Giselle is a fictional character from Disney's fantasy film Enchanted (2007) and its sequel Disenchanted (2022). Both portrayed and voiced by American actress Amy Adams, the character first appears in Enchanted as a young woman from the animated kingdom of Andalasia, whose plans to marry a prince are thwarted when an evil queen banishes her to New York City.

Created by screenwriter Bill Kelly and director Kevin Lima, Giselle is both a parody of and homage to classic Disney princess characters, specifically borrowing inspiration from Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel. Approximately 300 actresses auditioned for the role. Although Lima had always wanted to cast an unknown performer, Disney executives were hesitant to hire Adams due to her relatively obscurity at the time, but her audition convinced them otherwise. Giselle's animated sequences were supervised by veteran Disney animator James Baxter, who referenced live-action footage of Adams to ensure the character was a cohesive combination of both Adams and the classic Disney princess aesthetic.

Adams was widely praised for her performance, which is credited with establishing her as a bankable actress in Hollywood. Some publications credit the character with reviving Disney's princess films. Disney had planned on inducting Giselle into the Disney Princess lineup, but canceled this because they did not agree to pay Adams lifetime royalties for using her image.

Role

Giselle (Amy Adams), a young woman from the animated kingdom of Andalasia, fantasizes about marrying her true love. She is rescued from a troll by Prince Edward (James Marsden), who happens to be troll hunting nearby. The pair quickly falls in love and decides to marry right away,[1] but their plans are jeopardized by Edward's stepmother, Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon). Viewing Giselle as a threat to her throne, Narissa pushes her down a magic well,[2] inadvertently transporting her to contemporary Manhattan, New York City.[3] Disoriented and homeless in this unfamiliar world, Giselle meets Robert (Patrick Dempsey), a disillusioned divorce lawyer and single father to his daughter, Morgan (Rachel Covey).[4] Reluctantly, Robert allows Giselle to stay in their apartment, causing tension in his relationship with his fiancé, Nancy (Idina Menzel).

As Giselle navigates the complexities of New York, Edward pursues her, determined to bring her back to Andalasia. Meanwhile, Queen Narissa's loyal henchman, Nathaniel (Timothy Spall), plots to sabotage Edward's mission by poisoning Giselle.[4] As Giselle spends more time with Robert, she begins to develop feelings for him, despite her previous devotion to Edward. When Edward finally locates Giselle, she pleads for one more day in New York and requests his presence at The King and Queen's Ball. During the ball, Giselle shares a romantic dance with Robert, but their moment is interrupted by Narissa, who disguises herself as an old woman. Narissa offers Giselle a magic apple, promising that it will erase all memories of her time in New York and allow her to move on with Edward. However, the apple poisons her and Giselle falls into a deep sleep.

Edward and Nathaniel intervene before Narissa can drag Giselle away. Robert determines the spell can only be broken by true love's kiss. Edward kisses Giselle but she remains unconscious, and he quickly realizes Giselle's true love must be Robert instead.[5] With Edward and Nancy's blessing, Robert kisses Giselle and she is revived. Enraged, Narissa transforms herself into a ferocious dragon and kidnaps Robert. Giselle pursues them to the top of the Chrysler Building, where she catches Robert as Narissa falls to her death. In the end, Giselle chooses to stay in New York with Robert and Morgan, and launches her own princess-themed clothing line called "Andalasia Fashions",[6][7] while Edward returns to Andalasia with Nancy, where they marry each other.

Development

Creation

In an original draft of the story, the film's heroine asks to be sent to the real world to escape the advances of a "Prince Charming" character in whom she is not romantically interested in.[8] When Disney acquired the original script for Enchanted, the film had been intended for a much older audience.[9] Screenwriter Bill Kelly had written a scene in which Giselle is mistaken for a stripper upon arriving in New York's red-light district.[10] She is hired for a bachelor party, whose attendees become angry with her once she refuses to strip,[11] prompting Robert to cancel the party and rescue her.[10] Executive producer Doug Short claims the bachelor party was not abandoned exclusively because of its mature tone, but rather the removal Robert's friends naturally allowed the story to prioritize Giselle and Robert's relationship.[10] This idea was ultimately replaced with Giselle hanging from a castle-shaped billboard, where she meets Robert for the first time.[10]

Short said the hardest part of developing Giselle as a character was establishing a balance between her humorous antics and relatability, without simply making her a "fool" or sacrificing her happy personality during her evolution.[10] Because she serves as a parody of and homage to classic Disney princess tropes,[12] the filmmakers borrowed inspiration from several Disney princesses, with director Kevin Lima describing Giselle as "80% Snow White" with traits of Cinderella and Aurora, combined with Ariel's spunk.[13] Caroline Siede of The A.V. Club observed that the first three lend themselves easier to parody as "the least progressive Disney princess films", whereas Ariel embodies a transition towards their more empowered successors.[14] Lima noted Giselle's distinguishing trait is that while her predecessors are largely reactive, Enchanted's contemporary setting forces Giselle to become an active participant in her own fairy tale.[13] Lima said she is able to survive her unfamiliar circumstances by possessing an innate ability to adapt to new situations.[13]

