Giselle: Oh, well, I wouldn`t worry about Pip. He is very brave. I remember this one time, when the poor wolf was being chased by Little Red Riding Hood around his grandmother`s house, and she had an axe... oh, and if Pip hadn`t been walking by to help I don`t know what would`ve happened!

[greeting Robert at the King`s and Queen`s Ball]
Giselle: I`m surprised. You said you couldn`t dance.
Robert: I said I didn`t. I never said I couldn`t.
Giselle: [after Robert knocks on the bathroom door] Hello?
Robert: Okay, you know what? You gotta go. Look, I don`t know what your deal is, if you`re waiting around for Prince Charming or you`re just...?
Giselle: Prince Edward.
Robert: Whatever. Look, I`ll get you to a bus, a train, a plane, a whatever, then, that`s it. After that, I can`t... I can`t get involved after that.
[Giselle emerges from the bathroom in a bright blue dress]
Robert: Where did you get that?

Robert: *You made a dress out of my curtains*?
Giselle: Oh, you are unhappy!
[first lines]
Narrator: Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom known as Andalasia, there lived an evil queen. Selfish and cruel, she lived in fear that one day her stepson would marry and she would lose her throne forever. And so she did all in her power to prevent the prince from ever meeting the one special maiden with whom he would share true love`s kiss.
[last lines]
Narrator: And so, they all lived happily ever after.
[talking about Giselle]
Sam: She has no driver`s license, no passport, I can`t even find this place she comes from.
Robert: What place?
Sam: Andalusia.
Robert: Andalasia.
Sam: Whatever. I`ve called every travel agent. I`m not sure if it`s a country or a city.
Robert: It can`t be a state.
[Both watch Giselle acting strangely]
Sam: More like a state of mind. She told me it`s just beyond the meadows of joy and the valley of contentment. What is that all about?
Phoebe Banks: Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them?
Phoebe Banks, Ethan Banks: [looking into one another`s eyes] No.
Robert: Oh my.
Giselle: Oh my. He`s here!
Robert: Apparently.
Giselle: Oh my. Oh my goodness. How do I look?
Robert: Slightly stunned.
Giselle: No, I mean, how do I look?
[mean her appearance]
Robert: You look... beautiful.
Robert: Now she thinks that you and I...
Giselle: Kissed?
Robert: Yeah, something like that.
Robert: So, what`s the deal with this prince of yours? How long you been together?
Giselle: [wistfully] Oh, about a day.
Robert: You mean it feels like a day because you`re so in love.
Giselle: No, it`s been a day.
Robert: You`re kidding me. A day? One day?
Giselle: Yes.
[wistful again]
Giselle: And tomorrow it will be two days.
Robert: You`re joking.
Giselle: No. I`m not.
Robert: Yeah, you are.
Giselle: But I`m not.
Robert: You`re gonna marry somebody after a day? Because you fell in love with him?
Giselle: Yes.
[grins]
Giselle: Yes!
Robert: [laughs as she drags him away]
Giselle: What about you? How long have you known your Nancy?
Robert: Uh, five years.
Giselle: And you haven`t proposed?
Robert: Well, no, I...
Giselle: Well no wonder she`s angry.
Robert: Well...
Robert: You know most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date.
Giselle: Date?
Robert: Yeah, you know. Date.
[Giselle shakes her head not understanding]
Robert: You go someplace special, like a restaurant, or a movie, or museum, or you just hang out and you talk.
Giselle: What do you talk about?
Robert: About each other. About yourself. About your interests, your likes your dislikes, you talk.
[both laugh]
Giselle: Oh, you have such strange ideas about love.
Robert: Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married.
Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after.
Robert: Forget about happily ever after, it doesn`t exist.
Nancy Tremaine: [gushing happily] Usually you just send an email with those digital flowers. These are exquisite. Where do you find live doves in New York?
Robert: [off Giselle`s look] What?
Giselle: This is a very nice place.
Robert: Yeah?
Giselle: And we`re eating dinner.
Robert: Yeah.
Giselle: [happily] This is a date!
Robert: Yeah!
[happy then realizing his mistake]
Robert: No! No. No, no, no, no. We`re just, um, we`re just friends.
Robert: [after talking on the phone] It was Nancy. She`s a lot like the woman in your book. Sweetie... I`m gonna ask her to marry me.
Morgan Philip: What?
Robert: Ye, you like her, don`t you? We all get along, we have a good time together.
Morgan Philip: Where`s she going to live?
Robert: She`s gonna live with us
Morgan Philip: Do I have to give up my bedroom?
Robert: No, you don`t have to give up your bedroom. No. Come on, It`s gonna be great. I promise. It`s not like she`s gonna try and be your mother.
Morgan Philip: You mean stepmother.
Robert: She`s gonna be a nice stepmother. She`s gonna take you to school tomorrow, just you and her, for some grown-up girl-bonding time.
Morgan Philip: I`m only six.
Robert: You won`t always be.
Prince Edward: [singing] Yes, there`s a maid somewhere I`ve never met/ Who was made...
Giselle: [smiles, realizes she wasn`t paying attention to what he was singing]
Prince Edward: [prompting] ... who was made...
[pauses, and then prompts in a soprano]
Prince Edward: ... to finish...
Giselle: What`s wrong?
Prince Edward: You`re not singing.
Giselle: Oh. Oh, no I`m not. Well, I was just thinking.
Prince Edward: [perplexed] Think-ing...?
