Disney's Disenchanted: Enchanted Sequel

[Lily Adler]

Ouch

Aw that sucks. I'll still watch it though.

 

[Drizzle]

From the sound of it they waited too long for this one.

 

[psylockolussus]

Oh Lord. At least its gonna be a boX office failure.

I think you meant not right?

I do think they waited too long to do a sequel. It's been 15 years.

Like on one hand I did want a National Treasure 3. On the other hand, the last movie came out over 15 years ago.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I don't think waiting too long would've made it good or bad. I just think they got the wrong creative team behind it.

It also seemed to have a lower budget than the original - Disney+ and all. I mean, it went from New York City to an isolate cottage in the woods lol

Yeah typo.

The critical reception of this reminded me, of the poorly reviewed Straight to vhs/dvd movies by Disney.

Yeah this is similar logic except Disney+. At the very least all the original actors came back for this film and they got the main three women for Hocus Pocus.

I will say the production values on this looked better than Hocus Pocus, which looked very much like a direct-to-Disney Channel movie.

I am intrigued to see, if Disney could make their straight to streaming movies look like a theaterical movie several years from now. Peter Pan and Lady and the Tramp didn't look cheap and looks way more eXpensive than most NetfliX movies. I haven't seen Disenchanted but it looks on par (production wise) from the first movie based on the trailers.

I feel like since Disney+ is a new platform and they want to rival NetfliX, they are pouring big money that Disney didn't really do with their straight to Dvd/cable movies in the past if I'm not mistaken.

I think Andor is the first show they've done that consistently looks like feature quality. I think Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett did...at times.

 

[Drizzle]

I have this on as background noise while getting some housework done and there's too much singing. I'm aware that's a weak complaint since it's a musical but the songs just aren't good.

Parts of Loki, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Mandalorian (I only watched season 1) and Moon Knight at times looked like mid budgeted films. But when it wasn't, they felt like Marvel Studios/Lucasfilm not producing a theaterical movie. It could be done, if they stay consistent.

I'm guessing Menken didn't work on the music for this one.

 

[Albright]

Saw it and it wash much better than Hocus Pocus 2. Really liked it and costumes and set design were definitely on a cinematic level.
Story has its weak moments

 

[Drizzle]

I'm guessing Menken didn't work on the music for this one.

Sadly he did. It's a far cry from the glory days of the Disney Renaissance.

Who sings the mandatory pop song at the end or the Carrie Underwood of this movie?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Liked this, and thought it stomped the terrible Hocus Pocus 2 into the ground.

What do you mean? The Falcon and the Winter Soldier looked just like those terrible looking Marvel flicks.

Someone doesn't like Blondie covers.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Someone doesn't like Blondie covers.

Someone doesn't like when the most interesting aspect of the movie (the new kids) is ignored for a bunch of boring "comedy" that didn't work 30 years ago.

I was wondering what the hell happened to Kevin Lima. His last feature was Enchanted!

Lima tells THRthat he was “shocked” to not get asked to be involved in the new film, which currently holds a 39 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, as opposed to Enchanted’s 93 percent rating.

“A perfect storm of a change of executives and Hollywood politics made it so that I was uninvited to the party, unfortunately,” he says of Disenchanted. “It was a very, very sad turn. I haven’t seen the movie; I haven’t read the script. So I’m going to experience the characters that I helped create, grow and live on as the audience does.”

So Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken did the music... I like when the two of them work together.

 

[Lily Adler]

Badder is definitely my favorite sequence from the film. Idina and high notes are like peanut butter and jelly.

When's Cheno's time Disney!

 

[Albright]

the movie is even more fun, when you discover all those easter eggs

 

[Babillygunn]

I watched this but fell asleep sadly. The first one was a well-crafted homage parody. This one just kind of slipped into the kind of film that the first one parodying.

Still, not awful. But also not nearly as good as the original.

 

[Lily Adler]

So rewatched the original and totally forgot how the first sequence is reversed in the climax.
