Amy Adams revealed how she has changed Giselle's life now that she has become a mom in the second part of 'Enchanted'.
Amy Adams brings Giselle back to life in 'Disenchanted', which shows the dark side of the naive princess. That innocent young woman who with her singing attracted and fell in love with the rats, squirrels, and cockroaches of New York, found the love of her life in a divorced mortal and decided to abandon the fairy tale destiny that awaited her.
"She feels like she's lost a bit of her magic and sees that reflected in other people. She thinks that by moving to a place that reminds her of Andalasia, she'll be able to recapture a bit of that magic from the past", said the actress.
The monotony faced by Giselle, who is now the mother of a little girl and maintains a "normal" life in the city, will lead her to move to Monroeville, a town where she will live a new adventure that will put the integrity of her loved ones at risk and his place of origin, Andalusia.
As Amy Adams considered, everything her character does "is out of love for others", even when this does not seem like it, and even though being so dependent on the past leads her to slowly, and involuntarily, transform into an incipient villain.
"I think Giselle learns in the process that actually moving forward can be as nice as looking back," the 48-year-old actress elaborated on the story, which, like the first film, relies on animation to maintain the mood. from a traditional princess tale.
With 'Disenchanted', Amy Adams returns to work as a producer that she has also carried out on television projects such as 'Sharp Objects' in 2018 and which has continued with titles such as 'Sam & Kate' (2022).
"It was amazing, especially in this film, because I had such a deep relationship with all the characters and it was nice to get into their stories," she said.
This also allowed the actress to have a say in incorporating talent into the film, including comedian Maya Rudolph ("Saturday Night Live", 2000-2007) who gives life to the envious Malvina Monroe, or Gabriella Baldacchino.
"Monroe is the most popular girl in town until Giselle shows up and is wonderful, charming, and friendly. Malvina is not like that, so she creates direct competition between the two and wants to win," Rudolph explained to the Magazine.
For her part, Baldacchino had to put herself in the shoes of Morgan, the teenage daughter of Robert (Patrick Dempsey) and Giselle, a role previously played by Rachel Covey. "What I wanted to preserve from the original film was the adoration and love that Morgan has for Giselle, even as she grows up to be a typical teenager. I wanted to hold on to that," the actress explained.
Finally, after songs like "That's How You Know" or "True Love Kiss" became popular in 2007, music once again takes center stage in 'Disenchanted', once again orchestrated by the American composer, pianist, and producer, Alan Menken, also responsible for the music of films such as "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) or "Pocahontas" (1995).
"The music is what makes you feel like you're watching a fairytale movie, it's what unites fantasy with reality, and it's what made me think I was in a fantasy world," Rudolph said. "Disenchanted" is now available on the Disney+ platform and is one of the company's bets for this Christmas season.
