For instance, there probably isn't a Disney princess worth her tiara who doesn't have the power to instantly summon woodland creatures with the sound of her tinkling voice. Once Giselle pops up in the Big Apple, however, she has to settle for pigeons and rats instead of bunnies and bluebirds.

A few of the princesses have even scored cameos in Enchanted. The voice talent behind Ariel of The Little Mermaid (Jodi Benson) plays secretary to Patrick Dempsey's Robert, Belle of Beauty and the Beast (Paige O'Hara) turns up as a TV soap-opera actress, and Pocahontas (Judy Kuhn, who sang for the Native American princess) appears as a pregnant woman.

It takes a studio legacy to build a composite character as complex as the one played by Amy Adams. Here are some of the sources of inspiration behind Giselle. (Warning: Minor spoilers ahead.)




The last Disney comes out next Wednesday in France. It is a parody of all the classic Disney stories and magical tales : you find all the ingredients of the traditional tales, but presented in an unusual way and in our present world! Our game may be to spot the references...;)
