was in it!) It was a great movie! It poked fun at Disney stereotypes and also had a cute, heartwarming story. I went to see it with some friends and one guy just started groaning as soon as the first song started. But he was smiling when we left the theater so I guess he got over the musical aspect of it. Oh, and I just found out that small roles were played by the ladies who were the voices for the animated Ariel, Belle, and Pocahontas. I grew up watching Disney princess movies and
found Enchanted to be just as much fun. Plus, Dr. McDreamy. *sigh*The other movie that I saw this weekend was The Golden Compass. It's been awhile since I read the books so I wasn't as upset about scenes left out as other people I've talked to. I thought the daemons were done really well - except why didn't anyone else's daemon talk? Didn't they talk in the books? Or am I remembering incorrectly? Nicole Kidman was a great pick for Ms. Coulter. She just oozed evilness - it was wonderful. The ending left a lot to be desired though and I can't find any information about filming for The Subtle Knife. It would make a good movie trilogy but they'd better hurry or Lyra will be too old.

I would like to see Enchanted myself. I've been hearing such good things about it and the previews look good. I also grew up on Disney and still enjoy watching Disney movies from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind seeing The Golden Compass, too, but I'd kind of like to read the books first before seeing the movie.
I *loved* Enchanted. My younger brother only guesses he liked it though.
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Golden Compass, too. Fortunately, I didn't finish rereading the book, so the only thing that annoyed me was the ending.
I'm looking forward to The Golden Compass, but I hadn't even heard of Enchanted. Sounds cute!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen The Golden Compass yet, but I suspect that I love the book too much to ever be completely satisfied with a movie. I will do my best to enjoy it for the "eye candy", though. I heard that they ended it a few chapters earlier to avoid ending on a negative note, and apparently the making of the other two movies will depend on how well this one does. I do hope they make them!
ReplyDeletePS: I wanted to let you know that you won my Cornelia Funke giveaway! Head over to my blog for details.
I'm also really looking forward to Inkheart. I'm not too sure how I feel about Brendan Fraser as the dad though. I just can't picture it.
