I mean, it’s kind of rude to turn your back to us, Mr. Shankman, but I guess thanks for letting us know this thing is hit a big production milestone. As you can tell from the IG post,Disenchantedwill be hitting Disney+ sometime next year and while we don’t have a lot of info on the sequel, some stuff has leaked out during the course of filming.
According toTheDisInsider, the plot centers on Giselle, Robert and Morgan moving to a house in the suburbs and a spell that backfires. They also say to expect some Disney cameos, including a certain gaggle of dwarves, and that many of your favorites from the original film will be coming back, including Adams,Patrick Dempsey,Idina MenzelandJames Marsden.
Joining on the fun inDisenchantedisMaya Rudolphas the film’s villain, and she’ll be joined byYvette Nicole Brownand Jayma Mays as her sidekicks.The Officeco-starOscar Nunezwill also have a role.
The most important returning favorite, though, isAlan Menken. He’s the composer and songwriter and has a long list of credits that is guaranteed to include an earbug for every single person reading this.Little Shop of Horrors.The Little Mermaid.Beauty and the Beast.Aladdin.Newsies(seize the day!).Pocahontas. And, of course, the originalEnchanted. Menken is coming back with a bunch of new songs, including one for Idina Manzel, and he’ll have the help ofEnchantedlyricistStephen Schwartzagain too.
Enchantedrules, especially for Disney fans. It’s self-aware, but also wholeheartedly in love with the Disney Princess genre, so while it may give the formula a gentle ribbing, it’s not a mean-spirited roasting. So now it’s time to refresh yourself on the original. Fair warning, though, hearing just a couple of seconds of “Happy Working Song” will get that damn song stuck in your head for at least a week.
