***************************

Here's a list of the various Disney references hidden throughout Enchanted. Some are easier to spot than others.

Enjoy!

* Troll is wearing remnants of past Animated Disney Princess dresses as a loincloth: Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. He also wears Ariel’s shells as earrings.
* In Giselle's tree house you can see the bell jar with the rose in it, from Beauty and the Beast, clearly on the right as the camera pushes towards Giselle and Pip sitting on window seat.
* The troll yells the Goofy scream when he is flung from the tree into the next kingdom.
* Times Square is filled with many references to Disney or the individuals in the film. None of this was done on purpose, it just was there on the day they shot.
- Tarzan, the Broadway Musical posters - Disney film and directed by Kevin Lima.
- Wicked poster - Stephen Schwartz is the composer/lyricist, Idina Menzel was the original Elphaba.
* The last name of the divorcing couple is Banks, based on the troubled parents in Mary Poppins.
* The name of Robert's law firm is an homage to the songwriters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Frank Churchill, Leigh Harline and Paul J. Smith.
* Robert's assistant Sam is named after Philip's trusted stead Samson in Sleeping Beauty.
* Sam is played by Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
* The woman on the bus with the bag of birdseed is an homage to the bird woman in Mary Poppins. She appears later feeding the pigeons in Central Park.
* The bus driver's hair is Mickey shaped.
* Sam sits across from a fish tank, which is a reference to The Little Mermaid.
* Poison apples are a direct reference from Snow White.
* "Part of Your World" muzak plays over the office speakers as Giselle watches the fish.
* In the old folks section of the Central Park dance, the yellow jacketed gentleman danced as a chimney sweep in the original film version of Mary Poppins.
* Rapunzel is being performed in the Central Parl bandshell - an homage to the upcoming Disney film.
* Square trees in the Rapunzel performance look like the Eyvind Earle designs for the Sleeping Beauty trees.
* In the hotel Edward flips the remote on the TV. “Magic Mirror” is a reference to the mirror the Queen in Snow White talks to.
* The soap opera star is Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Her name is Angela after Angela Lansbury, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast.
* The male soap opera star is named Jerry after Jerry Orbach, Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast.
* Angela's offscreen affair is with Ogden after David Ogden Stiers, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast.
* The music that underscores the soap opera is the song Beauty and the Beast.
* The soap opera set is built to look like the bandaging scene from Beauty and the Beast. It's even snowing.
* The Bella Notte Restaurant is named after the song in Lady and the Tramp. There is a sign in the window at the far end of the restaurant.
* When Giselle is telling Morgan the story of Little Red Ridinghood there is a Belle doll wearing sunglasses, which can be seen in the chair at the start of the scene.
* When Edward is searching the apartment complex for Giselle, the pregnant mom is Judy Kuhn, the singing voice of Pocahontas.
* The Old Hag appears at the ball and convinces Giselle to bite into the last of the poison apples - Snow White.
* The shot when Giselle bits the apple replicates the apple falling from Snow White's hand.
* At the ball Giselle is laid on a bier - Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
* At the ball a kiss will wake Giselle from her sleep - Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.
* At the ball the clock chimes 12 - Cinderella.
* At the ball Giselle loses her glass slipper - Cinderella.
* The "glass slipper" fits Nancy perfectly as in Cinderella.
 
Oh, those are great!! Some of them are easy to spot on a first viewing, while you would have to know about the others in order to catch them. I wondered about that attorney's office name...
 
Just came back from it. Cute movie. One of the books in Morgan's room is Cinderella. And it looks like a Belle yellow gown is hanging up on a hook.
 

Oh, those are so cool!

How about the whole Central park scene?

it reminded us of Epcot! :teeth:

and when they are rowing across the lake...it was like Kiss the Girl.

The lady with the candelabra on her head during the Central Park number.....Lumiere.


That whole central park scene was filled with Disney stuff. :teeth:


We loved this movie! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2
 
Also, when the troll reaches into Giselle's forest house it is very similar to Alice in Wonderland.
Thanks for the comprehensive list! I was racking my brain for some of those things.
 
That's awsome. I will have to look for them the next time I see the movie.
 
Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins)is the voice over at the beginning & end of the movie
