The movie Disenchanted brings back Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey in the continuing story

of a cartoon princess making a life in the real world.

A follow-up to 2007's Enchanted, it has more songs, more gags, and more of the conflicts

between fairy tale life and reality that animated, so to speak, the original.

I'm Linda Holmes and today we're talking about Disenchanted on Pop Culture Happy Hour

from NPR.

Joining us today is NPR contributor Serena Torres.

Hi Serena.

Hey Linda.

Enchanted which came out in 2007 was the story of Giselle, who lived in a cartoon world

as a cartoon princess but owing to some various shenanigans she found herself abruptly

in the very real New York City.

She was played by Amy Adams, she sang and danced with her animal friends just like any Disney

princess and she even found a prince.

His name was Robert, he was played by Patrick Dempsey and he was a regular New Yorker and

single dad who took a while to get used to this very unusual woman but could ultimately

not help falling in love with her.

Obviously, now we find Giselle and Robert moving to the suburbs, gasp with their daughter

Morgan played by Gabriella Baltecino, who's now a moody teenager.

Giselle encounters a new kind of evil queen, Melvina, the neighborhood mom played by Maya

Rudolph who looks down on this newcomer and her, shall we say, strange ways.

There are more songs once again by Alan Manken and Stephen Schwartz and James Marsden and
