and the producers. In 2001, John Turtletaub was set to direct but ended up directing the ''Film/NationalTreasure'' movies for Disney instead. Lastly, before Kevin Lima, there was Adam Shankman who was set to direct with a script that had been rewritten by Bob Schooley and Mark [=McCorkle=] (who had been working for Disney on ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''). Shankman would end up directing the sequel, ''Disenchanted''.

** ''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 ''{{WesternAnimation/Shrek}}'' became famous as the TakeThat to Disney films, the script was reworked to become a more AffectionateParody.

* RealLifeRelative: In the Latin American Spanish dub, Creator/Arturo Mercado voiced Pip in the real world and his ex-wife Magdalena Leonel voiced Narissa.

** 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":

* 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, this changed as new dubbings in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish officially debuted exclusively on Creator/DisneyPlus.

* CreatorBacklash: Zig-zagged with Amy Adams. Whilst Adams insists she has fond memories of working on the rest of the movie, she described filming the scenes with Giselle's 45-pound wedding dress as a "grueling" process.

* NamesTheSame: Queen Narissa. Well, almost the same, as another [[ComicBook/{{WITCH}} Disney villain]].

* {{Typecasting}}: As noted on the main page, James Marsden 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.

* CaliforniaDoubling: The sequel, ''Disenchanted'', will be set in upstate New York, but filming will take place in Dublin, Ireland.

* DevelopmentHell: A sequel with the working title ''Disenchanted'' was floated several times since the release of the first movie, but was stuck in hell with no sign of a script or premise for over a decade. In March 2020, Alan Menken mentioned the script was far enough that he had begun composing songs for the film. The sequel was made official in December of that year at the Disney Investor Day Meeting, when it was announced that the film would be made for Creator/DisneyPlus with Adams once again returning.

* TheOtherDarrin: Since Rachel Covey has aged up, and most likely moved away from acting, newcomer Gabriella Baldacchino will replace her in the role of Morgan.

** The troll is voiced by Creator/FredTatasciore, but his basso profundo singing voice during "True Love's Kiss" is provided by singer Wilbur Pauley.

** In the Italian dub, Creator/AmyAdams and Creator/JamesMarsden's regular voice actors, Ilaria Latini 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.

* 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 Bill Kelly.
