"Disenchanted" Review

Warning: Spoilers
They stole that plot from "Wonder Woman 1984" didn't they?

That joke aside I went in as someone who has nostalgia for "Enchanted" and I think I enjoyed it more than most people. I wasn't really digging the first 20 minutes (just felt like a typical mom/teen dramedy with enchanted characters) but once the main plot kicked in I was engaged enough. I didn't think I would like "Evil Gizelle" but I thought it worked!

Good performance from Amy Adams switching between the two personalities (Through different vocals and behavior) Commendable acting! And we know gazelle is a sweet innocent person so the threat of her changing raises the stakes quite well! It's a clever fairytale twist having a Princess become a step mother. (Honestly think they could've just kept her as both a hero and a villain without an actual antagonist) It's always great to see always great to see more 2-D animation again!

They could've done more with the "after ever after" setup besides dissatisfaction, I wish we could've seen more Edward (as I was a standout character in the first one to me) and I think there was a missed opportunity to parody more modern Disney tropes (like they did the classic tropes in the first and in this one) guess I'lI have to be satisfied with "there's always one villain, the rest is either a minion or revealed too late") Definitely not as good as the first one (I honestly would watch that one over this one) and they could've done a lot more with a sequel but it's acceptable and has some clever enough concepts!;)
