The beautiful princess Giselle is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land and 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. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
Sample Discussion Guide Questions:
Enchanted draws inspiration from many of the fairy tales we have all watched on screen and read in books for years. What are some of these fairy tale features that you noticed? Example: Slipper left at ball — like in Cinderella!
When Giselle found herself in New York City she was terrified and confused. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt lost and scared (or maybe just out of place) just as Giselle did? Did anyone help you, like Robert and Morgan helped Giselle?