Morgan Philip: But I think she might be a real princess!
Robert Philip: Morgan honey, just because she has on a funny dress doesn`t mean she`s a princess. She`s a seriously confused woman who`s fallen into our laps.
[repeated line]
Queen Narissa: Speciosus, formosus, praeclarus!
Nancy Tremaine: Kiss her, Robert! It`s okay.
Queen Narissa: [after being accused of poisoning Giselle] Why would I ever align myself with that buffoon? I mean, think about it. Why...?
Prince Edward: Silence! You lying, murderous wretch! When we return home, Andalasia shall know of your treachery. Your days as queen will be over!
Queen Narissa: Take my crown? Don`t you think that`s a bit melodramatic, dear?
Prince Edward: I don`t know what "melodramatic" means, but you`ll be removed from the throne, Narissa. I will see to it.
Queen Narissa: We`re coming to the end of our story now. Are you at the edge of your seat, Giselle? Just dying to know how it ends? How about this, and they all lived happily ever after? Well, at least I did.
Giselle: I was just thinking.
Prince Edward: Think-ing?
Giselle: Before we leave, there`s one thing I would love to do.
Prince Edward: Well, name it my love, and it is done.
Giselle: I want to go on a date.
Prince Edward: A date!
Prince Edward: What`s a date?
Trivia
In one scene, Prince Edward rides a bus through Times Square. In the background a large poster can be seen advertising the musical play "Wicked," which originally featured Idina Menzel, who plays Nancy in "Enchanted," in the starring role. Furthermore, Stephen Schwartz, who was the lyricist for "Enchanted," was both the composer and lyricist for "Wicked."
#
# The bus driver`s hair is shaped like Mickey Mouse`s ears, as well as the green pepper slices on the pizza Robert and Giselle are served at the Bella Notte restaurant.
When Prince Edward searches Robert`s building for Giselle, one of the doors he knocks on is for apartment 714, which is the area code for Orange County, where the original Disneyland park is located.
In the scene where Prince Edward is standing on top of a moving bus, billboards for Hairspray (the Broadway Production) and Superman Returns (2006) are visible. James Marsden, who plays Prince Edward, stars in Superman Returns, and the movie, Hairspray (2007), based off the Broadway Production.
When Giselle first appears in New York, we see a poster for the musical `Wicked`, which originally starred the actress/singer Idina Menzel, who plays Nancy in `Enchanted`. Later in the film, when an item is sent flying into the large coca cola advert, to the left of it we see a poster for the musical `Rent`, which also originally starred Menzel.
In the scene where Edward is on top of the bus, the people riding on tour buses next to him laughing and pointing at him weren`t extras, but actual real tourists.
Director Cameo: [Kevin Lima] as "Pip in New York".
The actresses who provided the voices for three previous animated Disney princesses make appearances in the film: Jodi Benson (‘Ariel’ in The Little Mermaid (1989)), Paige O`Hara (‘Belle’ in Beauty and the Beast (1991)), and Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas (1995)). Also, Julie Andrews, who starred as the title character in Disney`s live-action Mary Poppins (1964), provides her voice here as the Narrator.
#
# Cathleen Trigg`s character`s name is Mary Ilene Caselotti. This is a tribute to Mary Costa, the voice of Disney`s Sleeping Beauty (1959), Ilene Woods, who did the voice of Disney`s Cinderella (1950), and Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Disney`s first princess, Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
The law firm where Robert works is Churchill, Harline and Smith, the surnames of the songwriters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
#
# This is the second Disney film to switch aspect ratios, the first being Brother Bear (2003). Like `Brother Bear`, the film starts in a 1.75:1 aspect ratio when in animated Andalasia, and then switches to the CinemaScope ratio of 2.35:1 when Giselle becomes a live-action character.
Release prints were delivered to theaters with the fake title `Radio`.
GOOFY HOLLER: When the troll is tossed through the air by the tree Giselle falls from.
# Two of the elderly men dancers appeared in West Side Story (1961) together.
#
# Edmund Lyndeck, who plays the derelict old man, has a fairy tale connection. He played Cinderella`s Father in the original cast of ‘Into the Woods’ on Broadway.
Giselle was originally supposed to be blonde, but in time they figured that red hair worked better.
The wedding dress that Giselle wore weighed 45 pounds. A stunt double taught Amy Adams how to move in the dress.
`Weird Al` Yankovic was considered to write the songs for the movie.
Over 300 actresses auditioned for the role of Giselle. Amy Adams was number 275.
#
The restaurant that Robert and Giselle eat at (Bella Notte) is named after a song in Lady and the Tramp (1955).
A number of non-singers make their singing debuts in this film, including Patrick Dempsey. The only main character who does not sing is Nancy, played by actress Idina Menzel - who has two Tony award nominations and one win for Broadway musical singing roles.
In the scene where Robert has to take Giselle to his work place, she is looking at the fish and the song "Part of your World" from The Little Mermaid (1989) is playing.
#
# When Prince Edward starts watching the TV in his hotel room, the first program has music that sounds almost exactly like the music from Beauty and the Beast (1991). When he changes the channel, we hear the music from a scene in Dumbo (1941).
SPOILER: WILHELM SCREAM: During Narissa`s transformation near the end of the film, a man is flung across the room by the flames and screams.
SPOILER: At the beginning, Giselle is creating a mannequin of her `true love`. The outfit it is wearing is never worn by the prince - but it is worn by Robert at the ball, near the end of the film.
