Enchanted

Enchanted is a movie that puts a twist on our classic fairy tails. The princess is supposed to marry the prince until the wicked step-mother pushes her into the well where she ends up in New York City. While watching the movie, I noticed that there are a lot of things that tie back to the fairy tales. First of all, the princess and prince are obviously in just about every fairy tale. But we have the wicked step mother in this movie. She is the step mother of the prince and she plots to keep her prince from marrying the princess so she gets to keep the thrown.
Like in snow white, we have the evil step mother turning into an ugly old lady to defeat the princess. The first sign of her is at the beginning when she pushes the princess into the well and sends her to New York. Then we have three poison apples she uses to try to destroy her. The first one is given to the princess has a candy apple, but she throws it and never eats it. The second one is given to her as an apple martini, but the cute little chipmunk knocks it over. Then towards the end, when the wicked step mother comes to New York, she turns herself into an ugly old lady and she gets the princess to eat the last poisoned apple. The princess will die if she doesn’t get true love’s kiss by midnight. Then the prince from the fairy tale world kisses her and doesn’t wake her up; however, when her “prince” from New York kisses her she wakes up and lives.
There is also the “slaying of the dragon” in this movie like there is any many fairy tales. It just so happens to be that slayed dragon is a bus in New York City!
I really liked this movie and the more I watch it the more I see things from the classic fairy tales. My favorite part thing from the movie is the chipmunk! He is so adorably funny! What I find funny is how when they are in the park in New York, everyone knows the dance and there is like eight couples getting married in the park at that very time. I laughed just about the whole time; it is a very good movie!
