Enchanted/Trivia
- Actor Allusion: Ariel has a fish tank where she works.
- And the office has a Muzak version of "Part of Your World".
- Also, the little musical cue that strikes up when Paige O'Hara first appears sounds awfully familiar...
- Cameo: Several previous Disney Princesses make appearances in the movie -- Jodi Benson, the physical model and voice actress for Ariel in The Little Mermaid; Paige O'Hara, the voice actress for Belle in Beauty and the Beast; and Judy Kuhn, who performed the singing voice for Pocahontas.
- Hey, It's That Guy!: Hey, what are Cyclops, Dr. McDreamy, Janet, Maureen and Peter Pettigrew doing in this movie?
- Forget Maureen, what's Elphaba doing here?!
- Clay Davis too. Shiiiiiiit
- A lesser example, but fans of Sonic the Hedgehog are bound to get a kick out of this; the calypso singer who sings "That's How You Know" with Giselle is Marlon Saunders, better known for singing the vocals of both versions of Knuckles' Image Song "Unknown From M.E.".
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Robert's secretary is Ariel.
- Shout-Out: Many, many, many to past Disney movies. The Blu-Ray DVD version even contains a special feature on them.
- A particularly delicious one is the name of the roving reporter who tells Edward how to find Giselle, since it references the voice actresses of three Disney princesses: Mary (Costa, Sleeping Beauty) Ilene (Wood, Cinderella), Caselotti (Andrea, Snow White). To know this, of course, you'd have to be a true fan... or have no life. You make the call.
- The scene on the rooftop at the end is reminiscent of how Frollo meets his end in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, or, more generally, of the standard Disney Villain Death.
- Non-Disney shout out: the scene [dead link] in the first third of "How Do You Know": right after Giselle picked up the band, she is running over some green meadows, singing, in a blue-white dress, arms wide-spread, with some trees in the middle-distance and a mountain of multistory buildings in the background. It's a reference to The Sound of Music and Beauty and the Beast, in the "Belle (reprise)" scene.
- The Other Wiki has a rather extensive list.
- At the climax of the story, a giant creature climbs up a high New York building, holding a Dude in Distress in its paws and drops to its death. Sounds familiar?
- What Could Have Been: In the first draft of the script (and mentioned earlier on this page), once Giselle enters the real world, she gets mistaken for a stripper. It was not intended for Disney and certainly not intended for kids.
- Enchanted was originally planned out as a film that was intended to be an R-rated film that was a parody of the popular Disney Princesses. The result of this change of plans was because the writers had troubles with the script. Seeing how this was planned during the '90s, it would have been something like take that on a certain kids thing. It isn't known for certain if this was planned as an animated film or a live-action film, but the result of either wouldn't have been pretty for certain people.
