In the fifteen years since Enchanted exploded at the box office and propelled Amy Adams to fame, three things have occurred. Adams has received five additional Academy Award nominations, the theatrical market has become so polarized that it is now incompatible with similar mid-budget films, and the target audience for the sequel has unexpectedly changed from you to your children. Which makes sense given that Disenchanted, unlike Enchanted, is more of a natural continuation of what happens "after happily ever after" than it is a movie that deconstructs fairytales.More than anything else, though, it's a movie about parenting, which could either be the cutest example of self-awareness you could have imagined for it or a deeply sinister attempt by Disney to entice much younger audiences as well as the original's fans back to the magical kingdom of Andalasia. After the exciting events of the first movie, Giselle (Adams), who resembles a princess, settled into a domestic life with her husband Robert (Patrick Dempsey), but is now experiencing a mid-life crisis. She is losing her ability to see the magic in every ordinary moment, and her relationship with her stepdaughter Morgan is deteriorating by the day.We've seen enough Pixar films at this point to know that emotional weight and a joyful mood don't have to be antagonistic. Disenchanted runs for two hours, which is definitely too long for adults, let alone kids who would rather dance to Idina Menzel's songs on Reels than enjoy them here. Adams is given an entire LP's worth of brand-new songs to get her teeth into, and she excels at it, but Menzel steals the show with the attention-getting song "Love Power." Because it's such an earworm, the movie brings her back to sing it during the closing credits.