As a former Disney animator, producer Barry Josephson described Lima as an expert on Disney's princess characters, which he credited with helping develop Giselle.[13] Similarly, short credits Lima with establishing the appropriate tone for Giselle's evolution, without resorting to simply making fun of Disney's princess culture.[10] According to Adams, the character's journey is about discovering genuine emotions, the true meanings of love and being human: "She finds out that life is more complicated than it has appeared so far in her life and that it is not all about happy endings, but can be very exciting”.[15] A significant moment in Giselle's development is when she experiences the feeling of anger for the first time during an argument with Robert, while noticing his chest hair, a feature that was typically omitted from animated characters.[13] Some of the creative team heavily debated whether the film warranted a final battle, but Short ultimately decided the moment was necessary to completed Giselle's transformation into a person who no longer needs to be rescued, becoming "proactive even in the face of danger".[10] Kelly identified Giselle as his favorite character to write for, who he claimed to be "slightly in love with".[16]

Casting and portrayal

Adam Shankman was one of the original directors for the film before Lima; Shankman had expressed interest in offering the lead role to Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon.[17][18][19] Animation historian Jim Korkis reported that established actresses such as Cameron Diaz, Renée Zellwegger, Jennifer Garner and Christina Aguilera had also been considered.[20] Lima specifically wanted to hire an unknown actress to maintain the illusion of the character's innocence,[21] comparing Giselle's naivety to Daryl Hannah's character in Splash (1984).[21] Approximately 300 actresses auditioned for the part.[22][23] By the time Adams auditioned in 2005,[24] Lima had already interviewed approximately 250 candidates, and had begun doubting he would find the right actress.[21] Disney was initially hesitant to hire Adams because she was not well-known at the time and believed they needed an established star to attract audiences.[11][note 1] Although Adams herself was interested in the role from the moment she read the script, she expected Disney would overlook her in favor of a more famous actress.[15] However, Lima was instantly impressed by Adams' audition, believing she looked like a Disney princess,[26] and described her as the only auditionee capable of disappearing into the role without judging the character’s naivete.[21][22] Disney executive Dick Cook relented upon seeing her screen test and cast her immediately.[11] Lima likened hiring Adams to Disney introducing the word to Julie Andrews via Mary Poppins (1964).[11] To appease the studio on casting a lesser-known actress as the lead, Lima offered to hire more established actors in supporting roles,[21] which ultimately contributed to Patrick Dempsey being cast as her love interest.[27]

Actress Reese Witherspoon (pictured) was one of several actresses considered for the role of Giselle before Amy Adams was cast.

Adams said she was drawn to the role because of Giselle's good nature and opportunity for her younger relatives to see her in a family-friendly film.[28] She envisioned Giselle as "a strong character" despite her kind, sweet nature, explaining that her innocence is rooted in inexperience and lack of exposure,[15] and strove to maintain her kindness as she evolves.[15] She did not intentionally watch Disney films to prepare for the role because she had watched them constantly growing up, citing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950) and The Little Mermaid (1989) as childhood favorites that influenced her performance in Enchanted.[15][28] She also drew inspiration from Lima's storyboards, who had storyboarded the entire film prior to filming.[15] Despite the character being a princess, Adams said she approached Giselle like she would any other role, but did feel a sense of responsibility to maintain a positive image as a potential role model for young girls.[15]

Since the film is a musical, Adams was determined to not have her singing dubbed by another performer and underwent intensive vocal training to perform all of her character's songs.[24] Despite her musical theatre experience,[15] she described the musical numbers, romantic scenes, and action sequences as the most challenging to film because she needed to rely on her imagination to interact with animated and CGI elements.[15] She took dance lessons with Dempsey in preparation for the film's ballroom sequence, and found it difficult to learn to dance with a partner despite being a trained dancer.[15] Their instructor advised Adams that she needed to learn to trust her dance partner and let Dempsey lead her, which she was initially hesitant to do.[15]

Giselle's costumes were designed by Mona May.[29] Giselle begins the film wearing traditional Disney princess attire, with her outfits gradually becoming more modern the longer she remains in New York to mirror her maturity and evolution into a "real woman".[30] Her progression culminates in a modern-day version of a ballgown towards the film's climax, which May intentionally kept secret from the audience.[31] Her most elaborate costume, the wedding dress, proved challenging for Adams to move in because it consists of several steel hoops and weighs 45 pounds.[27][28] It also required 15 minutes to put on completely,[28] and prevented her from moving forwards or backwards.[15] May designed the gown based on Lima's instructions to deliver a "humongous contrast to the flat drawings", sewing several layers and petticoats into the dress.[29] Adams fell wearing the dress several times, which was captured on film.[32] Ultimately, she credits the dress with helping inform how Giselle would move on camera.[33] May designed Giselle's ballgown to appear as though she could have purchased it from Bergdorf Goodman, and based it on dresses worn by actress Ginger Rogers during the 1930s and concept art of Disney princesses.[31]

