enchanted

Yesterday I watched the movie Enchanted. I absolutely love that movie and it has a lot of children's literature relevance in it. The movie contains certain aspects from numerous fairy tales and children's stories, which makes the movie really good. In the beginning of the movie, there is a reference to The Little Mermaid, when Giselle puts two gems up to her eyes and they are magnified. It reminded me of what Ariel does when she looks through the gizmos and objects she recovers from land. Also, another reference to children's literature is when Giselle is talking to Robert and she asks to sleep in a hollow tree or "a house with dwarfs. I hear they're very hospitable." This references to Snow White. One interesting fact about the movie is when Giselle goes with Robert to work and she meets his secretary. What is interesting is that the actress who plays the secretary, was also the voice of Ariel in the movie The Little Mermaid. I think that is just so neat. What is also cool in the movie is the music in the movie contains typical Disney fairytale songs that reference Cinderella, Little Mermaid, and Snow White. The songs in the movie are True Love's Kiss, Happy Working Song, and How Does She Know. Each of them were stuck in my head for about two weeks after the movie premiered. If you haven't seen Enchanted you should do so soon, because it is a whole lot of laughs that you do not want to miss out on!
