And, how does a fairy tale princess dress in the Big Apple.


Well, in the forest Giselle had her forest friend to help her get dressed and clean up, but whom can she call on for help in New York.


Of course, the local wildlife including those every so helpful sewer rats, pigeons and, of course, those loveable little cockroaches.


Who said you had to drive to the country to enjoy urban wildlife.


Susan Sarandon who plays Queen Narissa is awe inspiring in her stunning, queenly outfit.


From the black bustier corset top, to the metallic gill like embellishments in the gown, to that large black lace see through cape and long black gloves, Susan Sarandon really impresses as Queen Narissa.


With just a raised eyebrow and those blazing eyes, Susan Sarandon can hold an audience spellbound as she shows aspiring actresses just how powerful simple facial expressions can be.

No wonder Susan says its always fun to be bad.


For those of you who love movie trivia, be sure to watch the scene in Central Park were Giselle sings "That's How You Know".


Watch her, on a small, grassy hill with her arms stretched out behind her as the camera tilts and zooms.


Does the scene seem familiar?


Well, it an exact recreation of a similar scene in "Beauty and the Beast", which scene was based on a famous scene from "The Sound of Music" staring Julie Andrews, who by the way, just happened to be the narrator for Enchanted.

Well, before the director's cut comes out on DVD, here is the run down on the other princesses in Enchanted.


Who is the receptionist in Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey) law office?


Well, if you guessed Jodi Benson you are right.


And, who is Jodie Benson, why she was the voice of Ariel from "The Little Mermaid".





In fact, the name of the law firm is Churchill, Harline and Smith which just happens to be composed of the names of the three song writers for "Snow White"!"


And, when Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey) is watching a hotel room television one captures a brief glimpse on the television screen of Paige O'Hara the voice of Belle from "Beauty and the Beast".


So enjoy the trailer from the movie, it opens in the United States on November 21, 2007 and makes a wonderful holiday treat for the whole family.


As they say in the circus, this is a movie for children of all ages.
