Gourt Home::Gourt :: Enchanted (2007 film)
Enchanted is a Disney film currently in production. A tentative release date is November 2, 2007. It uses both traditional animation and live-action.
Plot
A classic Disney animated fairy tale meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures' ENCHANTED. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (Amy Adams) as she is banished by an evil queen (Susan Sarandon) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (James Marsden) back home – she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?

Score and Songs
The film's score and lyrics will be done by the legendary Alan Menken, who has done a number of Walt Disney Pictures films, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
Stephen Schwartz will also be helping out with the lyrics. He's done such projects as Pocahontas and the stage productions of successful musicals Wicked and Pippin. As a minor note, he is also one of three composers to have three shows run on Broadway for 1000 plus shows.
It has been confirmed that six songs have so far been worked at, and are being continuously polished. They will be homages to the traditional style of Disney music, rather than parodies as previously reported.
Filming Style
The film will begin with animation and switch to live action. The fairy tale scenes in the film will be done in 2-D animation, as a tribute to the past Disney fairy tale films such as Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
This will be the first Disney live-action/traditional animation hybrid since 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit; but unlike Roger Rabbit, traditionally-animated characters will not share the screen with live-action characters. It is also the first theatrically released Disney American film to feature traditional animation since Pooh's Heffalump Movie.
