Enchanted is a 2007 American fantasy-musical film, produced and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures in association with Barry Sonnenfeld and Josephson Entertainment. Written by Bill Kelly and directed by Kevin Lima, the film stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey, and Susan Sarandon. The plot focuses on Giselle, an archetypal Disney Princess, who is forced from her traditional animated world of Andalasia into the live-action world of New York City.
The film is both an homage to, and a self-parody of, conventional Walt Disney Animated Classics, making numerous references to Disney's past and future works through the combination of live action filmmaking, traditional animation and computer-generated imagery. It heralds the return of traditional animation to a Disney feature film after the company's decision to move entirely to computer animation in 2004. Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who had written songs for previous Disney films, produced the songs of Enchanted, with Menken also composing its score.
Living is a dream
When you make it seem enchanted
Lovers take for granted
All the world's aglow, they ought to know
When you touch a star
Then you really are enchanted
Find a seed and plant it
Love will make it grow
It's really grand when you stand
Hand in hand with your lover
And thrill to the wonders of night
And days, too will amaze you
And soon you'll discover
Your dreams run to dreams
In continuous flight
Love is ecstasy
It's divine to be enchanted
When your dreams are slanted
Through a lover's eyes
It's really grand when you stand
Hand in hand with your lover
And thrill to the wonders of night
And days too will amaze you
And soon you'll discover
Your dreams run to dreams
In continuous flight
Love is ecstasy
It's divine to be enchanted
When your dreams are slanted
