Though the film is full of allusions to the Disney canon, they are generally unobtrusive echoes rather than eager satires. This is a children's movie at which adults are also welcome, not a cartoon for grownups.

It may sound like faint praise to say that Enchanted is the movie of the year for smart and spirited 11-year-old girls. But a movie that genuinely respects that audience is not to be belittled.

Amy Adams delivers an iconic breakthrough performance in Kevin Lima's sophisticated and subversive Disney film.

Disney can afford to poke fun at a lot of things about itself, and in Enchanted, it does exactly that, to largely charming effect.

Enchanted earns its label as a "family film" by virtue of its ability to captivate audience members both young and old.

Maybe it's not a whole new world, but it's one you already know and love quite well.

Enchanted is rich in Disney iconography, the best recipient of which is Susan Sarandon as the wicked Queen. The film in general really benefits from a stellar production team that create the feeling of a classic Disney film in the real world.

It pulls out all the stops in hitting all the familiarities of the genre and spins it on its head in both a fun and intelligent way.

Disney offers a delightfully affectionate, and surprisingly entertaining, parody of its own traditions.

Inaugurates an entirely new demographic into the formula machination of the chick-flick (marital edition).

It is rare for me to use a term like 'magical' to describe a film, but this movie deserves it.

...an admittedly overlong yet thoroughly engaging effort that brings a fresh spin to the old fish-out-of-water formula.

Disney's self-mocking combination of animation and live-action is not without its charm, but so slim is the satire that the result comes dangerously close to resembling a cheap imitation by a moderately talented wannabe.

Its gimmick allows, in our post-ironic era, big musical production numbers in Central Park

There is no doubt about it - Amy Adams is the sole reason Walt Disney Pictures' "Enchanted" is so, well, enchanting.