Design and animation

Early versions of the script did not include any animated sequences, which the filmmakers decided to incorporate once they realized they would be introducing audiences to a "a new Disney princess" in the form of Giselle, as no princess films were in development at Disney around this time.[10] Short opted for a traditionally animated introduction in the realm of Disney's earliest princess films instead of a computer-animated opening to remind audiences that Giselle was not a contemporary Disney princess.[10] He felt it would not have made sense to have Giselle be computer-animated because she was intended to resemble a character from Disney's past.[10]

The animated version of Giselle was animated by James Baxter,[28] who supervised all of the film's animated sequences.[34] He had previously been a supervising animator for Belle on Beauty and the Beast (1991), in addition to working on several other films for Disney before relocating to DreamWorks Animation by the time he was hired for Enchanted.[35][36] Baxter envisioned Giselle as a combination of Adams and classic Disney princesses,[13] and referenced classic Disney films to ensure that she resembled an archetypical Disney heroine but also unique as her own character.[34] Giselle's mannerisms and Adams' vocal inflections were mostly based on Snow White.[36] Baxter worked on the character primarily with fellow Disney animators Mark Henn and Robert Domingo.[34][35] Henn was known for having previously animated several of Disney's leading ladies.[37] Adams provided live action reference for the animators by posing and acting out some of her character's animated scenes, allowing the animators to incorporate some of her mannerisms and characteristics.[28] To prevent the character from devolving into caricature, Lima shot footage of Adams performing some of the scenes the animated version of her character would be doing and shared them with the animators so they could see how Giselle translated in the real world.[36] Lima said this ensured that both versions of the character were perceived as one character.[11] Meanwhile, Lima shared some of Baxter's animation tests with Adams which helped her develop a way of appears as though she were floating instead of walking.[36] Baxter also visited the live-action set to watch Adams act.[11]

Reception

Simon Brew of Den of Geek believes Giselle proved to introduce a more progressive version of Disney heroines several years before Brave (2012) and Frozen (2013).[11] According to May, Giselle was one of the first Disney princesses to save her prince.[31]

Adams received widespread acclaim for her performance. Writing for Slate, Dana Stevens said Adams delivered "the great female comic performance of the year so far".[38] Author Frederica Mathewes-Green said Adams "couldn’t be better in this role".[2] Some journalists considered Adams' performance to be deserving of an Academy Award nomination,[39][40][41] but Martin A. Grove of The Associated Press felt a nomination would be unlikely due to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' tendency to rarely reward comedic performances.[21] Grove predicted that Adams was more likely to receive a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.[21] Despite not receiving an Academy Award nomination for Enchanted, Adams performed "Happy Working Song" – one of the film's three Oscar-nominated songs – live at the 80th Academy Awards in 2008.[42] The success of Enchanted established Adams as a bankable film star.[11][43] Abby Norman of Romper described it as one of her most beloved roles.[44] In retrospective reviews, some publications have deemed Adams' lack of nomination of snub.[45][46][47]

Impact and legacy

In the weeks leading up to the film, Steve Daly of Entertainment Weekly anticipated that Adams' Giselle "will be endlessly replicated by performers at Disney theme parks across the globe", with the character predicted to be used in Disney's tie-in products and merchandise.[24] According to Melissa Marr of The Wall Street Journal, some Disney creatives reported that Enchanted was exclusively conceived with the intention of introducing a new princess into the Disney Princess franchise.[48] Following the critical and commercial success of Enchanted, Disney confirmed that Giselle would be inducted into the studio's Disney Princess lineup as an official member and merchandised accordingly.[49] Disney had planned on creating a Giselle doll to market the film, which would have been their first directly modeled on the likeness of a real person,[27] but canceled the idea upon learning they would owe Adams lifetime royalties for using her likeness in their merchandising.[49][50] However, Disney continued manufacturing Giselle dolls and dresses.[51] Some critics and fans consider Giselle to be an honorary member of the Disney Princess line.[52] A writer for MovieWeb described her as one of Disney's most successful female characters who lack a "princess" title.[53] In 2022, Sydney Bucksbaum of Entertainment Weekly dubbed her the studio's "first live-action Disney princess", despite not being a member of the franchise.[54]

Ellen Walker of Polygon said Disney's satirical yet earnest treatment of Giselle informed how they would approach comedy in subsequent films, specifically in order to compete with DreamWorks' Shrek franchise.[55] According to Caroline Siede of The A.V. Club, "Enchanted helped revitalize interest in the Disney princess genre", which would eventually lead to successful princess-themed films such as Frozen (2013) and Moana (2016).[14] Siede wrote that Giselle’s positive influence on Robert and other Enchanted characters delivers "its strongest argument for the value of the Disney princess, even in her most archetypal form".[14] Following the release of Barbie in 2023, some publications compared the storyline and evolution of the title character played by Margot Robbie to Giselle.[56][57]
