Disney's Disenchanted, the long-awaited sequel to the 2007 fantasy musical Enchanted starring Amy Adams, is close to being released. Enchanted was a resounding success in 2007, adapting the genre to include both live-action and traditionally animated parodies of archetypal fairytale princesses. Produced by Disney, it generally paid homage to the classic Disney Princess musicals such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White, while also satirizing their recurring tropes. With Disenchanted due in Fall, the world needs Giselle (Adams) more than ever before.
Enchanted follows Giselle, an animated, conventional princess from fictional Andalasia, who is pushed into a well by an evil sorceress. Suddenly cast into a live-action version of herself in New York City, she is found and cared for by Robert (Partick Dempsey), whom she falls in love with instead of her animated Prince Charming, Edward (James Marsden), and his young daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey). The film ends with the sorceress destroyed, Edward and Nancy (Robert's fashion-designer girlfriend, played by Idina Menzel) returning to Andalasia, and Giselle staying in New York, married to Robert, and running a fashion business. Disenchanted picks up 15 years after these events.

Over the years, there have been many rumors of an Enchanted sequel, but nothing was confirmed until Disney+ tweeted about Giselle and Amy Adams’ official return on Disney Investor Day in December 2020, revealing the official title: Disenchanted.
