Hurrah, I finally got to see Enchanted.

I really enjoyed it. Sure, it was fairly schmaltzy in places, but after years of that sterile, would-be hip irony that became fashionable with the now-exhausted Shrek franchise, this itself came as quite a welcome little breath of fresh oxygen. I did have a couple of nitpicks. I for one would like to have seen them do a bit more with Queen Narissa in her live action, human form (because Susan Sarandon rules), and I don't think that the movie would have been any worse for leaving out that scene in which the chipmunk defecates (particularly seeing how Alvin and the Chipmunks already seems intent on providing the Xmas audiences with more than their fair share of said forest rodent bodily function gags

).

But nah, as I said this was by and large a lovely little film, and certainly a reason to feel a lot more optimistic about Disney's future than we could three or four years ago. Oh, and by the way, I seemed to be the only one in the audience who was genuinely and wholly enchanted by that scene in which Giselle cleans up the apartment with the assistence of those various adorable rats and roaches. How very typical.
