Story:
Disney+ live-action animated musical fantasy comedy sequel directed by Adam Shankman. Disenchanted (2022) is set fifteen years since Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) wed, but Giselle has grown disillusioned with life in the city, so they move their growing family to the sleepy suburban community of Monroeville in search of a more fairy tale life. Unfortunately, it isn’t the quick fix she had hoped for. Suburbia has a whole new set of rules and a local queen bee, Malvina Monroe (Maya Rudolph), who makes Giselle feel more out of place than ever. Frustrated that her happily ever after hasn’t been so easy to find, she turns to the magic of Andalasia for help, accidentally transforming the entire town into a real-life fairy tale and placing her family’s future happiness in jeopardy. Now, Giselle is in a race against time to reverse the spell and determine what happily ever after truly means to her and her family.

Best Quotes
Pip: This story begins where the old one left offm in the kingdom of New York after “happily ever after”.
Chipmunk #1: After? But there is no after, after “happily ever after”.
Chipmunk #2: Yeah. You just get married, then nothing ever happens to you again.
Pip: Oh, not in this world. Over there, things would never stop happening.
Pip: Robert and Giselle had a baby. A beautiful girl named Sofia. And for one moment, Giselle truly had it all. And that’s when things began to change. First, with all the baby stuff, their castle in the sky shrunk two sizes. Then, life got so busy, it felt like a sleeping curse fell over them every single night.
Pip: It felt to Giselle that she had set out to a faraway place where she could never go.
Giselle: [to the birds and rats] I know that change can be scary, but it can also be exciting. Think of all of the wonderful new people you’re going to meet, who will love you just as much as I do. And remember, whenever you need a friend, what do we do?

Robert: Morgan, can you try and help out here?
Morgan: I am helping. I’m literally telling the entire Internet about my kidnapping. Everyone agrees it’s a tragedy.
Giselle: We really did have magic memories here, didn’t we?
Robert: We did. And we’ll have more. Trust me, if I learned anything from meeting a princess on a billboard, it’s that sometimes you just have to take a leap.
Giselle: Let’s start our new life.
Giselle: It’s all part of the adventure.
Morgan: That’s not an adventure. That’s a landfill.
Giselle: A land filled with adventure.
Giselle: I know it’s hard to start over someplace new. I did it once. Not really on purpose, but I found that you just have to look at things the right way.
Morgan: Oh, no.
Giselle: Here. I’ll show you.
Morgan: [as Giselle is about to start singing] Please, we really don’t need to sing.
Malvina: [to Giselle and Robert] Malvina Monroe. I would have sold you this house, but I deal in slightly more upscale homes.
Malvina: I weave.
Giselle: Well, that’s very nice of you.
Morgan: And a little weird.
Malvina: [to Giselle, referring to Morgan] I have one that age too. So pouty. But he’s still the apple of my eye.
Rosaleen: Of everyone’s eye.
Ruby: More like the apple of everybody’s whole face.
Giselle: Those crickets composed that song just for us to say, “Hello.” As a thank-you, we should build them a resort. I don’t think they have one of those.
'Happily ever after is more of a concept here than it is a thing.' - Nancy, 'Really? How horribly bleak.' - Edward (Disenchanted) Click To Tweet
Morgan: Can we just talk about the fact that we moved out here to get more space, and now we’re just sleeping in the same room?
Edward: Congratulations on the increasing size of your progeny.
Robert: Thank you. Thank you.
Edward: Your dwelling, are you poor now?
Nancy: Edward!
Robert: No, we’re not poor.
Giselle: [referring to their new house] It’s what they call a fixer-upper.
Edward: Ah. I see. A fixer upper! Yes. Once your peasants have dugout the moat, and added a turret, and a balcony from which you can sing. Bathed in the light of a forgiving moon. I see it now.
Robert: Okay. And on that note, I’m off.
Edward: Oh, I just assumed that, now that you are a country squire, you’d have more need of a sword.
Robert: No, still a lawyer.
Edward: Ah, tragic. How desperate you must be to truly do something.
Robert: I do a lot.
Edward: Yes, of course. A brave front is required to face a life as barren as this.
Morgan: Does anyone in Andalasia ever just say stuff?
Giselle: Not if we can help it.
Giselle: [referring to Morgan] She sometimes says one thing and means the opposite. I can never tell.
Nancy: Yeah, well, that’s teenagers for you.
Giselle: Is it sometimes easier to live in Andalasia?
Nancy: Well, I wouldn’t say easier. We have dragons and ogre rebellions.
Giselle: See, in Andalasia the hardest part of life is finding your happily ever after. Everything else seems easy. This world is very different.
Nancy: Yeah. It’s true. Happily ever after is more of a concept here than it is a thing.
Edward: Really? How horribly bleak.
Edward: Well, I say, that if this world is not to your liking, then you must change it.
Nancy: Well, honey, it’s not always that easy.
Edward: Hogwashery! If anyone can make something out of this, why, it’s our Giselle.
Sardonic Businesswoman: [to Robert] Little tip. You should tell them, “No bag, double wrapped.”
Disgruntled Businessman: And maybe leave the sword at home next time.
Sardonic Businesswoman: Don’t listen to him. You got to do you. After all, you’re riding this train over and over. And over and over. And over and over. And over and over. And then you die.
Weary Businessman: It’s just reality, man.
Morgan: I feel like a human get-well bouquet.
Giselle: Don’t be silly. You look beautiful. The flowers on your skirt bring out the rest of the flowers on your skirt.
Tyson: [referring to his mother, Malvina] I just try to ignore whatever she’s doing. She gets kind of intense.
Morgan: Yeah, well, imagine if she was made of magic and sang at the drive-through.
'It's not that I'm unhappy. It just, sometimes I wonder if time's just slipping away, and I'll be riding a train over and over and over again for the rest of my life.' - Robert (Disenchanted) Click To Tweet
Malvina: As you can see, Giselle, our town is really just one big family. And like a family, everyone has their place in it. You know? And once you’ve found where you fit, Monroeville can be whatever you wish.
Morgan: [to Giselle] Well, no one talked to me all day, so I got a lot of me-time. That was nice. Yes, that was sarcasm. My day sucked.
Giselle: As we say in Andalasia…
Morgan: “Memories are the most powerful magic of all.” I know. I’m not really sure it works the same way here.
Giselle: When is the last time that you were truly happy?
Robert: Well, it’s not that I’m unhappy. It just, sometimes I wonder if time’s just slipping away, and I’ll be riding a train over and over and over again for the rest of my life.
'Mirror, Mirror in her hand. Who is the most blatantly insecure woman, whose constant need to ask her own reflection for validation suggests that what she really needs to do is to love herself, in all the land?' - Giselle Click To Tweet
Morgan: Look, I know that you want to live in some perfect fairytale land, but we don’t. Okay? We live here, in this stupid town, and I hate it!
Robert: Morgan, if you want to be mad, you be mad at me. But do not talk to your mother like that!
Morgan: My mother? She is not my mother. She’s my stepmother. That’s all she’ll ever be.
Robert: [after Giselle wishes Monroeville into a fairytale land] Well, I’m off. It’s time for a new adventure. A chance to prove my worth and heroic fortitude only to return home to you, my family, glowing with a day’s worth of fully realized purpose.
