Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened
princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York
City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed
by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist
Stephen Schwartz. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon
world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes
punctuate every interaction. Though Princess Giselle is currently engaged to be
married to the handsome Prince Edward (James Marsden), her fate takes a turn for
the worse when the villainous Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon) banishes her to the
unforgiving metropolis of New York City. As the cruelty of the big city soon
begins to wear down the fairy-tale exterior of the once carefree princess, the
frightened Giselle soon finds herself falling for a friendly but flawed divorce
lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) whose kind compassion has helped her to survive in this
strange and dangerous new world. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
