Prince Edward: Thank you for taking care of my bride, peasants.

Prince Edward: Have you any last words before I dispatch you?
Robert: You have got to be kidding me!
Prince Edward: Strange words!

Giselle: Why are you staring at me?
Robert: I don’t know. It’s just that… it’s like you escaped from a Hallmark card or something.
Giselle: Is that a bad thing?

Robert: Would you like me to call someone for you?
Giselle: I don’t think they would hear you from here.

Giselle: Nobody has been very nice to me.
Robert: Yeah, well, welcome to New York.
Giselle: Thank you.

Robert: You’re crazy!
Queen Narissa: No. Spiteful, vindictive, very large, but never crazy.

Prince Edward: I seek a beautiful girl. My life partner, my one coquette, the answer to my love’s duet.
Arty: I-I’d like to find one of them too, you know?

Giselle: Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night.
Robert: What kind of place?
Giselle: I don’t know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree.
Robert: A hollow tree?
Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they’re very hospitable.

Giselle: I was just thinking.
Prince Edward: Think-ing?
Giselle: Before we leave, there’s one thing I would love to do.
Prince Edward: Well, name it my love, and it is done.
Giselle: I want to go on a date.
Prince Edward: A date!… what’s a date?

Queen Narissa: No! The most powerful thing in the world? Ha! I don’t think so. You have no idea who you’re dealing with. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. Back up and get ready for the main event!

Giselle: Oh, it’s you.
Prince Edward: Yes, it’s me. And you are?
Giselle: Giselle.
Prince Edward: Oh, Giselle! We shall be married in the morning!

• When Edward is on top of the bus, the people riding the tour buses next to him, laughing and pointing at him, aren’t extras but real tourists.
• In the scene where Edward is run over by the cyclists, James Marsden was actually hit by them for real. The cyclists were just meant to “bump” him, and he would fake a fall. But Marsden didn’t think it looked good, so he insisted on filming the collision for real.
• The scene director, Kevin Lima, found the most challenging to shoot was the musical number “That’s How You Know” in Central Park. The five-minute scene took 17 days to finish due to changing weather, leaving only seven sunny days to film it. The filming was also hampered at times by Patrick Dempsey’s fans.
• The actresses who provided the voices for three previous animated Disney Princesses made appearances in this movie: Jodi Benson (“Ariel” in The Little Mermaid (1989)), Paige O’Hara (“Belle” in Beauty and the Beast (1991)), and Judy Kuhn as the title character’s singing voice in Pocahontas (1995). Also, Dame Julie Andrews, who starred as the title character in Disney’s live-action Mary Poppins (1964), provided her voice here as The Narrator, and Idina Menzel, who played Nancy, voiced Queen Elsa in Disney’s Frozen (2013) and Frozen II (2019).
• The law firm where Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey) works is Frank Churchill, Leigh Harline, and Paul J. Smith, the surnames of the songwriters from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
• Disney had originally planned to add Giselle to the Disney Princess line-up, as shown at a 2007 toy fair, where the Giselle doll was featured with packaging declaring her a Disney Princess, but decided against it when they realized they would have to pay for lifelong rights to Amy Adams’ image.
• While Giselle is looking into the fish tank, “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid (1989) plays in the background. In the same scene, Jodi Benson played the secretary. She played Ariel in The Little Mermaid (1989).
• The restaurant at which Edward and Giselle have dinner is named “Bella Notte”. That is the name of the song being sung while Lady and Tramp are eating spaghetti in Lady and the Tramp (1955).
• HIDDEN MICKEY: The bus driver’s hair is shaped like Mickey Mouse’s ears, as are the green pepper slices on the pizza that Robert and Giselle are served at the Bella Notte restaurant.
• According to Kevin Lima (in his director’s commentary on YouTube), his favorite scene was the argument between Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey), because you can see Robert falling in love with Giselle.
• Enchanted began filming on April 17, 2006.
