Princess Giselle (Adams) is tricked by wicked Queen Narissa (Sarandon) into falling through a portal which takes her from her fairytale land to the real world where she meets Robert Philip (Dempsey) a handsome lawyer who soon finds himself attracted to Giselle and her strange ways. Meanwhile the charming Prince Edward (Marsden) travels into the real world in the hope of rescuing his future princess.

I really enjoyed this movie, finding it both appealing to adults and children alike. The opening animation is wonderful and it’s sad to think that Disney don’t animate like this anymore, and the acting by Adams and Marsden is just campy enough to work without going too over the top.
