Now I know that the majority of discussion here is sci-fi but I just wanted to say that my wife and I went to see Disney's latest fantasy movie called Enchanted and it was fabulous This has to be not only one of the best Disney films in years but also one of the funniest films I have seen in a long long time. I don't want to spoil the film for anyone who goes but it is a mix of traditional 2D animation and live action. It starts out with a young maiden in the animated fantasy world who is waiting for her prince to come and give her "love's first kiss" and marry her. However, the evil stepmother of the prince is unwilling to lose her rule and tricks the young maiden into falling into the wishing well. The well leads her to our reality and from then on most of the movie is live action. It is absolutely one of the best parodies I have watched on film. It is so fun to see Disney being able to make fun of itself and we came away with big smiles and were extremely satisfied. This film is almost every bit as good as Mary Poppins or other Disney films along that line but with better special effects. 4 out of 5 stars!

I want to see this too sometime. Looks like a fun, sweet movie.
This is something, being a Disney fan I will put in my Netflx queue :)
I have been wanting to take Amy and Catherine to this one.
I just saw this movie and it is FANTASTIC!!!! Such a great story, perfect for the family. A great addition to the Disney family of movies. I really enjoyed the story. Fairly simple story but very well executed. The special effects were great. I love the main actress who played the princess Amy Adams, she was perfect in this role. Some of the best scenes were when she called upon her animal friends to help clean the house and instead of deer, rabbits and birds she gets mice, rats, penguins and cockroaches.. that was hilarious also when she breaks out into song in the middle of central park.. too funny. And I loved the nice little twist of an ending. I'll be buying this for sure when it comes out on DVD. If you want to see a fun, family friendly, slightly romantic comedy then check out this movie.. it's a must see.

On Tuesday, March 18, Walt Disney Home Entertainment will release the $310 million worldwide blockbuster Enchanted on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc.
A fairytale comes to life in this 3-time Academy Award®-nominated new Disney classic! Princess Giselle embarks on an exciting fish-out-of water adventure that takes her from her fantasy Kingdom of Andalasia to the very real world of New York City. When the beautiful Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land she finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a ''happily ever after'' basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. Although she is already promised to a perfect fairytale prince back home, she begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid and wonders, can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
The Kevin Lima-directed film stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey and Susan Sarandon.
